hey peeps my friend is looking at a r32 to buy and the guy has $10,500 on it. Just wondering if you guys think this is too much or not.

I've listed details below and we took a pic:

Model: Nissan Skyline 1989 4 door GTS-T

Engine: RB20DET

Km’s: 156000

Paint: Dark blue. Needs slight patch up on drivers side near rear wing and on rear bar just below boot.

Body kit: Stock. Fibreglass bonnet with carbon fibre overlay

Wheels: Stock 16s.

Tyres: Front Nankang. Rear: Yokohama A Drives

Engine Accessories: GFB Blow Off Valve. APEXi pod filter. Boost is running at 11psi. Aftermarket exhaust

Suspension: Tein coil overs all round.

Interior: Steering wheel is a bit ratty due to age. No front speakers. Rear speakers aren’t properly secured just been too lazy to do it. Aftermarket boost gauge installed in air vent.

Sedans are less popular, and 89's are the oldest of the lot. If that car is an auto it is deffinately over priced. If not considering how stock it is and its age, id be aiming to get it for $9k if its in good nick.

its manual. its in great condition apart from the 2 spots where the paint is bad and the steering wheel. almost brand new tyres on the rear (so obviously its probably been flogged or just alot of wear) but we've had it checked out n the mechanic reckons its in top shape

$10,500 is a bit much IMO considering the km's on it.

There are a few on carsales for $10,000 with under 100,000kms..

(But then some people don't care about km's as much as I do.)

All R32 GTS-T's are between 14 - 18 years old. If you think a car of that age has less than 100,000km (which means it has done less than aproximately 7000km - 5500km per year!!) then good luck to you. Most of the skylines brought into Australia are wound back. I would never buy an r32 that had less than 100,000km and think that the k's were genuine...

So when it comes to skylines the number on the dash means little. You need to assess the condition of the car and engine and get it inspected and judge for yourself.

I think there would still be a few with genuine low kms..not many but a few.

I have an r32 sedan for sale as well. puttin new (genuine 120,000km) motor in it as we speak.

Odo reads 120 (beleive it was wound back) Mechanically it is in top shape.

few months ago i saw an 89 GTR for sale @ carsales.com.au with 300,000kms...... :P

Your point? :)

People can say all they want but I had an 89 Silvia that was a straight import which I got in..04? It only had 20,000km on the clock. Don't try and argue because I had the servicing books and 2 mechanics have since had a look (because it's been pulled apart recently to have an RB20 dropped in) Both have said that the odometer hasn't been touched..& coincides with the overall condition of it at the time.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
