Adam,

Shaun at boostworx is knowledgeable in all things RB, so I would suggest him for sure. Cost? Well an inspection for my car was going to be ~$120 prior to purchase but he was rather booked out at the time so I went to Hi-Tech Dyno.. I would MUCH Rather have waited for Shaun in hind-sight.

Hope this helps

As above, Just take it to a reputable performance workshop.

Depending where you live Boostworx=South Wilall=North

I dont kno wheather to be wary or not...

Also looking at a R32 GTR

Anybody got any pros and cons of getting a R32 GTR or a R33 GTR?

also anybody owned either of these? would like to ask a few questions...

cheers

[MADGT4]

Tilbrooks would also be an option!

On that note though even if you get 100 different reports there could stiull be something wrong with it.

Not to deter you or anything... But yeah just make sure you have a decent amount of cash always put away "JUST IN CASE"

i own a 32gtr, and most of the good con 32gtrs are around the $22,000 mark (i purchased mine earlier this year)... so $28 seems kinda round the mark i'd expect from a 95-ish r33 mebe a bit on the cheap-ish side of things

i'd also recomend shaun from boost worx, he's helped me out lots

questions???

just with th 32 what things have u had to replace, repair, fix etc cos obviously there getting old... and i have heard some bad stories and exspensive stories about the diff and the oil pump etc...

but yer

[ecenshu]

Things to replace/maintain: everything included in a 100k kms service, if you are unsure of true km's which most will be, suspension bushings are usually shot to hell(well mine were), rubber boots (gearbox, driveshafts, suspension), suspension if it is still stock as they are so old. Get your pumps tested and replaced if they're not flowing (they are suprisingly tough though). Window seals are usually bad as well, my boot fills with water, I just don't store anything in the boot.

Oh, and get your car doors reset as they're usually sagged...I still haven't gotten around to doing mine

is this the type of thing boostworx can pick up if i take it there before i buy?

[ISC-Performance]

If your buying an early model R32 GTR make sure its already been rebuilt or at the very least the oil collar etc replaced.

Some of what I listed can be picked up with just a visual inspection, however some things need manual labour to test and will get charged for. Compression is usually a no brainer but leakdown and flow testing pumps etc should cost something. A lot of the stuff in my car I only picked up as I owned it, couldn't really get a thorough inspection done in Japan since mine was imported.

actually nothing has gone wrong with my car, its coming up to its 100,000km service, so im going to get it done properly and actually replace the oil pump with an n1 oil pump and get the sump modified, shaun from boost worx has got some kinda techniqe he uses to do it heaps cheaper than anywhere else in adealide, basically i e-mailed EVERYONE on the workshop listing as well as a few others, boost worx was the ONLY place to give me a full itemised quote with everything explained, didnt question any crazy request i had and didnt say "bring it in to get it looked at"

but things i have had done to it: re-shimed the valves (i think this is recomended to get done ever 40 to 80,000kms depending on how hard you drive the car) as well as a leak down test and a power run to check mixtures etc. also had a lot of it visual inspected by the guys from boost worx, including suspension. havent really needed any major repairs nothing critical has failed, one of the O2 sencors was a bit dicky but has come good recently, the air-con needs looking at, but i knew that before i bought it and there are no other issues lurking. so far the bill has been around $600 - this includes $100 to attempt to silence brembos =P

it all depends on how hard your gonna push it from the time you get it... if your an experianced track racer that is going to take it out the week you get it, then you could be looking at some issues, but if you have the time to make sure things are in order first, then they will be no worse off than a 33 imo - infact slightly better

hope this helps

[nisskid]

shauns great, but good luck getting it booked in any time soon, hes always booked out a few weeks in advance.

Oops forgot about the O2 sensors, mine were gone and was chewing up 18L/100kms at one stage.

cant give you exact price on the what it would cost he quoted labour for the whole job + individual parts prices, the pump itself was around $600 but i have no idea about the labour involved, soz

ok no problems because i have heard some scary $$$ figures

[HOSTILE]

I paid 25k for my 32 GTR just over 12 months ago and it came with r34 motor, cams, N1 spec turbos and heaps of other goodies...

Pay a little more get a lot more sort of thing...
