hey,

I'm looking to buy a R32 Gts-t and i'v only basically looked on car sales sites and alittle in the trading post. I'm looking to spend under 10k for something along the lines of this but with alittle less mods i guess.

http://www.carpoint.com.au/used-car/NISSAN...csn1564637.aspx

Just wondering is there any other places to buy a skyline that arnt known to the average joe?

One more thing, What year was the best 32 made? Engine and reliability ect.

Thanks.

yeh early R33's are becoming cheaper than R32's..

and they are a better package (if you can look past the looks)

better engine, better gearbox, only 60kg heavier.

but like I said..

Looks.

apart from forums and the sites you've already mentioned, there aren't that many other places to buy/sell cars.

One more thing, What year was the best 32 made? Engine and reliability ect.

Thanks.

the engines are all the same in the 32gtst's...the differences are in the interior. 89 models have blue guages, diff seating trim and a diff type of plastic around the radio console, which looks pretty crappy.

the older models also have RB20 embossed in the cam cover.

also try pik up a Type M gtst...the type M came with 4 piston front callipers and 2 piston rear, and also type M skirts and rear pods.

try and get the newest model with as lil' k's as possible, and very lil' mods. nuthin wrong with pikin up a lightly modified one...just be cautious of ones running high boost on the stock turbo etc...

and remember parts can be tricky and expensive to get for a skyline...so if u find one that needs lil' bits replaced...dont just think, 'np, ill just get that part from the wreckers'. hehe

good luck :unsure:

as it says, that car has pretty high km's.

make sure if you were interested that you had a mechanic or someone check it out with comp tests etc.

210,000km doesn't sound too convincing on an rb20 :unsure:

lotsa cars come through here so just keep your eyes peeled in the for sale section :P

ofcourse they can lower the boost...thats why i said just be cautious...get a compression test, check wat other mods they have...chek for aftermarket ecu...etc..

a stock 32 turbo can only take so much power...u dont wana buy a worked 32 runin a stock turbo, then 1 week later it disentegrates.

    • That's the thing. Cam is smaller than before.. though the old cam was +6 degrees advanced. We're talking huge changes here, the narrowbands want to trim out 20% of fuel and pull the (wideband) idle to like 16.0 AFR or such. One side is a little more trimmy than the other. Think along the lines of ~20% to ~15-18%. Unfortunately my scouring of the internet hasn't really found anyone with this issue. People either just disable NB's or have them wildly different, where one is -20% and the other is +20 or 0 (i.e a sensor is just dead/wiring is just busted). Turning them off and relying on the base map only results in the wideband reporting at about 14.0 with the Varex closed. It'd be a little leaner (closer to 14.7ish) with the Varex open. I know I can just change the switch points so that the narrowbands agree with the wideband, but it's still odd. Both of them are reading voltage, it's just that they're reading quite high mv, in the ~800 region. It's just odd. This was with the IAT fudged to report it was about ~22 degrees which is my guesstimation of the temperature in the room. I have an OEM sensor ready to try tonight, which is slow and crap - but .. worked last time I used it. Sadly I am aware that idle tuning with the big TB is going to be a PITA and I look 'forward' to many hours spent stalling or stumbling idle or delving into drivability things.
    • The GTR strut brace clears the new manifold.. by about 0.5mm. So this means I need to buy an OEM GTT Strut brace (again), which will clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. I guess I can sell the GTR Strut brace with the bonnet with the vents as a package deal as someone will need this one day. So my choices are vented bonnet but no strut brace, or GTR Bonnet with OEM brace (which I have to buy) but is bright red instead of the same colour as the rest of the car, which means the entire front end of the car will just be red until it goes back to paint jail. In other news the engine starts and doesn't leak. Why both O2 narrowband sensors think the tune is rich AF I do not know. The idle is also pretty shitty and my expensive IAT sensor from the USA is dead. The car sounds awful. But I assume or at least hope this is due to the many exhaust leaks, and the concrete garage it is in, sitting there with 0 intake bolted to it, and no bonnet or panels or anything to stop the induction/intake sound which is about 200db.
    • C'mon! At least come kicking and screaming into the 2000s. BA XR8 bulge.
    • No such thing as E30 in Sydney servos As stated above, flex fuel is your only viable,  and "safe" option I believe
