Hey guys, i'm lookin at buying an R32 GTR, what should i be looking for in these? Are there common problems? Anyone got one for sale? LOL!!!

If you guys can help me out that'd be good

There's a pinned thread somewhere about what to look for when buying a skyline mate.

You pretty much just check it out like any other turbo car. Compression test, etc.

also how much would you expect a stocker r32 GTR to be going for? do you reckon i could pick one up for about 15k?

No. Or atleast not one that was either moving, licenced or that you would not be deeply ashamed of.

i bought mine 3 months ago. i looked for smoke after 4 grand, kms leaks/ drips under engine/gearbox. paid 21.500 remember when buying a gtr tho there is maintenance maintenance and more maintenance

yes but thats definately towards the low side...

(like anything they vary according to cond etc)

normally around the 20k mark these days i think

haha summed up well!

[Black Widow]

ok so closer to 20 for a decent one? would there be anything worth looking at between 15-20? or is it 20 and upwards? cos i've seen some that are about 17K which look alright

[adam-__-]

If I were to purchase a 32 GTR, I wouldn't look at anything below $21k - $22k.

I'm not saying that there's no GTR under $20k that's good, but there's just a higher chance of them being in need of a rebuild soon, or things need replacing. If you find one for $17k that passes all the major $$ spending test, go right ahead and purchase it!

i bought mine recently for 20k, bargained down from 23k.

for a roadworthy it needed 1 new brake disk(replaced all 4)

and needs the engine mounts gearbox mounts and tailshaft center bearing are on the way out. but nothing to stress about just yet.

all up on the road i spent 21k on it, not including rego etc.

i guess thats not overly bad is it...i'm thinkin maybe i should save up a bit more money before i consider buying one...i was hoping i could get out of it for under $20k..but it looks like if i spend under 20 on the car..i'll be spending more on repairs...

My advice is buy private, all the 32 GTRs that I looked at in importers yards for comparison sake when buying mine where absolute crocks of shit. This was at various importer yards around Melbourne, someone like power play imports though usually import quality or reasonable nick cars (but also on the more pricey side of things as well).

So checkout the for sale section of this forum and carsales.com.au in the private seller section.

Cheers!

PS...The R32 GTR for $27,000 about two fifths of the way down the page is one I was looking at when in the market, looks very neat and probably a pretty good price if you could get them down a grand or two. Good luck in the hunt

Dont skimp on the purchase, buy the best you can.

i have a mint r32 gtr which i brought over from japan and got a 2000 dollar service done by mercury motosports in brisbane. Body, mechanics, interior are all perfect. Not 1 dent. had a compression test and leakdown test with exactly the same on all 6 cyl. I wouldn't sell mine for less than 22k. Sure you can get them for 17k but parts are not cheap.
