If it's untouched with over 100,000k's will probably mean you'll have to spend some money on it sooner or later, so a recent rebuilt one would be OK with rebuilt turbos as well (they don't last forever).

As for K's who knows? It's hard enough to know if the k's on the clock are real or not anyway, most imported R32 GTR's here have had a cluster change. If you can find a GTR with books and original cluster would be the best but good luck with imports as the books are hardly ever there.

Hey guys...because i am going to purchase a R32 GTR soon...but not too sure...would it be better to get a rebuilt engine GTR or ones that has been untouched?

Also how many Ks...would be consider average for a 93-94 R32 GTR

thanks!

It's wise to be patient and get the right one. Even if it took you a year to find it, you'll never regret it Taizi.

One thing you can do is ask the owner for past paper work and diguise the fact that you're after pink slips as well. Funny, I keep all mine over the years and one thing you look for is the current mileage on the pink slip. If from one year to the next, the mileage has dropped, you have to suspect either tampering or a new gauge cluster has been installed. Any detailer or panelbeater will also tell you that bolster/carpet/steering wheel wear is a giveaway marker.

And lastly, take the car before the deposit, to a Skyline specialist workshop for a detailed look and be prepared to pay for this check. Well worth the trouble.

Regards,

Terry

Go the rebuilt one, make sure it's been done properly though this means confirmation of parts and work.

Need less to say you'll hear it from everyone, the amount of money you will save buying one with all the work done to it is ludacris... There is an abundance of them for sale atm and the demand is low, owners having to negotiate to shift there cars.

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
