Hi everyone,

This is my first post i stumbled across the forum as I am in the market for an R32 GTR aswell, so this will be my first skyline

I have carefully read through all of your suggestions and taken notes, my biggest problem is I am in western nsw and its difficult to find any out here, I am looking into a few trips to Sydney to take a look around, I have found a few import places as per advice on this and other forums.

The main place i am interested in looking at is power play but as i only have a day to play with down there can any one tell me if power play have a hoist which we can stick it up and take a look and will they do a compression test, or is there a few mechanics about there which will allow me to pull in off the street for a check up?

I am also going to check out the toy shop, and also another place which a freind of mine who has recently bought a 180sx from.

He is a mechanic and is going to come with me so somewhere with a hoist which will allow us to get in and take a look too would be nice..

Any Sydney siders some adivce would be great!

Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much for the heads up this goes against every thing i have heard so far, so i will take this in mind....

Can any body recommend any where else in Sydney then please?

That all makes sense.

Psychologically, don't tell the owner that you're in the business. And if he's reluctant to let you have it up on a hoist, forget it. Rust is a no-no.

When you take a mechanic who knows his GTRs, you can happily pay attention to 1 list whilst he looks at another. Take a list for each of you.

So many things to do before you turn the key, as indicated above...

Even if CV boots are ok, just do sharp slow turns and circles in both directions and listen for clicking/mild knocking.

Take the car out onto the motorway and do 20secs at several 'constant/steady' speeds to see if the tailshaft is solid or weak.

Finally, try >3 R32 GTRs on the day if you can. You'll know why....

Cheers,

Terry

Hiya, ^^^^ From the above it certainly looks as if you've done your homework well.

That last R32 you've inspected shouldn't be on the road.

It's a "sell for parts only" situation.

Good on ya for rejecting it in the "Diasappointed" Thread

Hope your New Arrival is a great joy to you!

Tez.
