Hey guys I'm new to the forum.

I know that the forum has a large base therefore will be very helpful in the future but for now I need some help as I'm looking at purchasing an R32 GTR after I sell my Lancer GSR.

Are there any common problems eg. rust or faulty part I need to be cautious of?

Any responses would be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance guys :laugh:

Hi Danny,

Welcome to SAU and the Forums here.

Sad to see the Lancer go?

Well it'll be sadder to get a R32 GT-R that doesn't perform or has cancer, so you've come to the right place.

Besides your "Search" button that you can push to death,

i) look for rust in the rails, under window seals, crossmembers, wheel well, under carpets, engine bay

ii) seek out repaired and unrepaired damage in those above areas, as well as checking how the doors close evenly

iii) cross-checking history of services and whether or not they're consistent with wear and tear on upholstery/carpet/st.wheel

iv) odometer check-out with iii) and that the digits are exactly even

v) and then, like any other car, let your mechanic check his list of 'things to do' whilst you check yours

Top Secret Imports has just recently had a clean white R32 GT-R come in. I wonder if it's been taken now. Upholstery and engine were like new with v. low Kms that were consistent with the above.

Cheers,

Tez

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
