Anyone Know This Car?

[lococard]

Heya,

Currently in the market for a R32 GTR and just wondered if anyone knew anything about this specific car.

Here is the link: http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...0&silo=1011

Anything i should be looking for in a R32 GTR? What are signs of wear and tear or thrashing? Generally a modified one means it has been pushed.

Thanks,

L.

well not that i know thecar

but from the looks of it...its a whole lotta mods that could cost alot of money if you did them yourself..so 20,000$ may be a real reasonable price

there are buying guides on this forum which could help you

Thanks for the reply.

Have been looking through the stickies, very helpful.

Was just hoping someone knew the car personally.

Don't suppose anyone recognizes the sticker on the side?

Also, is 270kw alot for the stock gearbox and drivetrain? Obviously treating her well with increase longevity but will this sort of power break stock parts?

My GTR has 270-300+rwkW (depending on boost) and has done so for the last 30,000kms or more. It's not a worry at all.

it depends.....

if the car is in crap condition.......sometimes modifying causes stress and will cause problems.....

either way......modifications cause premature wear and tear....

i dont think you should worry too much

since you have decided to buy a r32 gtr you should be wary that they are old.

And that you should have a budget over the purchase price incase something happens to it.

Although this may not happen to you but you do see time and time that people budget only enough for the purchase price but then something happens and it's rebuild time but they dont have any money for a rebuild and need to sell.

The R32 GT-R was a premium variant and as such they are well built and with the proper level of maintenance, providing they haven't been abused, are a great car. If they have been modded by a muppet in back yard then there is a potential for a big bill. If on the other hand the vehicle has been modded by a reputable workshop then you shouldn't have too many problems.

Caveat emptor...get it checked by a specialist

What kind of mods are required to get around 270kw at the treads?

Will the stock turbos be good for that amount of power?

I'm guessing some injectors, exhaust, intercooler piping and a tune? Or is it much more than that?
