How much is this R32 worth?

[SR20DET910TRX]

Im looking to buy a new car and was hoping I could get some feedback here. These are the details ive got so far...

1992 Nissan Skyline R32 (GTS-T)

169 000 kms

twin-cam turbo 6 cylinder

4 Wheel Drive

4 Wheel Steer

ABS (I think)

Gun-metal grey (Metallic)

new 16in tyres

power mirrors and windows

central locking

alarm

climate control

Kenwood 6-stack CD player

automatic

2 months or 3000 kilometres warranty, whichever occurs first

$12500 negotiable.

Im pretty sure it also has ABS. Does it sound ok and is the price reasonable? I like the look and colour but im not 100% sure about the 4wd and 4ws as most r32s ive seen dont have this..

TIA.

4WD - its not 4WD if its a GTS-T for a start.. then it would be a GTS4, so you will want to check that. I don't believe ABS was available on R32 either (except maybe the later R32 GTR).

4WS is actually HICAS, which is a semi 4WS setup. Its standard on all R32 onwards.

auto is a downer, not as much fun or control. Worth less and harder to sell as well.

i bought mine for $9k but unknown to me at the time the engine was shot. $2k and a new engine later... Sounds ok to me, but i'm no expert. Predator is right tho, auto is a bit of a downer. i speak from experience as mine is an auto.

[red17]

I imported mine for 16k about a year ago before the threat of the 15 year rule had any effect on value like it seems to now.

Mines a manual 93 with full GTR body kit, including the ally bonnet, 92,000km. It has no ABS... which i love... coz quite frankly, i hate ABS. In pretty good nick once I tidied it up after coming off the boat.

Heres a pic:

I wouldnt buy an auto personally, but thats just down to preference. I'd say its a pretty nice vehicle, certainly looks like its been looked after from the photos. Be prepared for the value to drop when 15 year vehicles start to become more common as these are obtained pretty cheaply now (well under 10k for the dodgy lookin ones). But none of us buy cars as investments, theyre for driving! So we expect values to drop anyway

Also make sure you check out the price on insurance before buying. Factor it in to your costs.

If it is a GTS4 is it worth more then a GTS-T? Im 100% sure he said it was 4wd. Maybe its been converted or rebadged? Im going to look at it tomorrow morning so ill know for sure then

Does this make it easier?.... all the other stuff was just there to fill space and sell the car...

So basically you're looking at a standard GTS-4 (if it's 4WD), new tyres (standard), and alarm (price an alarm system that you'd like), a stacker system (bout $400 easy) and a 2 month warranty

The warranty isn't gonna do anything unless something goes wrong in the first 2 mnths/3000 kms (not a lot of time)....

Go and look around at yard, on the net and see how much the cars selling for, price the accesorries (stacker + alarm)... see what else is out there (you'll find almost every other one out there has half those k's) and see what you think... spend about an hour surfing the net and then see if you want it.

It's all personal preference, i'm not trying to shoot you down or anything, just trying to make it a lil easier to make a decision....

My 1989 GTS4 has ABS (so, it's at least an option, may not be standard).

$12,500 sounds a pretty good price, but the auto is a waste of time (sports cars don't have autos, IMHO)

Yeah and my 93 GTS-T has ABS i was under the impression they all did???

I checked it out yesterday. Its got everything in the list but I thought about it and ive decided I want a 5 speed so if anyone in SA has and R32 or S14 for sale, please let me know.

Cheers,

Mike.

All GTS4's and GTR's have ABS. Without individual wheel speeds from the abs sensors the Attessa ain't gonna work too well if it don't know when the back wheels are turning faster than the fronts... (yes it will still work due to gforce sensors and tps/speed info etc, but not as good). ABS was optional on GTSt and seen it a few times on GTS (Type-S)'s as well.

Btw, if you do buy a R32 GTS4, check the sycro's in 4th, I've before they were a weak point and when my mate looked at buying one, everyone without fail had stuffed 4th gear syncro.... I dunno why....

[Guest RedLineGTR]

from the pics it looks like its in good nice...but pics are pics...the year is not to bad...but the km's depends what u think of them but for those km's u should make sure all the 100,000km checks and services were done..

[The Jester Of Oz]

Seems like a lot of kms for the years though. I recently got a 1992 R32 GTS-4 with 77000km on the clock, but the car yard was asking $20k for it.

Does anyone know more about this 4th gear problem in gts4's? Mine crunches on fast shifts from 3rd but not back from 5th to 4th

[usuckpoo]

169000kms....

Good chance that this car was already clocked on its way from japan to down under...

so it might have done 269000 kms for all you know.

So be prepared and set aside money for a rebuild....even at a geniune 169000kms....

[Dsturbd]

Had a gts-4 cut with 160ks and the one i just brought has 80ks on it ... both the same year ...

Have the manual gear 4 sale..

I think they have double syncro's on 2nd, 3rd but only single syncro on 1st, 4th and 5th. That's the way it feels when you drive one.

Edit: gearbox oil change will probably fix this!
