I just personally prefer the 32 - it was the car that dominated Bathurst, and I prefer

the way they look... even if a little dated.

I'll avoid this V spec though.

You can get R33 GTR's for 20k in good nick.

Why would you waste time paying more for a R32?

Top Secret Imports are trying to get a couple of good quality R32 GT-Rs in for the 21st Anniversary.

Perhaps you can call them and see what's in the offing. 9676 1023.

They've been looking; but there are none worthy on the auction system atm.

I'd still call them though to see if you can be short-listed to reserve one.

Otherwise keep checking with Northshore Prestige and Nagoya Motors too.

I just took the V spec for a drive out or curiosity.

It's certainly not pristine, its taken a whack under the drivers side sill, and there's respray in that area, so its been like that for a while.

There was also water in the boot around the spare wheel well.

It seems to drive quite well, but the clutch action is right up top, so it's on it's way out, and smelled quite a bit.

I'd say it's a $15k car riding on it's V Spec badge to fetch a higher than deserved price.

This was just a quick assessment, I dare say a qualified inspector would have a field day.

The guys working there seemed genuine enough and not pushy, the condition of the car just spoke for itself.

Every standard color was available in V-spec II, the pop rivets holding the build plate on look mighty strange too...

that is exactly how they normally look. they are a type of tamper proof rivet.

Not that I would ever have doubted the Baron, but turns out mine has those too!!! Statement withdrawn, they look perfectly normal

Ha, ok mate, good to know, because I often like to take on GT-Rs in my shitty Honda Civic :worship:

Good that you drove it...

My old R32 resides in NSW somewhere now. So, if you see a GMG R32 GTR that looks stock as a rock with WA plates, don't race cause you'll lose lol.

No mate, not off them, I think they're awesome, the R32 GT-R is a modern classic, but I've learned finding one is

going to take longer than a week and I really didn't know what to look for when I began. I'm in no rush, so I'll keep

an eye on this forum and on the used car websites.

I haven't ruled out an R34 either but I'd need to save for a good while longer... A gooood while longer.

The one I drove today is the first one I've driven, it was completely stock, and without doubt the fastest car

I've personally ever driven, so I cant imagine what a modded one would feel like!

lol

heard of a Dr Ron Laura? Hes got mostly BMWs and Euros and tracks them with his son in NSW.

Staying on topic, are you definitely off all GTRs now? :D

Go test drive a well modded one.. lol

  • 1 month later...
If you drive i modded one, I don't think you will go back to a stock car because it will feel like driving a 4 cylinder Camry. :)

This is so true. I go in a stock one thesedays and I really have to check the throttle is nailed

    • I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
