Hi guys,

I'm looking to purchase a R32 - specifically this one: http://www.carsales....Location_String

Does anyone know anything about it/the owner? & Would anyone be willing to come check it out with me...because i'm a total noob when it come's to skylines. I've grown up restoring & racing old Fiats (Insert joke about old Fiat's here) So not really savvy to common problems etc..

Being a P plater (Green's- till november) I thought this one would be perfect, as I can put the old engine back in..

Thanks!!

LS

Green P plates = no mods ?, a 25 in it may be a legal/RTA problem mate.

Yeah not sure, I would hazard a guess saying it's not engineered. Most likely if I did buy it and get defected - i'd get it engineered (at a cost :( )

*Edit - mlr, have you ever been to motorkana's with SSCC? I live around the corner from the president of SSCC..I believe.

Personally I would wait till your on your full licence, and then get something else, why was the motor changed ?, lots of bargains out there if your willing to wait and then low ball some sellers.<BR><BR>Its a buyers market out there with the new laws for turbo cars. <BR><BR>No khanas with SSCC yet, ones coming up at the creek but Im not sure if Im available, stupid work.

See, I would. But currently my Fiat X19 has blown its head gasket - so i'm taking that opportunity to completely rebuild the engine, and I work fulltime in ultimo - at the moment am driving my parents honda CRV there every day , plus they don't want 120k a day added onto its mileage..- I need my own reliable daily driver. Because honestly, the Fiat will never be reliable! The fiat club of nsw has motorkanas - SSCC has attended them several times the last 2 or so years!

Nah, I want something I can enjoy for the rest of the time - hence going after a skyline, if I wanted something just to run around in then I would get a 4cyl toyota or pulsar or something.

Pics!

And Yes Tony, whilst the head is off, a few hp additions will happen..I've had a ride in a Delta Integrale...wow.

There are certainly exceptions out there but I wouldn't buy a Skyline of that age that's already been tampered with if you want a reliable daily driver :)

If you do decide to go ahead, could get a workshop to go over it and give it a thorough check?

That was my plan - hence asking someone here to come along, so if they notice something right away, they can tell me don't do it , and save the money of an inspection.

Do non turbo r32's come up often?

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
