just because a car has been for sale for a long time doesnt make it a lemon

my old 32 took 8months iirc to sell and it was an awesome car, i spent thousands on it but just didnt have people interested in a 32 sedan

Thats true.....its just something to note i guess.

He did originally price this car at $22,000, so he has since dropped it $4,000....now that could be because A) No attention, B) overpriced for its condition, C) He wants to sell it ASAP.

Guess you just have to check it out yourself and make your own mind up and if your serious about it, get a mechanic to take a look before you buy.

If i decide on getting a R32 GTR (contemplating getting a R33 instead), this will be the one i look at :).

they're about 4 streets from one of the best GT-R Workshops in the country (Racepace) so getting it checked out by someone who knows a GT-R inside out should be no problem mate - it's also walking distance from my shop so I can have a quick look at it in the showroom for you if you want :)

I don't see much R32 GTR around anymore on the street

even 32 GTST is getting less.

If you still can find a good one, should buy it.

My IMPUL only have 50K on the clock and I just have the engine rebuild from Racepace. I may only drive the car once a month around the block and always under car cover.

the next step I will going to strip the whole car, paint back to Calsonic Blue with full stickers and roll cage. I may put a 6 speed dog box. I really have no idea how much this car will worth

Was your car originally like that?

Mate, i owned a stock R32 many moons ago and all I did was spend spend and spend - get a modded car with plenty of history and care. Like the V-spec above (I havent seen that car but has some tasty mods and its a VspecII)... I bought a Racepace worked R33 that was immaculate for around 30k - the engine build and power support mods cost nearly that alone! GTR's are a bargain but it anything goes wrong expect to pay huge $$$$ to fix + maintenance isn't cheap... that said I LOVE my GTR!!!

If you're going to drive it hard start saving for an engine build too...

PS - Racepace inspection is a must for any purchase! Ideally you'd let them maintain it too...

That's my 2c for the day :)

    • I might have to say it.
    • Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
    • I remembered wrong, but was close though 1Kz setting because those Jaycar SSRs don't go any faster, 1x pump per SSR with flyback diodes & heatsinks. In saying that, the heatsinks are overkill. Just on an alloy plate is more than sufficient. You'll find without a flyback diode, your SSRs will heat up big time and also die prematurely.  I've been running the two same SSRs since the last motor, no issues, car does 2 hour straight drives in summer once in a while and gets punished on the track. Nothing melts, no hot messes, etc.    
    • Hmm. You're probably best off working out what the lobe centreline or even the LSA is for the stock cams, with VCT OFF. That's bound to be out there somewhere. Then, work on the assumption that the Kelford centreline is probably the same, and wouldn't be more than a couple of degrees away, if it is different at all. I'm very surprised that you needed to adjust the exhaust cam by 5° to get it on spec. That screams there's another problem somewhere. Anything from the belt being 1 tooth off (how many degrees is one tooth worth?) to simple user/measurement error on the degree wheel. I say this because Kelford, like most quality cam manufacturers these days, does a pretty good job of actually making the cams to spec, not relying on patching it up afterwards like we had to do back in the 80s.
    • Besides packing it, you can also fill your pump through the oil filter inlet port. After cranking for what felt like an eternity without pressure, i fed a tube in through there and filled it with oil. Cranked for a few seconds after that and had pressure.
