Anyone Seen This R32 Gtr?

[Uncustom]

Hey guys,

A friend of mine is looking to buy an R32 GTR. We live in Perth but are planning on going down to Dunsborough over the weekend to check this one out:

If anyone has seen this GTR before or knows anything about it, is it a good buy? The price is very fair given the work done to the car and the overall apparent condition of it. There will be a mechanic coming along to check it out too.

Cheers.

Don't know the car...

Owner posted this about it on Jap Car Parts for sale WA:

The motor came from a wrecked 33gtr and it's done around 20k, it's only been in this car for 3000ks
The gtr had done a big end when we brought it

Other obvious things - white engine bay / silver car, non original dash. Above info doesn't quit fit? Could easily be explained or just me mis-interpreting it.

Goodluck

Well it wouldnt be the first or the last GTR to have a Nismo speedo fitted, most of them have. Quite when it was fitted is a question that you doubtless wont get an answer to. Doesnt have to be an issue just accept that it hasnt done 73kms. Fits into the same mystery bag as nearly every other GTR then.

If the motor compression is good (number read well) and is straight then why not atlest consider it?

Also it is not unknown for silver GTR's to come with different colour engine bays ex factory.

Also looks to have some Cusco (?) coilovers in it. Will be laggy with those cams.

Cheers guys, going to go have a look at it tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. I have a 32 of my own and I know just how hard it is to find a decent example. Obviously it's going to be difficult to tell how hard of a life a car has had, even if it's presented well - You can only be so fussy with cars of this age lol.

Also about the engine bay colour, my 32 is silver and also has a different colour engine bay, slightly faded. It's normal as far as I'm aware

Learn something new... I've only had grey ones

I've never known nor heard of R32 GTR's having a different engine bay colour to the cars external from factory. Especially not a silver GTR with a white engine bay.

All the R32 GTR's I have seen have a flat colour the same as the external colour. Silver GTR's have a flat grey engine bay.

I could be proven wrong

Edit: That's not to say there is anything wrong with that GTR.

It looks tidy but you need to do a thorough check over.

Could be a white car repainted silver. Could be a rubbish camera. Could be stock

Check the blue build plate for the colour code.

Did you check out the car? How was it in the flesh?
