R32 Gtr Eng Issues

[Dave76]

I'm looking at getting a R32 Gtr and the one I'm looking at the owner says that number 1 cylinder has a comp of 120 and the rest has hi 140's it has no idle issues drives fine car is in very good condition.

I just want to know what your thoughts are on the compression issue.

If it's the worst case scenario I'm not overly bothered as I would pull the motor out and put in some forged pistons, rods and cams. And probably single turbo charger setup

Thanks Dave

Should be fine. Inspected the car?

[Dave76]

Do you mean that the motor should be ok with that compression

[Dave76]

Flying up to qld on the weekend to have a look. Any pointers what I should look for in regards to a R32 Gtr

if it did don't buy it, it's probably a GTS-T. Edited November 23, 2015 by mr skidz

What things should I look for when inspecting the car

[Hadouken]

Google

[niZmO_Man]

No different than any other used car. Check for panel damage, rust etc. Make sure the AWD and 4WS works properly, i.e. isn't broken.

[Dave76]

Is there a particular place in the R32's that rust starts

[Hadouken]

Everywhere

Look for rust around the rear wheel arches and jacking points. Rear window mouldings tend to persish and let water in, look under the spare wheel. Sideskirts and clip ons can hide rust as well. But yeah look everywhere.

Check to see if the chassis rails are square. If they look like pancakes like mine do steer clear.

[Hadouken]

makes for better aerodynamics

Mine even has the front pipe aero to match.

[mr skidz]

Get one with no motor, it's lighter less headaches and more reliable.
