R32 - Black Engine Bay White Car ??

Hi guys,

Sort of new to this whole GTR scene, looking at a white R32 GTR to purchase, however the bay is painted black, the owner is telling me all white r32 gtr's came out with black engine bays?

Is this true or in some cases may be true?

Thanks

Find the blue plate in the engine bay.  It will have a code on it for the colour of the car.

BNR32
#KH2 - Gun Grey Metallic
#KG1 - Jet Silver Metallic
#TH1 - Dark Blue Pearl
#AH3 - Read Pearl Metallic
#732 - Black Pearl Metallic
#326 - Cristal White
#KL0 - Spark Silver Metallic
#BL0 - Greyish Blue Pearl (special order)
#AN0 - Wine Red

Chances are it is a pre1992 car that was once gun metal grey and it has been painted white.

It could be they painted the car....or it could be that they painted the engine bay [brake fluid, fire, etc], I'm not there, you would have to make that call.

Its not actually that uncommon to find the earlier 32's painted white.  For some reason Nissan didn't start making white R32 GTRs until about half way through the model cycle.  So its not as uncommon as you might think to find a GMG (And shitloads of them were GMG) car painted white.  Painting the engine bay is engine out and a pain in the ar$e so it as often as not doesn't get done.

Ofcourse the driver for repainting the car will often be that it was in a bingle - so have a good look.

White cars have white engine bays..........Not negotiable.
