R32 For sale

Hi guys, ive been looking to buy a 32gtr for a while now.. I'm in Victoria but I have found one interstate that id like to look into a little more. Just wondering if anyone has already inspected the car or has some extra info on it. This is the car in question

I haven't inspected it :(

However it looks genuine in the photos presented.

A few things have been added to it other than the exhaust.

Handbrake boot, aftermarket head unit, front shocks, strut brace, floor matts - nothing of importance really.

I like that it has the OEM wind deflectors, the c-pillar internal trims are intact.

Worth looking at.

$49k asking price I suppose is pretty good with the way 32's are going up in value over the last 12months.

One thing gets my goat in the description "neck breaking acceleration". If you've driven an OEM 32 it's stretch to describe it like that. Just the linear way in which they accelerate negates "neck breaking acceleration".

Would you drive it or park it is the question ;)

Heartbeat cars seem to target the lower mileage grade 4 cars.

I haven't seen the car but in the pictures it does look quite tidy.

I've looked at a few cars they have sold, some good some not so good.

It's advertised as having books and all relevant export documentation which is a must.

I think it has coilovers plus the other mods mentioned in the ad.

If you can negotiate a deal as closer to $45K you are doing well.

If you buy it, make sure you get them to bend the rules a bit and overlook the side guard blinkers in the compliancing .

When fitted aftermarket, they are really an eyesore and are rarely aligned to the GT badge.

Anyway, on face value, a nice car!

Bob.

Thanks for the info guys.. I did notice the suspension had been changed .. It has Ohlin shocks.

I guess that's just your typical salesmen talk sinista haha.. I haven't actually driven a stock one but yeah I cant imagine they'd be too quick. My plan would likely be to drive it.. I drive maybe 20km's a day so it would definitely be bought to enjoy until its eligible for REC REG atleast.

As you mentioned Bob its a grade 4 and does look to be in pretty good condition. I was assuming the compliancing would already be done but yeah thankfully they have left the side blinkers off. I imported a 32gtr a few years back and they left them off then thankfully.. they look terrible.

Preferably I want a white 32 so if you guys know of any please let me know but this looks to be worth a look.

I think Heartbeat have a White R32 V-spec for sale as well for $52k ??

I spoke to Heartbeat yesterday, obviously talks a bit of rubbish like all used car salesman but seemed ok to me.

I'm currently looking as well for an R32 but seems anything imported now is going to have something that requires fixing given age. km's etc and for the prices they are fetching its hard take that you may have to spend $$$ straight up when your already paying 40K plus

Why does it worry you djr81? From what I've seen they have all got paint flaking regardless off km's or have been resprayed at some stage?

There are a number of telltales for high kms.  I am not saying they apply to this car.  But they usually are warn seat, warn steering wheel, warn leather boots and paint off the plenum. As I said the car looks tip top but I would ask the bloke in the white leather shoes to see if he has an explanation.

The plenum paint is known to flake off anyway so isn't a reliable indicator.  It just stands out on such a tidy car is all. 

It may well be someone has had a go at removing it after a small amount flaked off.

Heartbeat had that V Spec 2 for 45-47k on facebook (cant remember exact price) and it was listed as sold in a few hours. Then it got listed again for 51.5k. This was a few months ago

maybe a poor attempt to jack up prices

I got my car from a guy who purchased his car off HeartBeat cars. Whilst I don't have any personal experience with them directly, the car speaks for itself and its immaculate, clean, straight rails, no rust etc etc.

I've been keeping a keen eye on prices and whilst good examples are pricey...at the end of the day you usually pay for what you get.

A R32 Vspec II with 50k kms on the clock for $30k AUD landed...is well quite frankly almost too good to be true.

What are people thoughts on a grade RA imports?

I was also considering a tidy example from Heartbear car - https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Nissan-Skyline-1994/OAG-AD-14565738/?Cr=3

I have received the de-registration papers to verify kilometers and the auction papers but was a little concerned spending up being on a grade RA.

What are peoples thoughts?

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
