Hey all...

Cheers

There were some differences throughout the series, have a search through the forums, I cant remember them all off the top of my head.

EDIT: Below are the changes I can easily find

21/8/1989: R32 GTR released

22/2/1990: R32 GTR Nismo (Grp A base) released. No aircon, no audio, no abs and no rear wiper. Steel wheeled turbos not ceramic

7/1991: R32 GTR N1 released. Almost same as Nismo base but ceramic turbos and non projector headlight

20/8/1991: Minor change to production. Weight increased by 50kg due to side intrusion bars being installed from factory. Projector headlights improved. I am pretty sure there were some other changes around this time (to do with trim etc) but cannot find it.

2/1992: R32 GTR N1 revised with steel wheel turbos.

3/2/1993: Minor change to production. Clutch system changed from push type to pull type. Missions are improved.

ok.... Thanx mate

IM looking at a 89 GTR, and just wanted to see if its worth it or not...

But i spose a gtr is a GTR!!!!

[Amaru]

Yep, the only thing I can suggest is if its already in Australia, get it taken to a reputable mechanic for a check over and compression test. Get it fully checked out as all the steering and suspension components can cost a damn fortune if they need replacing etc. If its not already in Australia, well good luck

[SkyGTRline]

Cool....

Well its a guy that has been posting around a bit.

Dead stock GTR and engine has been rebuilt 11000km ago by japan peeps coz of AFM failure which caused engine to blow

Yall tell me what you think.

Give me honest opinions...

Thanx

[SkyGTRline]

Thing about it, is that its fully stock.... so i can build from that on how i want the car.

[Amaru]

With the problems he has listed on the car (failed airflow meter, rebuilt clutch master cylinder, exhaust leak, worn drivers seat) its more consistent with a 80 - 100,000km car in my opinion. But 99.8% of cars are wound back in Japan so that counts for dick.

See if you can get more photos from him, including engine bay pics and interior pics. As its already in AU, also spot the $400 or so to get it fully checked out before you buy it. $400 is some cheap insurance to make sure youre not buying a lemon.

All in all it looks good, and its still got the stock exhaust!!! Something I have never seen before. Get it checked out, if its all a-ok (there will probably be a few problems with cars that age) go for it

mate,check your pm.

[SkyGTRline]

Thanx mate...

What you mean by $400 check up...

He pay or i go up there and pay someone $400 to give it a check over.??

Also, its got Engine and interior pics in that link.

[Amaru]

You pay the $400 or so to get it checked out fully by a competent workshop around where he lives, or at least get NRMA to do compression test on it.

3/2/1993: Minor change to production. Clutch system changed from push type to pull type. Missions are improved.

If yr looking for someone to check out a car you intend to purchase, and you don't know who to get, NRMA will do it. Also look in the Trading Post, heaps of mechanics advertise this service in there.

Hope this helps............

What teh crap is so funny? Im just quoting directly from my fancy GTR backwards Japanese book

the 89's have increased in cost now. I can show you what a decent 89 GTR is like if you are around (pm me) - (as I imagine many others here can!) It is worth getting a good one in Aust. if you have the extra $$$ to spend, but keep in mind that even an Aussie one might go bang after you have bought it.

The extra $$$ you save by getting an earlier model means more for mods.

I don't think you will get a good 89 for the mid teens now.
