deciding on gtr or gtst

[nemz]

thinking about buying an r32 gtr, or r32 gtst, concerned on the maintenance side of the gtr, could any one with r32 gtrs give me some advice on problems they have had with there cars, how much it's cost them on maintenance etc? thanks alot for you're help

[Morgs]

You dont want to know how much I've spent on mine over the past year and a bit, but one if you intend on rebuilding the motor at some stage....

Hey,

Don't have a 32 GTR myself, but i figure make sure you get any car cheacked out before buying buying it. If all comes back ok, then your choice on purchace, but i would suggest getting a full service and definatlly a Dyno, as you wouldn't know when the last time it would have had one.

Went through the same issues before buting my 33 GTS wasn't sure what to get, bought my mates GTS and took it to get dyno and it has Power FC and it was all over the shop!!

If your debating the RWD/4WD issue, go the 4WD cos in the GTR's it only takes a relay switch in cab for changing as you please. :headspin:

Whichever way you decide to go I would reccommend doing a full inspection including compression and leak down test. Sure it costs more, but will save you money in the long run.

Make sure it is done by a reputable place too. We have plenty of good workshops here in Sydney, so don't skimp on finding the right car.

im not a gtr owner, so can someone explain to me, if i bought a r32 gtr (lets pressume it A1 condition)

and i leave it stock, apart from exhaust and suspension.

what added costs would i encouter that i wouldnt normally with my 32 gtst?

also the car wouldnt be used for trackdays etc....

leon look after it and it will look after you i have spent on maintenance but nothing mechanically out of the ordinary. Biggest problem iv had was the clutch but thats all behind me now nothing a twin plate didnt fix .

rebuilding after blowing up 2 turbos instead of 1!

If u got lot of money to spend or have a stable job to support the GTR yes then go for it

or if u dont then dont get it get a GTST

im trying to make the same decision here, except i got 3 car choices - r32/s2-r33 gtst + r32 gtr

duno which way i should go. i need something that will fit this: everyday car - roomy - quick - looks nice - not bad on fuel consumption - no more than $21k (gtr would be imported for less).

unfortunately you will not be able to get a decent GTR imported and ON ROAD for less than 21K any more. also, GTR is not very economical (2.6lt TT lugging around 1500kgs), not very roomy either, but I wouldn't have any other car.

GTR! i've got a R33 Gts25t Series 2 but after running my modified gts against a friends DEAD STOCK GTR i was so embrassed that i only managed to match his performance (for a straight line) and i'm running 1.3bar of boost (18.85psi!)

go the GTR! you'll never regret it!

R32 GTR's in good nick are ok but there aren't many of those around.

Unless you have the money for insurance and engine rebuild, stick with a GTS-T.

RB26 engines are race orientated motors that from Japan especially will need some reasonable work on them at around 120-140,000 km due to poor servicing, gone through a few hands and been thrashed by everyone.

A good , genuine low km, Jap import with proven history will cost you over 30K these days.

Having said that, we have a client with an Oz delivered one with 230,000km on the clock and the engine is fine ( stand up rev 210 ).
