After selling my other auto 32 im now on the market for a manual.

EDIT:More Pics lower!!!

Car 2(R32 Grey)

  • m-spec
  • Very minor dints and scratches in rear
  • M-Spec Rims
  • Sideskirts
  • GTRish Frount bumper (missing lights, has a big gap where FMIC sits)
  • Aftermarket Breaks (not sure which 1's but they are red...)
  • Aftermarket suspension
  • 190,000km
  • Adjustable wing
  • MOMO Steering wheel
  • Stock headunit
  • Lowered (maybe...)
  • Exhaust
  • $2,000 Cheaper
  • No sunroof

Both have HICAS and both are 90 Models.

Now my worry with the Grey car is the 200,000km. Im not sure if im going to have to get the timing belt done again.Whats that going to cost me. The body work i can get fixed for about $500.

What do you guys think i should do.

Having had two R32’s one with a sunroof and one with out, both had coilovers (Teins in non sunroof and Apexi’s in the sunroof car) I myself would get the non-sunroof car. I found with mine the sunroof’d R32 flexed A LOT more under stress IE: mountain runs, drifting ect. And due to age the sunroofs tend to leak. In saying that though, the black car is cleaner and has less kay’s.

are you 100% sure they are both gtsts??? as in have seen them up close with bonnets up?? have any pics of under bonnets???

the black one dead set looks like a GTE, definatly not a type m.

go the grey one....for $2000 you could pick up another RB20, for another $1500 you could pick up an RB25 even. and you can go for a strap straight of the boat and enjoy it.. sounds good, looks good.. dont have to spend money on the basic straight up things...

the brakes look like the standard calipers, type m's had bigger better brakes. they may have just been painted red.

cheers

get the black fella..

Possible the rims have been swapped just with any old cheap crap they had sitting around to sell it off. Front bar same as the one that came on my GTS-T (crap for front mounts though)

The other one has been toyed with.. performance mods obviously removed. I bet you the rest of the car is in poorer state of maintenance as well.

Black is a bit of a bitch, but when dirty still looks nice and tough..

KM wouldn't worry about... OMG you might have actually got a couple of non-wound back cars.. because I think about 90% of 1989 cars have been from those figures to their magical 80-90k mark.

The top one is a (quite rare now) R32 GTS-t - not Type M - with optional factory alloys. The brakes on the black GTS-t are rubbish, especially for a turbo car. For this matter alone I'd go for the Silver GTS-t Type M (I've got one - see sig).

BUT - a couple of things:

**The Black car looks like it's in overall better condition. This is something you should really take into consideration, as R32's are getting long in the tooth now.

**The Silver car has the extra Type M goodies - 4-pot brakes, viscous LSD, GT-R style interior etc - but as with 99% of Type M's... it looks as though it's had a hard life. Expect to replace clutch, LSD, suspesion components; fix rusted out rear wheel arches (around the body kit), and other minor mechanical things.

Having said that, if you want to play it safe, go for the black car. If you don't mind fixing lots of stuff (but end up with a better car), go for the silver car.

M Spec only came out in 1993---> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=39145

(4 piston front brakes, 2 piston rears, super hicas, bigger factory turbo, grey face dash etc)

Noticed something strange...both of the drivers seats look like series1 r32 seats, yet the passenger seats and door trim look like velour (series2).

And i say depending on what qualities in a 32 you're after and what you're gonna be using it for/doing to it should help determine which one you want :(

Beeeep! Wrong.

The Type M was available from May 1989 to July 1993. I've PM'd funkymonkey to change his post.

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
