Afaik the M-Spec come with the leather steering wheel similar to the GTR one. The black car appears to have the standard (like everyone else has been saying, non M-Spec) wheel, similar to the boring Silvia steering wheels.

Check out the gearshifts. The black car looks like it is plastic and the silver car has the M-Spec leather shifter.

As far as which one is 'better', if you can check out both in the flesh, do so. Cost out how much each car will cost to repair/replace/upgrade parts to what you want and take the cheaper of the two :(

Definitely agree with Pred, the silver car looks pretty tired and all the go-fast bits have been removed or are shagged. I wonder what the GTR bar for GTSt is worth? May be a consideration?

The 2nd one although lookin better has obviously lead a harder life by the look of it, grab the black one and spend some money to make her look better. R32 standard rims are only like $300ish with tyres and will make it look way better! Type M side skirts around $150 and bam it looks tha same as the grey cept better condition :mad:

Get the silver one. The km's arent to bad for such an old car. Silver looks awesome, the black one will just piss you by not being a Type-M when everyone elses is a type-m.

$2000 buys a fair bit of cleaning up, and i dare say you are getting it for damn cheap anyway. ($7-10k?) Thats almost half the price i paid for my r32 2 years ago...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Well after a lot thinking, moving back and forth, the deciding factor was the saving of $2000(which some will goto repairs etc.). So even tho its not as good of a car it looks like ill have to stick with the grey 1. Im only 17 and dont work that much so $2k for me is a lot of money. In my family i have a mechanic, auto elec and panel beater so labour to fix it wont cost me anything. Plus i dont want to spend much on eather car as i would rather save that money for a gtr.

So i guess this means the black 1 is up for sale ;) PM me if your interested.

the silver one might not have AM brakes, might just be red paint. Timing belts cost between 40-50 dollars but the labour can sometimes be expensive. But you said you had a mechanic in the family so it's probably ok. I'm going to change my timing belt when the car arrives, just for peace of mind.

black r32's look sweet. But I agree with Gordon, I suggest you wait till they are both here, then go over them both with a toothpick and make your decision. :P

Im not going to say exactly what i payed for the car but because i import them myself i save a lot of money. I was told i can get a whole new engine for under $1.5k so worst case i buy a new engine.

hes 17 years old...he simply cant save up and buy a r32 GTR or a r33. i was in the same situation. i had some money as was really interested in a r32 gtst. however, i wouldnt buy the first car that i looked at. i would look at a few more and see if you can get any better ones. my gtst ended up costing another $1000 to fix up before rego and after the car was land all up it was an extra $3000 or something to get on the road

i say, wait till both cars arrive, and decide then

i'd stay away from the first car if it has non-type-m brakes, 4 stud hubs. And drive both cars, see which one has tighter engine/gearbox/clutch etc. Also sometimes it's hard to tell from the pics how good the paintwork actually is. you may need to respray the grey one.

The rims on the first car look crap imo, even crapper if they are 4-stud coz you'll have trouble finding decent rims because most of the good stuff is 5-stud only.

If you post the cars vin numbers (HCR32-XXXXXX) i'll look them up in fast for you.

Jan	Special Edition 60th anniversary of Nissan's foundation commemoration vehicles released:

 GTS-t Type M 60th Anniversary (2 Door)

Rezzeh, the significance of that is that the 60th Anniversary Type M was released in 1993, not the regular Type M, which was a higher spec package on a regular GTSt from day one.

Updated thread so confusion is avoided.

Actually, both cars are really not worth the money mate. The mileage is very very high. It is going to cost you lots of problems. Why don't you save up your money and get the R33? or the R32 GTR??

What? Most R32 GTSTs that have been in the country a few years are now up around the 150,000 to 200,000kms and to the best of my knowledge they dont have any major problems.

Problems , No. Maintenance, yes. The only thing that has failed on my car in just under 5 years of ownership is the alternator. Torn boots and rubber etc need replacing but they are the sort of things you can schedule/budget to fix whilst you are driving the cars in the meantime:)

They are expensive cars to own, fuel/rego/insurance/maintenance etc, but they are not problematic cars, even with high kms

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
