I dig the old school 80mm Greddy boost gauge. I always rocked that type back in the day. Pretty clean car. Welcome to the formus!
You must have been looking at the NISMO GTR they had, this is just a regular GTR, they were only asking $25k for it.RainR32 wrote:It's a nice car, I was looking at it when I was shopping for a GT-R but they where asking $45k That was a bit too high for me.
My Bad lol But still very Nissan GTRCurt2000 wrote:You must have been looking at the NISMO GTR they had, this is just a regular GTR, they were only asking $25k for it.RainR32 wrote:It's a nice car, I was looking at it when I was shopping for a GT-R but they where asking $45k That was a bit too high for me.
Yeah it had like 17k miles on it, I believe it sold yesterday though.GSX-R35 wrote:That's a nice clean R32. If they really do also have a genuine Nismo for $45K then it should be a low-mileage, very clean example for that price. When I got mine my importer was keeping an eye on two that were expected to be sold at auction for around that price and this may have been one of them.
I'm not surprised by that - Nismos are in high demand right now and the prices are going up. I'm getting more and more glad as time goes by that I snagged mine while I had the chance lol. Congrats on joining the R32 owners club!Curt2000 wrote:

Thanks! The more I inspect mine the more surprised I am at how good of shape its in for being 25 years old.GSX-R35 wrote:I'm not surprised by that - Nismos are in high demand right now and the prices are going up.

I haven't done my stereo yet because I'm waiting until we strip the interior prior to respraying the whole car but I researched the required stuff quite a bit and according to the DIY's I read I bought the following:RainR32 wrote:Let me know what kit you used to installed your need headunit.

A Metra antenna diversity adapter - the R32 has two radio antennas so you'll need this.

A Metra Nissan 1984-1994 harness - if you check this link there's a review that specifically says someone used it to do an install on an R32:

Just need to pick out a single DIN head unit, speakers, and some Dynamat and once my respray is done my friend and I are gonna go to town
You don't have to go to Japan to get a good R32 that you can inspect first since there are plenty of importers offering landed cars already here in the States (and for less than $25K to boot). I bought my R32 as a landed car here in the States from International Vehicle Importers and got to test drive and inspect it in California before purchase. Of course, if you want to go to Japan I can't blame you - I've already got my R32 and been through Japan on layovers several times but want to do a proper trip myself.akumazeddo wrote:looking around to buy a nice R32 GT-R , finally saved up some money for it! but 25k for a regular one seems very high; although i do understand that
it would be very risky to buy one from japan direct and not see the unit firsthand.
my cuz and i are trying to contact companies from there. we are planning to head out to japan and check the auction out for ourselves. any
suggestions on where to start? once we do make a trip we want to make a log here and keep people informed on our experience. does anybody have any guys to recommend?
Phase9 has an office in Japan as well, should give him a shout!akumazeddo wrote:looking around to buy a nice R32 GT-R , finally saved up some money for it! but 25k for a regular one seems very high; although i do understand that

I left the EVC in standby so the turbos are only seeing stock boost levels. I'll be upgrading the injectors and MAFs then will probably just spring for a full stand alone. Target will be 400whp.RainR32 wrote:Nice I'm happy for you
I'm stilling waiting on my plates to come they had to send all my paperwork to the DMV main HQ.
Did you get her tune ? I'm taking my car to get tune on Monday and get something's done to run it right.
I'm running a HKS F-COM with Map, So I'm upgrading the injectors, if I hit 400whp I'm going to be happy for sureCurt2000 wrote:I left the EVC in standby so the turbos are only seeing stock boost levels.

I got the car done last night. I max out to where the OEM turbos are safe and I did not upgrade the injectors, So I made 375 AWHP on Cail 91OCT ( I wish we had good fuel out here )Curt2000 wrote:RainR32 wrote: Sounds good, I took my car to the tuner today, I should be getting it back later this week I hope it does well

I guess next up on Power mods are turbos, injectors and cams.
