So I found a 4 Door Skyline R32 GTS-T for sale, and was wondering what these are worth, or what is special about them. Let me know.

Also, the guy says it needs ignition coils, and he has them coming in the mail. Will the car run when I go look at it? (probably a stupid question) I'm guessing no, and also, how hard are these to install? Thanks.

the only thing special about it is the two extra doors. Other than that it is the same car. Don't buy it if it doesn't run. If it takes a month to fix it wait. Make the current owner fix the problem before you buy.

It apperently has a bunch of IMPUL aftermarket stuff, full factory bodykit all stamped with the word impul, and says impul instead of skyline on the back. I found out it is not saftied and needs a horn button to be. and he just got new brakes rotors and just spent $2000 on a front mount. But he wants $10 000 CDN (which isn't bad), but is still out of my price range. I found a 240SX done up exactly what I was gonna do with mine for $3200, so I might buy this and put the extra money into it. But he said it was also #82 of only 200 made in the 89 model year, true?

I guess I forgot to mention it had the IMPUL kit on it.

you know your market, use your judgement. If it feels right go for it. Impul stuff was and is stupid expensive so that adds value.

The R32 GTS-T is a RWD RB20DET .

The GTS-T4 is AWD with RB25DET.

The RB26DETT is only used in the R32-R34 GT-R and, of course all R32-R35 GT-Rs are AWD[ATTESSA].

GTS-T is probably worth about $10K to $20K according to the 2 folks that I know have them.

The GTS-T is a nice automobile but significantly different than the GT-R.

The coils are the same on all of the RB2x motors and are notorious for getting hot and having intermitants on the secondary.

If you need some, I have a contact that has them for a reasonable price.

I have changed them on my Federalized R32 GT-R just once and they made a hellova difference.

Hope this helps.

Not 100% right the R32 GTS4 is an RB20DET the R33 one is an RB25DE.
