1989 Nissan Skyline GTR R32 from France - Comments

The r32 gtr is the best car all around, the girls just love it and I love the power a few major mods I can say I got 360kw at all 4x4 wheels, none of this rear wheel stuff I must say what fun you guys are missing out on... go out and get a gtr forget the v8's that's old tech. get a gtr and you will have the town talking about you.

Hi I've recently saved up to buy my own r32 gtr, I love driving and have been very interested in the skyline from a young age. I was wondering if anyone has advice on importing a skyline and recommending a reputable site.

Sumy.

Umm... yeah, I live in Colorado where it snows a lot and theres lots of ice... I saw the first review and I'm worried bout the cooling system. anyone know how a '89 skyline will handle out here? I'm worried I will spin out and hit something.

Nissan really did not muck around when they grabbed that blank sheet of paper and a copy of the Japanese Group-A rule book. Greatest car I have ever owned.

Proud September '89 Build R32 GTR owner!

Other cars will come and go, but I can't ever see myself selling this one... until I guess the missus really cracks it!!

My missus told me I was spending too much of my time and money on 'that machine' and said that one of us has to go...

I thought this over for a second and told her that we will both miss her.

I have recently bought a R32 GTR that was Nismo'd to about 450 HP on the wheels. I am having my doubts now though since

I paid a lot for this car (155 000 ZAR) and am not sure it is what I am looking for. Currently I own a Audi A3 (2002 Model) 1.8T and

a VW Golf pickup with an 2002 Audi S3 Turbo motor making 176Kw on the front wheels. Now... performance is pretty mindblowing on the pickup,

but I am looking for a lot more. Hence the choice of a GTR... did I mess up? I can be mailed at speedfreak-at-trancebunny-dot-co-dot-uk.

Thanks...

Is it true about the 89 series r32 gtrs, when people say they have stronger motors than the later models?? I've also heard that from 92-94 have an upgraded gearbox due to a lot of gearbox probs in the older gtrs??

The R35 will have a V8 Twin Turbo or the 450Z will be Faster.

450Z is 4WD.

I own a 92 R32 and a 95 R33 the R32 is the better car it is lighter and it handles better I is the Better car GO R32s.

Guys I'm in Australia and wanting to purchase an R32 GTR. In the Aus skyline forums there are a lot of R32 GTR's for sale, some of them having rebuilds and some of them needing rebuilds. Is it common for GTR motors to mess up and need a rebuild, because I love these cars and really want one, but I don't want to be paying money for a rebuild within the first year or two...

These are cars just like any other. Service them regularly, and they will service you regularly without problems! ;-)

In regards to the handling comments mentioned earlier, an R32 fitted with an ATTESSA controller (which retail for about $200-500 AUD) will put your R32 on par with the R33 and R34.

I have an 330hp R32 with standard rim/tyres/suspension and an ATTESSA controller and I CANNOT get it to break traction in pouring rain. How's that for great handling!

These cars are god-like!

Well I'm 20 years old, I'm from Australia, and I own 1993 r32 GTR n1, and it's the fastest I've ever been in my life. I've eating plenty of 33 and 34, and my dad owns an R32 GTR Tommy Kaira, 360hp on 9psi.

But they have the best handling out of all of them,

and far by the greatest GTR ever made.

GTRs are just splendid cars. My golly I love them hoo roo.

Hey guys! I was just wondering; I just reasonably bought a r32 GTR and there's these 2 fuel control thing inside my glove box on top of each other, the size of a turbo timer. If you're after some clue, can any one help me, & its work light comes on and everything.

One more thing, my car blows out grey smoke. Every one think it's coming from the turbo, but the car drives very well. Just heap of smoke on gears 4,5?? Do you reckon I should reset my computer cos it's never been tuned, or maybe it needs tuning? Is there any one that has these problems?
