Nowadays finding a good R32 GT-R is becoming increasingly hard as time takes it's toll and so few owners give these cars the care they deserve. Destined to become one of Japan's most prized classic cars the good well looked after rust free chassis examples are strenghtening in price as collectors continue to realise truly well looked after examples are becoming a rare breed. This example has been beautifully preserved and improved. In addition to other tuning it's been treated to an expensive change from Grey metallic to Bayside blue which works beautifully in combination with a genuine Trust Gracer bodykit and 18" RAYS 2 piece alloys. Examples as well prepared as this are hard to find nowadays.Performance improvements: Power cosmetics have been improved for enhanced but sensible road use. Stage 1 tuning has been completed by Impul with a ROM ECU upgrade running boost at a safe 0.9 bar. A KN (M's) induction kit is also fitted. Exhaust is an HKS Hiper Muffler in good condition. This has both a mid oval silencer and a straight type at the exit so it’s unrestrictive, sporty, but not too loud. Also fitted are a Nismo billet oil filler cap Nismo 1.3 Bar radiator cap. Just basic stage 1 tuning which means the engine has plenty of trouble-free life to give.
Suspension improvements: Tokiko dampers with lowering springs have replaced original dampers springs. These provide an improved sports ride for road use, without being uncomfortable. A Mine's aluminium strut bar has also been fitted at the front. This GT-R makes around 370 bhp (@ 0.9 bar) with improved handling. Suspension is firmer than standard, but well controlled – driving the car over a bumpy country road it felt comfortable but compliant.
Cosmetic improvements: Wheels are original RAYS 18" centre lock design (To mimic Group A cars) in unmarked condition, with near new sports tyres of size 245/40R18. 17 Hex sports wheel nuts are also fitted, but not visible of course. Front calipers were changed to red colour by the previous owner. Note the genuine Nismo bumper ducts desirable N1 headlights. These have been converted to LED for both Hi Lo beam. White LED back-lighting has also been retro fitted to all the instruments. A Nismo black duracon shift knob Nardi leather steering wheel with HICAS Atessa boss are also fitted. Audio consists of a Kenwood CD/Radio of 200W power. This is is un-tested and supplied free of charge with this car. A sports type cigar lighter is included we have also fitted a brand new full set of Nismo floor mats. Note that rear windows are factory tinted (Privacy glass).
Further Improvements available: Although this car needs nothing added, if wanted, there's still more things thenew owner can do to personalise for his own GT-R perfection (We're here to help!). R32's look particularly good with full Nismo body options and as this example already comes with most of them we can supply side spats to complete the set - colour coded and fitted, quite inexpensively. If intending to improve performance, we can supply all manner of tuning parts from a simple Power FC ECU upgrade with injectors, fuel pump FPR right through to inexpensive upgraded twin turbos, brake improvements, etc. To further modernise the looks of this car, R35 GT-R rear badge, Newera orange Crystal/clear/smoked front indicators, LED Tail lights and interior improvements such as original Nissan pedal covers, etc. are all available, We can also supply wilder parts like Abflug front and rear carbon diffusers (WIth free shipping if supplied with this car). All available tuning parts for BNR32 available throughout Japan can be sourced supplied at discount from www.neweraparts.com
Standard equipment includes: ABS, Hicas 4 wheel steering, Atessa 4WD, Climate Control A/C, PAS, Central Locking, rear wiper, sports velour seats, etc. This car has evidently been fastidiously maintained. The engine bay, interior, carpets, indicator stalk, pedal rubbers, oil pressure, etc.- all indicate low wear and no abuse. Note that wheels have been religiously cleaned and kept free of scratches on the edges. Always a good sign!
Interior condition: From nearly 20 years of age the interior is in good condition, but as can be expected it's not perfect. As with most 32’s, the seat (Passenger side) has faded from UV light. The Recaro driver's seat whilst in good condition on visible parts has a damaged rear backing. If desired we can source fit another Recaro (Used) or even two, so they're matching - also an inexpensive possibility whilst the car's in Japan.We found only minor bodywork faults as follows: On the front driver's side fender there's a paint chip that's been touched in. This is too small to require repair, but mentioned to give a complete report. There is a small pin dent on the passenger front fender. On the rear quarter panel (passenger side) there's a small bubble of rust beginning to form. The pin dent will be professionally removed and the rear quarter will be professionally repaired at RK Tuning's chosen bodyshop so corrosion is removed. Note there is no corrosion on the underside of the car at all (See underside picture).
Engine Test Drive: After careful warming and extensive checks we took this car out to test can confirm it drives very well! It's got strong power and all signs of a well maintained car. Excellent oil pressure (( nearly 6kg/cm2 cold 2.5 kg/m2 when warm) at idle shows this is an engine in good health. Engine has absolutely no signs of wear, it's super smooth too. Clutch feels as if it's got plenty of life the gearbox is notably smooth and lacking in any of the often found signs of synchromesh wear found on these cars. We found no faults to report at all. Car pulls strongly from just under 3,000 rpm with power climbing all the way through the power range and is making approximately 370 bhp. The tightness of it's feel and care / money lavished on it suggests this car was used as a weekend toy and has never been on a circuit.
Make no mistake - this is one of the best R32's we're likely to have this year (We only select the best for stock). Prices of top examples in Japan have already strengthened, so we're unlikely to find many more good examples like this in 2012.
UK Includes all costs such as conversions, minor paintwork repair to rear quarter pin dent removal (See pictures and comments on slideshow), valeting, road tax and new MOT (required for registration) with 12 months comprehensive warranty.
