That was 1 of the most Educational , Informative & Detailed Descritive of the R32 I've ever heard !!!
Kudos Gary , Spectacular !!!
Glenn Takamine Thanks!
@@GTContent awesome car just ainr worth the prices people want for them.
Soooo much miss information!!!!
R32 is my dream car and I’m starting to do some searching on it and this video helped a lot! Thank you for the information!...... even tho I’m only 15 I still wanna try to get as much knowledge abt the car for when I purchase one in the future
Same here! I'm only 13, this is absolutely my dream car, and i want to learn about it as much as possible.
It's only 40k you'll get it in no time
@@reebok7317 Yeah, only 40k.
They 15k where I live
@@whimsical6 where do u live and is it the GTR or GTST version ur talking about 😂
Awesome job on this one! I never knew that there were so many versions of the R32. Your videos are always good.
Thanks!
10 years ago, i was given the chance to buy one of these babies. I declined, and have wanted one ever since...currently looking for a good example to covert, coress and treat correctly. GODZILLA :-)
It is never too late to own one :)
Just found this channel. Great info and so much better than click bait wikipedia surface info vids
Thanks! I have more on my channel 😉
First skyline video I've seen in awhile that actually taught me something I didn't already know. GREAT job! Thank you for the great content and wisdom!
incredible guide man, you deserve much more recognition
Very interesting. I will have to check my plate to see if my car had the optional airbag.
This is hands down the best video I've seen on all the differences on the R32s. Incredible job man.
Glad you liked it!
This was the most informative and useful video that I've seen by far!
Dear *Stig:* As others have already eloquently remarked, I am always astounded, awestruck and overwhelmed by the wealth of invaluable information you educate us with. This video, along with countless others (of yours) I have watched, clearly indicate the quality time dedicated to produce this for us and I want you to know that I thoroughly enjoyed it - especially how you edited your narration with the images you provided. *Because of you, Godzilla lives! Well-done! :)*
Really appreciate this comment. Thank you!
Great vid. Was time for me to reflect on when I had my Aussie delivered R32. Owned the car from 1993-2001. Regret very much selling it. Was pristine. Great memories :) BTW - new sub
This is my dream car, and after I get a R32, I’m thinking about getting a 35. Idk but it’s my dream and I hope to stick with it
Anakin Skywalker check out Montu Motors channel and website They can even import one they don’t have in stock and despite current situations, they are open for business. Good luck and don’t ever give up on your dream.
GREAT to see you include the Australian connection to the R32 GT-R!, something not often seen or heard when seeing videos about the R32. We were indeed the ONLY market outside of Japan to officially get the R32 and of course you acknowledge that it was in indeed 'Wheels' Australia magazine that coined the nickname 'Godzilla' - great to see.
Those red and yellow Winfield racing GT-R's (Fred Gibson team) were just soo dominant (there was also an all red GIO sponsored R32 GT-R team) and rumour has it, that Nissan in Japan didn't want these cars to go there to compete as they were so well developed they were afraid they would embarrass the local Japanese teams.
In Australia, the R32 GT-R's were given weights ballasts to try and even up the field but they didn't work. The local Holden Commodore racing teams and even the mighty Ford Siera Cosworth were simply no match for Godzilla. It all came to a head in 1992 during the big Bathurst 1,000 (km) race. The Winfield GT-R was leading the pack in the hands of Jim Richards and Mark Skaife.. then the rain came, lots of it..so much in fact that the race was stopped and called off several hours in. The lap that the race was red flagged, the GT-R crashed (along with many other vehicles). The second placed Ford that was still running thought he'd won the race...but he hadn't read the rules properly!. When the race is red flagged, the classification is based on where the cars where placed 2 laps before the red flag, giving the win to the Nissan GT-R. The crowd booed and hissed during podium presentations. the winning driver Jim Richards, was so disappointed and incensed at the crowd's disgraceful reaction he called them a " pack of arseholes"!..One of the most famous speeches in Australian motorsport history! After that race, it was decided to ban all turbo's from touring car racing.
Great info!
All very true, the winner after the red flag in any race though is from the last full lap before and not 2. I own an r32 gtr and it simply has no equal.
Well done, very thorough and helpful! Best R32 buyers guide I’ve seen yet.
Glad it was helpful!
Cant wait for you guys in American to start importing z tune, m spec, n1, nur, vspec2, r tune, s tune r34 gtr's, were lucky to have all of these cars available in Australia(btw there is about 5 ZTUNE registered to Australia)
No R32 had an Active-LSD. That was specifically an R33/R34 V-spec (and V-spec derivatives) feature.
Some people also say the ATTESA changed between versions, but that was just to recalibrate the DeltaVW gain function which is supposed to be 7kg-m/km/h, due to tire radius changing between versions.
PLEASE MAKE THESE TYPE OF VIDS FOR R33 AND R34
this has helped me, im not sure if im ever gonna get an R32 or an R34 but if I do, the first thing I would do is find out the problems of the car, make sure I get one thats in the best shape possible, make sure its completely imported and all set, give it a new rear bumper, change the color to a nice gloss blue, new parts for the car so it can take a bit of a beating, and give it a check up every month or 2 at a shop
Am saving this video for the day I buy a skyline.
There's a dream behind every single view of this video.
Fell in love with the R32 in 89 as a school kid.cool video.
I love the r32 AND the background music used at 1:08 is also my alarm sound.
this dude is a skyline connoisseur
I used to import them back in 1998 in australia and back then when they used to get them proffesionally checked before purchase 99% wouldnt pass.No joke.This one nissan mechanic said he hadnt seen a good r32 in 2 years.That was in 1998
The regulations changed in Australia to RAWS from the early days and were rather lax. To comply a gtr in the 1990’s cost far more and only good ones were imported. That was fine because resell in AU was $50k. Since the value declined in 2008 or so and now under RAWS, the quality dropped badly.
Great video and information.
A few additions if you are really looking for a R32 GTR.
Buy a good one pay a little more up front. As there are more importers everyday the supply is getting thin, many of the cheaper GTRs will have hidden issues that will need addressing or you fun will end quickly.
Finding low km stock cars are getting rarer, if you plan on major modifications find one that has had work done to it leave the stock ones for. Collectors.
There are some that are great looking and have lots of mods done do your research on the aftermarket work and parts, some are rare and pricey or no longer obtainable.
Have $3-5k in the bank for needed work it will turn up. I did coil overs, exhaust, fluids, clock, wipers, washer fluid pumps, ball joints, tie rods , and rebuild all 4 axels needed new cv boots.
I bought mine May of 2017 with 48k miles. It isn’t a true GTR beginning life as a GTS4 4 door in August of 1990. In 1995 it was converted to a GTR using a R33 RB26dett Motor and all parts from a vspec version, it also has R34 front suspension, a wide body conversion which includes the full GTR aluminum front end and N1 headlights, full repaint from jet silver to crystal white, a Reebok Skyline special interior ( nobody can find information on it) this is 4 door GTR interior seats, door panels, pedals, steering wheel, gauges. Also many Nismo parts, Instrument Cluster, rear suspension, gas cap. Wheels are Veil side 18x9 3 piece Andrews Racing, have and offer just on the rims $4k.A-spec tune to 400+ hp all for under $20k. Everything works on the car now and could be used as a daily driver.
I just got one myself as a first car and know nothing about it. You love to reach out and possibly learn a thing or two.
People use to say rx7s were unreliable but with advancements in material and cooling not to mention the support of mazda, these GTRs are gonna be some highly maintenance queens for sure. The cost is gonna be very high to maintain let alone the additional issues on resourcing parts. These issues wrap around mostly the engines flaws but that awd is gonna be a handful when electronics break. Nonetheless it is great to have the GTRs coming to stateside finally and seeming them around.
You are so thorough! Love your videos.
Thanks!
Appreciate the knowledge, I found it very educational
Great video. One thing though, the series 2 GT-R launched in August ‘91, not in 1992
great content ... learn so much i didn't know.
Thank you for watching!
Gary Do the R33 ...
I'm on the lookout for 1 ....
Glenn Takamine I've got one for sale. It's my personal one that I've had for 4 years now. I just finished an RB30 swap. Let me know if your serious.
James Thomas , how do I get in contact with You????
Extremely Interested !!!
Glenn Takamine message me on RUclips...80,000k firm. Check out my channel for the build first...
Don’t forget life jackets!
Kudos thank you very much for the video...a bit late to the scene and from across the pound. I am still saving for that illusive R32, hope to find one soon :-)
Holy shit I’m picking my 1991 one up in the morning. I’m so hype
Congrats on your purchase!
GT Content- In regards to the R32, it may also be beneficial to mention if a GTR may have the AWD light illuminated on the dash and what the possible fixes could be. I bled the hydraulic system on mine, replaced the relay, and the light still comes on.
Picking up my 32 today 🔥 it’s a gtst with the rb20
I watched your videos, luv em, very helpful and full of user friendly info . Now I own a pandem widebody r32 GTR. Gold top, steel turbines, tuned to go. :) I'm grateful.
Congrats on your purchase!
U are my main resources fot gtr 32-35..thnks bro
Great video! Can’t wait for the R33 one.
Really nice little video. Educational and spot on with all the facts. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this!
I’ll have to take notes so I can have the notes for when I buy the gtr I’m looking at.
I love the way he said spa Francorchamps 😂
This was fantastic, thank you for the great information. One of the best car buying guide videos I have seen.
Thanks for making this I can’t decide on a r32 or r35.
Joel Kumparak r35

Joel Kumparak please buy the r32, please
I would also look out for crushed chassis rails, very common on R32s
Very informational. Your content is awesome. No click bait or BS just information. Keep it up!
brent K Thanks!
I love the stock look of it but i hate the stock rims
I know I sound like a nerd but I wanted to point out that those serious 2 head lights are front a skyline r32 sedan
From*
I'm gonna get an r32 gtr Australian delivered version when I'm older.
SAINT GAMER yea, I said the same thing when I was 7, I’m 19 and still looking for the car. I’m in fort bliss Texas and all i need is one to pop on the market, it’s like 50k down here. Looking for one in the 15,000 or 20,000 range, a lot have been sold for that much here
Forget the australian delivered ones they are pure collectors items now. One sold for over 100k recently.
Great vid! I'll be linking this to other guys in my group that want an r32
Thanks Wendy! Spread the word😁
GTR Wendy I want a r34
i want an r32 but im worrying about the parts and repair parts if something goes bad. like even if i had alot of money for expensive parts, i just wouldnt find it
you forgot to mention the one problem the R32 gtr had:
Hitting guardrails
Awesome video man. Can’t wait to have an R32one day!
This is actually the best video ever!!!!
Awesome video man! Could you do an R32 GTS buyers guide too? I'll probably be in a position to afford one here soon so I'll start looking. I'll probably buy a good GTS instead of a cheaper GTR
Cody Clark you need any help man you can message me. I bought mine in July of 2017. There a lot of stuff that I knew before would’ve saved me some money down the road
Lix Ramirez Thanks bro! If I'm fortunate enough to start the hunt here soon I'll hit you up for sure. Has it been reliable so far?
Lix Ramirez Dude I just saw you're in Chatt too! If I start looking I'll definitely let you know
Cody Clark yea man mine has been reliable surprising. Just a few maintenance stuff but nothing big. Biggest thing I’ve done is changed my coil packs.
Lix Ramirez is it a GTS or GTR? I've seen a GTS that runs around East Brainerd
Very informative but couple of things seem incorrect but most seem right, i have a revision 3 32gtr
You're from Mass?! Awesome, man. I hope I see your GTR around one day.
Hey man. I’m around Chattanooga Tn and have a 92Skyline Gtst if you ever wanna come by and do a review
Awesome! I'll keep you in mind if I'm ever in the area.
Kevin Toyphommalath buy mine lol
I love the gtr but wouldn't buy one simply because driving left handed would get very old, I want a daily
Fantastic video man
wow didn't know there are other versions of the r32
Looking at an r32 gtr Nismo for 30k rn. This helps alot
Lol it turned out to be a rusted POS
Very informative guide , look forward to more content from you.
According to the thumbnail just check the right rear tire, front right rim and check the hood. Got it 🖒
Great and informative video!
Thanks!
You should do one of these videos for the R33. I'm considering getting one.
Working on it.
sick GTR shirt
I have one but I still need to learn to
I will have a 1994 Nissan R32 GT-R V.SpecII in due time! Thanks for the info
You can get skylines around here in Australia like you can get water lmaoo they’re like $4k-$15k aud
They are not talking about Skylines.....Try getting a GT-R for under $25K it will be a wreck. Good luck.
I can't wait for the R34 to hit 25 years so I can get my hands on of those machines. Don't know why I have a thing for the 34 variant, but to me that is the definition of engineering done right.
Agree! Love the R34 Skyline GTR. Unfortunately, other countries were lucky enough to import them before us and by the time it's our turn they will be $$$$$
I do plan on making a buyer's guide prior to that so people know what to look for.
32’s and 33’s are only like 20-30k for a decent example, 34’s probably gonna be 50k + or some crazy shit
I owned one years ago.used to import them.expensive to maintane.I know someone that does pre purchase inspections on these cars and he said he hasnt seen a good one in over 10 years
And now I know! Arigato my friend.
Great video
I suggested this on your previous video and I hate to be the irritating fan but can you please do a Car History on the Toyota Celica and it’s GT-FOUR variant please! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Pretty busy atm. I'll see what I can do.
Man I'd like to daily drive one (4 door preferrably) someday, and that in itself sounds ridiculous.
Where you live? I just bought one, 4 doors too. I'll pick you up if you in Virginia.
@@joelnelting5965 ay what's your insta man I would like to take you up on that
Once again well done on the video bro......
Yes this was super helpful I’ll share it for sure 👌🙏
Thank you! 🙏
There was a lot of good information in your video. However you didn’t mention which year or model to look for like you did in your GTR R35 video.. Regardless it was still very informative.
R32 was way ahead of its time, it’s like alien tech, hence the name Godzilla
damn this is my dream car of all. top of my personal list
Out of the five years they made the r32, which one would you say is the best. Included every factor.
Series 3
@@GTContent thank you so much.
You forgot the gts type m model of the r32 do a video on the one thanks
completely different car. Why cant people get this.....Ffs
Great Video, it gives me more knowledge about Skyline GTR, BTW do you have a same video about R33 and R34?
This is a nice video but I wanted to say you should try using a green screen at the start of the video.
Just found this while doing research, wondering where the R33 & R34 Buyers Guides are? This R32 video was greatly informational !!! Any timeline for next video's?
I have the R33 ready. Just need to record, edit, find images/videos and it's out (easier said than done).
@@GTContent Awesome, I can't wait
Wow, loved the video man! Great Work! :D
I like the ninth gen Skyline. Nobody really liked it and called it ugly unfortunately.
The R33 that debuted in 1995? Thats my favorite one! I think its the best looking out of all Skylines!
So glad i watched this video... Saved my self a huge financial mistake! now in 2020 with so many of these cars being imported people are really trying to sell you snake oil.
Thanks for the fantastic video.
Wow, great lesson! Thanks
Impossible to get one under 30k, before you could get them for 20-25k...
subbed, thanks for the info looking to make a purchase soon
This is so cool. Saw the MA Plates in the first clip of the base r32, you located in MA?
I am starting to think I will just get a GTST.. they seam more reliable. The Early RB26s had so many problems.. the 20 is older so its a little more proven. And is tough as shit. Not a power house.. but tough as hell.
Looks like I need to borrow some money from the bank to buy one in 2-3 years. Depending on how much I can save through the years and how much I take then. Away from my Seat 6K (hate this fucking shitbox) and go to much more reliable car (E46) and then saving the shit out.
Edit:
I forgot to say that this video is top notch and I gave it a thumbs up...
I decided I plan to buy an R32 within 2 months after I fully pay off my other car. Unfortunately I am not having much luck finding what I am looking for where I live.
Yes, they are rare if you are particular.
@@GTContent At this point I will take whatever R32 GTR there is regardless of year
@@Nighthawk_r33 That's probably the best route as the supply gets smaller.
As always great video. Where did you purchase the GTR shirt you're wearing? It's really nice.
Thanks! I got the shirt from a Nissan web store a few years ago. I'm not sure if they have them anymore.
thank you
Best car ever made, but ehy do the U.S need it, only right hand drive cars allowed in countries that drive on the left hand side of the road (cause i want them all)
good info man thanks
6:20 Halogen headlight can tell if it's No1 hahaha.
Great video! Thank you.
