Buys a Gtr complains about 100$ stuff ....

Had my GTR a year and never had any issues. Plenty of after market parts available you just have to look for them.... but that's half the fun

The fuck are you on about? I've had mine for 4 years. Drags and track on occasion. Put on 100km on the clock since I bought it and had 0 things breaking. Service it and enjoy it Do some research. If you bought a lemon that's another thing

This guy is a BMW driver!

I was always told…..if you can’t afford it, you won’t enjoy it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Don't listen to this guy, his bought a lemon of a GTR not all GTRs are like this! They are absolutely not delicate cars, buy a good one and they are amazing!! Build it right and they are reliable, I've owned a gtr for 12yrs if you want to learn about GTRs speak to Australians do not listen to Americans, they know jack shit about them

half the video was "I didn't think it would be this expensive" that's why you do research beforehand, doesn't matter if dream car or daily

Take a shot after every “it’s ahead of it’s time”

Crazy. Didn't watch his videos for a year because I'm to busy with school. He got a skyline already. So proud

Mate I don’t think you should deserve to own such a car. The car was made in 1989 and makes 250hp. Guys like your self expect the car to make double that power without anything breaking. The car is tired it’s not Brand new. It’s probably been raced and abused many times before it Got into your hands. If you want it To be reliable on a budget then sell then car or Keep it stock simple

I daily mine for 7 years took it to track beat the shit out of it and never really broke anything on it. But then again i have modified pretty much everything on it over the years but its been super reliable.

Im always nervous on getting older cars and cost involved and things just break but I'm still going to try. You only live once but try to chase your dreams are always worth it.

True on all counts. I had one for a short while and honestly I made a lot of sacrifices to buy it and it was a dream come true to get it. Mine behaved sometimes but likewise almost every other trip was plagued with some issue. Attesa and hicas were I think both intermittently problematic on mine, when cornering even at low speed and especially in the wet if either system decided it wanted to play up it stops your heart, it'd snatch at the steering and pull wherever it pleased even with light throttle. Combined with the tram-lining and occasional bumpsteer I had started to lose confidence in it. I doubt they are all like that but it was enough to put me off them for good.

I've been an R32 GTR owner for over 10 years now and I agree on most points but where you are wrong is the aftermarket support. Here in Australia there are a TON of aftermarket support because the RB and R chassis are so popular here.

you clearly got one either: not maintained or just chopped.. i have a 1990 with HICAS delete and built motor.. all GReddy bolts-ons, etc.. never had a single problem. and i feel plenty "cool" someone approaches me every single time i drive it and asks for pictures. places like Terra Firma, raw brokerage, RHD Japan, NENGUN all provide plenty of aftermarket support.. true you can't get shit from AutoZone the same day, but if you can wait, there's plenty of parts. your complaints are anecdotal at best and i hope ppl dont actually listen to your cries.. RBs were one of the best motors built and if you get a sorted car and know enough to maintain it - you wont have problems.

Yeah I don't really care about hp, speed or stance. Pretty sure if I take care of the car it won't break like you said. Sure its gonna need new everything but I'm pretty sure its a owner issue

I'm grateful you made this video. I've been considering one the last couple of weeks and you're right, not many people talk about what it's like to truly own one. It seems like it could end up being one of those "don't meet your heroes" situations for me, so I'm still on the fence but at least I am opening my eyes BEFORE the purchase.

Based on everything you’ve stated would you still chase after this car if you had to go back an consider doing it again?

i think its because you bought a flogged out r32 and probably dont know how to take care of it

I love in Canada Qc I have had one skyline r32 since 2008 if I have a tip to share is to treat against rust I know that almost no one wants oil under their gtr This is the reason why several skyline starts to rust, even see very serious damage I had done a minimum of treatment in 2008 is this year I had to repair the beginnings of rust under the side skirt Nothing serious but superficial at this point my car is a perfect example of a very well maintained car my hicas system works very well you should know how to check it is simple to press the brakes repeatedly turn the steering wheel from left to right to engage the test mode but hey I'll let you better tame the beast for me it's done I know my car well

Spent 10grand on rebuilding the engine. This is not for a child’s budget. You have to have grown man money

Its a old car I currently own a gtr r32 and it gives me no problems I drive it everyday day,but like another comment if u buy cheap ebay parts be prepared to always buy parts over and over again,sell the car its not for u.

Thank you! I like to hear about the reality of owning this car

An example of how hard to get and expensive parts are for this car. I needed a Front windshield for mine. I special ordered direct from Nissan Japan, 1 of only 2 Available OEM color options , OE bronze tinted, or OE greenish tint. I ordered the Bronze for $900!!! It came in cracked on arrival, turns out the spec of the glass is thin and easily cracks from that era. That was the last bronze they had as NOS (New old stock), so i had to settle for the green tint, which came in unscathed. It took 3 months of waiting.

I'm getting one built would it still be reliable considering its being built from nearly scratch

Notifications gang. That’s my dream car 😍

Was thinking about getting an r32 but really glad I went with a 2GR FE swapped mr2 sw20. Cars a beast and looks real similar to r32 in terms of body lines and styling. But I love my mr2 plus it has the pop up’s ;)

If you are going to buy a 90’s GTR make sure you import one through a legit dealer because they get almost stock GTR’s and clean cars, they do due inspections on them from looking for rust to even doing maintenance on them like water pumps or timing jobs…. Spend the extra money to get a well taken care of car instead of going cheap and buying one that’s been beat up

I still want one despite the financial downsides to owning one still is a MUST in any JDM car collection period.

I’m still getting it , she’ll for church on sundays

Thanks for the reality check 👍👍👍

Question, did you tune it

Thank you for keeping it real. Although despite all that, would still love to own one someday. It pays to be a boss🤷🏾‍♂️

Great video

Im from Australia and couldn’t disagree with you more. When the RBs are maintained like other engines they are super reliable. As for the parts the rest of the guys that know these cars know the sites to buy from. No performance cars out there are cheap. The Japanese tuners and Aussies know the truth about these engines and what’s involved.

Thanks for this bro haha

Yes sirrrrrr noti gang 🔥🔥

Realiable and much power are two things that do not go together

Why are the bushings so expensive. I just took apart my 98 4runner and pressed in some poly bushings myself into the front and rear suspension... it cost me 200$ and a couple days of labor to do it myself. Truck rides like a dream now. Do they not make nice aftermarket poly bushings for the car?! It really shouldn’t cost you 10 grand for some rubber bushings....?

What is the measurements of your skyline r32 moonroof? I want to purchase one...

"There is no aftermarket support!" For the number one tuner car in the world, ever. Right.

No one told me I’d have to learn stick !

Lol thanks for the honesty man! Was thinking about getting one and you may have just talked me out of it

can you 3d print the clips?

“GT-R Tax” has been around since the 80’s bro, and the R35 was like inflation on that…. Then actual inflation hits and here we are….

does it break like a subaru

Looking to get a skyline...I live in phoenix. Can someone point me in the right direction?

How reliable is imporing from japan?

How do you know it wasn’t the previous owner that just beat on it?

I Beat mine up every weekend for two years and never broke anything. The best aftermarket parts for any affordable car. Had an R35 for 3 years before can't compare, 32 better. That blue and those rims yikes lol Such a rewarding and beautiful masterpiece the R32 is done right.

I mean… I’ve known several people with them. One ran perfectly all the time. But then again that guy worked on cars his whole life so he did the work all himself.

omg everything you said in this video is so fucking Accurate. I literally had to pause the video after every line you said rewatch cuz its so freaking accurate. Every single pin point detail.

That nissan is beautiful 😍

It’s cuz you have Braum seats that’s why you don’t fit. They sit so high for no reason. If you get any bride seats you’ll fit just fine.

This guy really aint a car guy... hes a pretty boy.

I’d be happy to take it off you. I’ll even pick it up - and I’m in Australia

Side skirts?

Phone is officially the measurement for car height!

U lost me when u said it doesn't feel special or that there isn't alot of room inside also I'm an owner of an r32 gtr

Those rims are fantastic

Seems like you're being cheap there bro.

What do you daily now?

Idk bro I’ve had my R33 GTR almost 3 years now and it’s just as reliable as any 90’s Japanese car. I drive it every week. Unless you cheaped out and got an R title or one that was beat on, they’re very reliable cars granted you maintain them properly. I do agree they can add up, but again, that’s usually only the case if they’re neglected. And you said it doesn’t feel special. Maybe because you’ve modified yours with cheap eBay looking body parts typically found on GTST’s and base model drift missiles. In the proper OEM GTR form (or lightly and tastefully modified), a GTR of any generation will turn heads everywhere you go. But you’re replacing the signature GTR parts with ill fitting generic base model parts that makes it look like a beater. You said they’re not fast, which in stock form in 2023, you’re correct. But the reason people buy these cars is because with very basic supporting modifications, an RB26 on stock internals will push close to 600hp reliably. If I was in your shoes, I would’ve left the appearance as close to stock as possible, and simply spent all the money you spent on wheels/tires/paint/body on a well tuned single turbo setup with a properly sorted motor. And instead of a troublesome car with side skirts that barely fit, you’d have a well sorted 500hp rocket. But to each their own

the r33 gts-t i bought is pretty much the complete opposite previous owner built every nook and cranny suspension and fully built motor everything was already aftermarket 😂

What about a gts??

"Feels like a nissan sentra" ... bro. U are delirious! I don't know what are ur expections from an R32 GT-R but those words are nonsense. I own 2' Evo's ( 8 & 9) , S2k/Ap2, S13, & 95' FD3s. Trust me all are have their character in their own way.

had mine 12 years i have a 92 bnr32 watch leakage from attessa assembly mostly lmaop the rest isnt to bad if have part sources thats the "money " issue per se however depends on your location some stuff gotta be in person acquired these days. we got gtr ogs we gotta expect pricey parts if you dont got sources because they are now niche market and becoming mpre rare. furthermore rb26 is a touchy powerplant to work from consider "supporting mods " in tandem with "goal" mods mine is a t2k 1487 demon now but i swapped rb30 etc for obvious issues such as minimum wall thickness specs on cylinder housimgs for starters if you wanna cruise not compete obtain part sources and get deeper knowledge of supporting mods its not a honda we cant simply go 88mm turb without proper "defemse" for added pressure HEAT etc

If you wanna cheat you can always see what u can salvage off of 240's or 300zx somethings are interchangable from my experience owning a R33

You just saved me $50. Thanks buddy

I bought a Mazda Rx-8 which didnt get the love from all the previous owners. And Man it breaks & also Police pulls me in almost every signal. Im from Bangladesh where cars are so damn expensive. I kinda regret buying an old car man.

My bubble has been popped

why own one then! if you find it so inconvenient ! it doesnt break if you havent bought one that isnt a pos to start off. you just dont seem like an r32 gtr enthusiest.

Thanks for the info bro I own a R34 GTR and I know what you mean about price for parts To be honest thou it did look like you did it on the cheap ay especially using the wrong clips For an example

the thing is all the kids dont realize is these are old as fuck, which also means they are slow as fuck haha. they dont come with 800 hp and it cost alot to get them anywhere near fast compared to todays cars.

I’m not sure I understand, if I spent more than 100k+ on a car I’d be expecting to spend this kind of money too, unless you’re suggesting you thought a 30 year old sports car is gonna be butt cheap???

my r32 trunk rattles harder than japan during an earthquake also my bank account hates me

i feel like this is a R32 problem more than anything...I have a R33 and have had no issues for 2+ years

Im looking into buying a 93 R32 GT-R RB26

Dude you just dident know what a gtr was. It was a race car from the factory. Yeah, maintenance is a thing. But no aftermarket support? Really? Look at Australia. We have this car running over 2000hp, and they look like monsters.

I’m pre sure everyone’s dream car is a Nissan GT-R r34

Not car guy enough to tame Godzilla

I was....

appreiate the honoesty

Umm that not true ,I own r32 gtr never had this problem are u sure it a gtr not gtst ahahha ,there heaps of parts for this car man tbh. What the point of this video . You just make your self look like an idiot .

I still want it give me yours

Thanks i was about buy one. now. No moreee 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So basically if I got the money patients I’ll be good gotnit

He mustve got a lemon

I farted every time you said "Ahead of its time". I am now deflated and dont know how to fix myself. I am like an airless balloon.

I thinks Same with bmw e92/93 335i n54

Says that he will tell us stuff we don’t know… proceeds to tell us things everyone knows..

Hmmm...Ive owned my 93 R32 for 6 years and a GTR really shouldnt be breaking as much as he says his is

This guys never have a car older than 2017 😂😂

Sounds like you should sell it to me for 2k

got someone selling a R33 for 25k and I already have a car and kinda broke but I want it so bad

Stancing a gtr 😂. Wonders why it breaks consistently. Says parts are hard to get. Complains about prices. Complains about performance. Just a fan boy out of his depth really. On sell it. Go buy yourself a Honda.

Did he just reference a NISSAN SENTRA? In comparison to "fun"? Heading to find a sentra asap..lol

Try the C6 Z06 🙌🏾

If only you hit me up. I could’ve taken a ride to upGarage for you.

I had my 89 GTST send it, use it as daily. It's been good for me. MAAAAAYYBBEEE fix your car well in the first place? lol Also If you want to complain after buying 30years old car, Maybe stick with new boring cars.
