I've been around a few r32 gtr's. From clean minty to beat to hell.

It's a 25 year old sports car. Expect shit to go wrong. Stay away from anything 89 to early 92. The early generation of rb26dett had the oil pump crank collar issue where only a tiny footprint of the crank was responsible for turning the oil pump. Late 92+ cars had this issue addressed with enlarging the area where the crankshaft makes contact with the oil pump to give more strength and less wear. That's the major issue with the r32 or rather earlier production cars.

Expect to pay a lot for one in excellent condition. I wouldn't look at anything lesser. Again, this is a 25 year old sports car you're talking about. Expect them all to have had a hard life unless you're looking at something grade 3-4 with low mileage.

They're pretty solid cars though. You might want to think about parts availability though. This reason alone is what keeps me away from these cars.
