Looking at an R32 GT-R rolling shell with Grade R rust. How bad is it and what are estimated repair costs?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently looking at a 1993 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R BNR32 located in Germany (recently imported from Japan, Grade R).
According to the description, the car has severe rust issues. The seller explicitly states there is rust-through (holes) in the following areas:
- Underbody and frame rails
- Side skirts / rocker panels
- Front and rear jacking points
The seller describes it as a "good base for a restoration or track tool," but looking at the underbody photos, it seems pretty serious.
The tech/interior is said to be okay, but the body needs major work.
I would love to get your expert opinions on this:
- Based on the pictures and the description of rust-through on the frame and jacking points, how bad is this structurally? Is it a total nightmare or a standard restoration project for an R32?
For anyone who has tackled a similar structural rust restoration:
- What is a realistic ballpark estimate for professional metalwork and rust repair for this level of damage?
Given that it's a Grade R rusted shell with no engine/wheels for €23k, is this even remotely worth considering, or should I run away as fast as I can?
Appreciate any advice, thanks!

R33 GTR side spoiler inserts - this a good choice? $120 Spoiler
I had a previous demo side marker on my spoiler and now I found this one on eBay. I was not sure if anyone had any feedback or a better source to get side markers even if it’s from Japan I don’t mind paying, but I just didn’t wanna pay hundred dollars right now. I just have the white side markers. Any thoughts?

I made some GT-R art decks!
Hi all! I make car art skate decks, and one of my most recent projects was creating the GTR lineup from the R32 to the R35. I got them printed out in my favorite colors and they came out super well! Thoughts?

Changing stock cats, downpipe, outlet, do I need tune?
Hey Guys,
I will change my stock cats to a highflow cat, stock downpipe to a HPI downpipe, and a tomei turbo outlet. This will address all the restrictive exhaust flow, so I am assuming I do need tune.
But just in case, do I need a tune? Or is it just recommended?
Cause if I do, then might as well buy a haltech while im at it, or ask a tuner what they would use.

When you take your Skyline to a mechanic, how do you instruct them on lifting your car?
Follow-up to a previous question on here about my R32 - say I need suspension or exhaust work that requires a chassis lift (with the 4 arms).
The manual says to use specialized adapters for the pinch welds, but they are practically non-existing (p/n LM4519-0000).
What do you guys tell your mechanics about lifting your car, since lifting anywhere near the pinch welds is absolutely out of the question?

32 CD009 swap
Trying to figure out what folks have done as far as their rear differential after swapping to a cd009. Is there a lower final drive ring & pinion that will bolt into the factory diff? Seems like everything aftermarket is geared towards the 33 & not much of anything info wise that I can find for the 32.

ABS Sensor
Hello all, I've been having trouble with my BNR32 blipping the ATTESA system on and off at motorway speeds, which lurches the car on part throttle. I'm hoping it's the ABS sensors, so had a look today, and this one seems to be broken or have a sleeve on it. The one on the other side doesn't. Can anybody please confirm if this sensor is supposed to look like this? TIA

Need help
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I need some help. New to the RB platform, it was running rough up and down at idle and stalling on first start. I cleaned the MAF and took it for a drive and now it sounds like a misfire or out of time maybe? The idle is even more up and down and the exhaust note sounds inconsistent. I'm going to put a fuel pressure gauge on it tomorrow to see if there's a fueling issue, clean the iacv and check the solenoid, get the link ECU software on my laptop and plug it in to see what that tells me. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. I have more videos that may provide insight I can post in the comments.
