R32 GTS-4 (found in classifieds)
Here is a car that I believe is worthy of its own post.
It is an all-original, turbo, HNR32 in great condition, with apparently “one lady owner”. What makes it really special is that it is a turbo, coupe, GTS-4 that hasn’t been modified.
It has all-wheel-drive, and also HICAS four-wheel steering. That means that it will corner like a dream, and you still get mad acceleration.
It is an automatic, but there are very little signs of wear (the steering wheel in my R34 is falling apart), and a manual conversion is very do-able. Since it’s 4WD, you can swap in a GT-R gearbox with ease.
It has the original floor mats, the vents haven’t fallen off, it has the original tape deck, and look at how shiny the original steering wheel is.
From the photos the exterior looks very good, aside from rust in one wheel arch, and it appears to have M-Spec side skirts that give it a sportier look, while still appearing stock.
Since it is a factory turbo model it has the upgraded brakes that the GTS and GTS25 models don’t have.
Now the mileage is rather high at 220,000Km, and the price is a suitable $8,000, but if I had the money I probably would buy this and swap the turbo for a bigger one.
It almost looks like a GT-R - the only exterior change I would make is a high level GT-R spoiler.

Nice find!
The urge to sell mine and buy this is strong.
Don’t swap turbos, ditch the rb20 for a 25. Loads more power and torque, same fuel economy and every mod you do will net more power than on a 20.
Interesting. Very interesting indeed. You just reminded me how easy it is to source a Stagea 4WD RB25DET NEO-VVT.
GTS turbo?What?I thought all GTSs(from the R32 to the R34)were N/A…
The GTS-4 was a turbo 4WD. It just didn’t make sense to say GTS-t-4.
My gts-4 is half way through being painted, and this ones a manual with hicas
I thought it was a GT-R for some reason.
Are u gonna get it? Looks clean on the outside
Probably. $8k isn’t actually a good price for an auto but considering how tidy it is, and unmodified/thrashed it is reasonable. Also I suspect is might be an M-Spec. I’ll try to bargain down the price to $6.5k and use the difference to buy a GT-R gearbox.
This is sick man! You should get it!
Trying to sell mine so I can get it. It’s a bit overpriced, but that’s the price you pay for a factory-original one with such good interior. Hopefully they will lower the price by $1k.
It’s clean, stock, and well maintained. Same car would go for 14-18 here in the U.S.
Maybe I should buy it and ship it to the U.S. I have thought about doing that before because there is an R32 GT-R at a dealer in my city for $17,000USD
