username checks out.
I'm not even going to go into detail: 1. the rbs' oil issue is overblown. every motor has a problem area that will be the first to act up. the rb however is a victim of it's own success. being 2nd to only the 2jz in every "whats da best jdm motor" clickbait ad, every fanboy who has ever googled 2jz vs rb26 has found out that yes, the 2jz is a stronger motor able to be pushed harder. they find search "why rb26 sucks" and of course they see "oil". instant ammunition. so they go on every swag stance facebook group and give rbs flak because they should have an elder-god 2jz. they then hop in their stanced 91 accord and hit taco bell to hard park. no motor will be 'reliable' banging off a 8k redline, usually modded to hell at that. the 2j is FAR from a stranger to oil issues itself actually. 2. 1988. thats when they started piecing together the 26 platform. the motor is old. as fuck. 3. the r32 anally assaulted Group A 4. the r32 is a timeless car that needs so little to look amazing. 5. the r32 fucked your bitch 6. the r32 is a 25+ y/o Nissan. I feel bad for everyone who fell for the lol gran turismo need4speed 2fast2furious portrayal of the r32, r33 and r34. |

It was a love hate relation. Love the body lines. Like u said every motor has its problems. Like every one know keep it at 400whp and u should be safe. 400 is just not enough for me with a straight six motor! Back in my high school days my 1.8 Honda was well into the 400hp. To fix the oiling/crank collar issue right cost a good bit. Just something in my mind should not be a issue from the get. When the Engine code stands for race bread. I also regret trading my mk4 Supra for the gtr but at that time Skyline was my dream car I had never seen one in person and I just jumped. in hindsight it was probably the worst decision of my life! I'm not knocking the chassis by any means but for 20-25k there a lot of other cars I would rather have.

Mk4 supra: expensive unless you get the n/a auto (still pretty pricey and not to mention, gay) M3: expensive and/or unreliable M5: see above Own a fd rx7 and youll know the very definition of high maintenance and finicky. You start looking at anything with a piston motor like it's a honda civic lol |

I wanted an R32 GTR for the last 5 years. My initial goal was to save up / sell my two-tone and use the funds to buy one.... Then the prices started going up and the more they went up the more I got turned off.
Now I've decided to keep the two-tone and buy a brand new car that is about 3x the price of an R32 GTR. Good riddance.
