How Much Is A Oz Del. 91 Gtr Worth?

[JoL]

Experts!

An opportunity has arrived to purchase an OZ delivered 1991 BNR32 GTR. It has 70,000Ks, no mods and driven carefully by the original owner.

I’m presently driving a 170atwkw 98 WRX at the moment. What would I expect from this car and how many gorillas should I depart with?

Any help much appreciated.

TIA

I have a stock aus delivered GTR. Bought it with 108k 2.5 years ago for $31k. Added power FC, exhaust (front pipe back), bigger injectors, boost controller (run 1 bar) and it makes 227kw at all 4 wheels / 252kw at the rear wheels.

The car your looking at sounds very tidy, any pics?

Thanks for the reply "gtr fan". Pretty much want to keep it stock but maybe wheels, suspension and a brake upgrade for track work. When I see the car I will take pics and post them here.

Thanks again.

PS Did you replace the turbos?

[gtr fan]

turbos, brakes and suspension all still standard. I would love to change all of this!

No offence guys but I think you're off your f'n rocker modifying a "genuine" AUS delivered GT-R !!! All you could possibly do is decrease the true value of a collectable car. Why not just grab a must cheaper Jap import and mod the crap out of "it" instead ? Just my opinion ( but a strong one ).

FYI, about a year ago I was offered the purchase of Mark Skaife's personal Marone R32 GT-R V-Spec. The only reason I bring this up is that the price offered to me was $36K. It was of course immaculate and only had 17,000km on it with all the bells and whistles ( and of course, Mark Skaife's autograph on the coil cover ). I believe it sold for something like $38K.

I will keep all the original parts. Whats the problem with changing the suspension and wheels for light track work?

No problem, just a pain the arse.

I think the price on these is going to keep rising as the 'rare' nature of them comes out.

There is also nothing wrong with doing the usual mods to them, considering returning it to standard is very easy and very cheap to do. The parts you change/upgrade aren't exclusive to the australian version.

Consider that there were only ever 50 of these made/sold. I remember hearing there was 100 and then I came across a dealer listing of all the 50 chassis numbers (which I have posted on my for sale thread on my sig below). Its a PDF doc, that every good skyline owner should keep so go ahead and download

There are quite alot of parts that are different on the Australian ones.That Document mentions only some and its quite a list.

It would be very easy to tell if its a genuine Aussie one just by cross refference to that PDF doc. The ariel in the roof is a giveaway as are the indicators on the sides of the fron guards and the nissan hamburger badge on the bonnet.

I have still got the leather bound manual and 'how to drive your GTR' booklet by richards and skaife.

I am selling mine for $28,000 ono and it's not real tidy to be honest and done almost 250,000kms.

The Aussie delivered R32 GTR is the 'Godzilla' by name.

Well changing turbos, suspension, brakes etc are all fine not so noticeable mods and ......turbos ware out (why would you put stock ones back on), same with shocks.

Fair enough to mod the car with minor bolt-on replacement parts ( that you can swap back to stock later ) but I'm talking about changes to the actual / original car & engine etc. I would be looking for the most original GT-R if I was searching for an Aus delivered.

Replacing worn out parts with OEM parts, is what retains the value of a collectible car. It's as simple as that

A guy I know in Melbourne owns a genuine D Type Jaguar in concourse condition and it has all genuine Jaguar parts fitted. He gets call after call with big $ offers because the car is so original.

Don't mean to sound like a knob but page 1 of the Australian Specification.pdf states that there were 50 units built 5/91 and another 50 built 8/91.

edit: It also makes no mention of a twin-plate clutch being fitted to Aus spec cars.

You are right, 100 total imported and sold by Nissan Oz to meet the then Group A homologation regs. To say anything else is just wrong and misleading.

I'll have to check about the twin plate clutch, but I don't believe that is the case.
