It would need to be an exceptional car, no accident history etc of coarse!

I reckon a great 32 is still worth that, as I got that for mine and reckon I shoulda got more, as I had the sh*t5 at the time and sold it to the first guy that made an offer.

But there is just so many out there now, we picked up a REALLY nice one for a mate yesterday for 19G, no accidents, (perfect sills and everything) with a bit of gear (cooler/inject/N1's etc) just a little clear coming off on the rear spoiler. So, it would have to be a really good car to command that price.

i'd haggle the price down if u can, see whats been replaced and if they can prove it, i bought my 1993 gtr for 28g i payed to much 4 it i know wont b able to sell it 4 that price now,if u buy though dealer dont expect to sell around that price later,if ur interested mines 4 sale but it aint v spec

SO it worth the extra few $$$ to get the V-spec II, what are the advantages does it have over a regular GTR or v-spec I

for the v-spce II is only a little different for normal gtr. different is brembo brake system, 17 inch bbs wheels, r33 asstesa system and boot have more a little wing. that all. 94 normal and v-spce II have same engine system, but i u get N1, that more different....

well he's selling this R33 GTR Vspec for 35,000 and it's got low km

so yeah up to you i guess, but personally for a really good mint 32 GTR i wouldn't pay much more than 25,000.

personally i want the R32 shape (don't really like r33)

Should i just go into autostyle and tell them to find me one with all the goodies?

From the owner of a V Spec R32.....

The R32 V Spec II was not released until Feb 1994 so something is suss there. Be aware it is common to practice find false claims on V Specs.

Even if it was a 'V Spec' I wouldn't bother with one unless it retained the original BBS rims, as this is one of the few 'trademark external features'

I beg to differ with the above advice...a comparable condition V Spec IS worth $10k more than a non-V Spec in the R32 series. However if your main purpose is power via major modifications then save the outlay expense and go the non V Spec option.

I believe a rare R32 V Spec or VSpec II will hold value propably better than any other GT-R.

yea true did the v-specs come withe brembo's?

yea i was thinking that as you see the price differences on v-spec compared to non on the r34 gtrs

V-Spec Factory Features over a standard GT-R

•17 inch Aluminium BBS mesh rims with 225/50 tyres

•Brembo brakes (four-piston) with ventilated 324mm discs up front and two-piston 300mm discs in the rear

•Firmer suspension setup (bilsten shocks)

•Electronically revised all-wheel-drive system (ATTESSA-PRO)

The ONLY difference between the V Spec and the V Spec II in a R32 is that;.

* V-spec II actually had slightly wider tyres at 245/45

* The V-spec II had a boot decal

Other stuff?

* Boot lip (under the wing) often seen in pictures,... yet mine dosn't appear to ever had one

* Also mine has no rear window wiper

Maybe optional from factory?

Hey,

Nobody seems to have mentioned that there were only ever 400 r32 gtr v-spec II's built. When you consider how many of them are probably scrapped or crashed, a genuine vspec II in good condition is quite a rare vehicle. A friend in japan saw one at a dealership recently with 18,000kms and even in japan it was selling for close to $40,000 AUS before onroad costs etc. Also as far as i know vspec II's were only built in 1994 as mentioned above.

I like the fact you only want to buy an r32 shape, the original godzilla is my favourite by far!

I still don't think a v-spec or v-spec II is worth more than 10% more than a standard GTR, there's just not enough changed to command a premium. If it's an N1, I think thats a totally different story! I sold a mint genuine 32 N1 for over $50G a couple of years back, but I think that car wouldn't pull over 35G or so now? The real problem with gtr's is that mod parts are just so readily available and cheap now, that virtually anyone can go and mod one to be easily better than whatever the factory ever released, and taht takes the "exclusivity" factor away from them. It was a different story even just a few years ago, when everything was hard/expensive to get. That's why I think only cars that were genuinly built for some form of motorsport will be collectable given time (ie. N1), and only then if they're left standard.

Just my opnion.....

    • I sense an out of control build thread coming up lololol. That 450kW goal will end up being 600 to 700kW LOL.
    • Nice, thanks for sharing your progress....that's a pretty long list you are putting into it!
    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back.
