i do realise what you are saying.

but even the level of interest, or lack of... is amazing.

Sorry to hear lack of interest, this is one of the sweetest and cleanest looking 33s and the GTR market is ridiculous at the present. Best of luck with the sale.

This colour on the R33 GTR shape looks outstanding-Yes the market has gone dead on GTR's-it took 8 months to sell my last one-and they price was very cheap :D

There is nothing in the car market that would get close to a GTR for around $30,000. For that case in any market, best $30,000 you could spend I reckon. But if you need the money, it has to go and the market predicts what $$ you get, I have no idea why people are scared of GTRs, you buy one with a good history and background, look after it they are the best machine going around for the $$$. I bought a 1990 a few months back, spent a few thousand on cleaning it up and now its an everyday driver, and a weapon. Best of luck Pawley.

From a guy who just sold a r32 R there is alot more wannabes than cando's.... and the cando's have a fairly good choice alround...

Its not the car mate its the market.....

To this day i have never seen a gtr owner driver bag there own car out ....only people of a lesser models tend to exagerate that GTRs are no good . Funny that

There's nothing wrong mate in fact i was just looking at the pictures after it was detailed and it look's amazing.

Thing is though the ass end has dropped out of the market for them, i mean i agree there's nothing like a GTR for looks or performance, but these day's with high petrol prices on pump premium and insurance companys wanting stupid amounts of cash to insure them nobody's interested.

My mate had his advertised for quite some time and he really really struggled to sell it, and it's a 10sec 96 model midnight purple R33 GTR V Spec. He only just got 33k for it and it was immaculate and totally factory original except the engine mod's and a bloody aftermarket gearknob, even the guy was complaining that it didnt have an original shifter knob and shit. lolol i mean who gives a stuff it's a 10sec GTR for christs sake at 33k and your still sooking. Damn, go buy a ferrari for a few hundred grand and he woulda handed it its ass each and anyday of the week.

Here is a video of it on M/T street radials at heathcote park raceway, all he done was drop the exhaust, and he took it easy on the changes because he didnt want to damage the gearbox.

BTW it has new generation Garrett low mounts on it on stock factory manifolds aswell.

33k it was a bargain.

That's disturbing.

So people now want a car that will run 10's for $30grand?

I know of 2 australian gtr pioneers that invested house prices into their cars to run that kind of time!

R33's in particular have just dropped hey. I just picked up a R33 S2 GTST 96 model with 90,000kms for $12,750. I see people trying to sell R32's for that.

I remember the time I purchased my R32 GTR ( only 18months ago ) and the very cheapest dirtiest R33 GTR I could find available for import was 28k. Now, have seen as cheap as 23k.

17% drop in 18months is almost commodore depreciation!

I say hold on till market changes a little. Oil prices are changing and who knows, maybe another fast and furious style movie will come out, lol.

Tell me about it, i have to heard of mega dollar engine packages aswell supposedly making anywhere from 500 to 600+kw at all 4 wheels and running in the 10s not much faster than this car.

You can either do like psybic said and hold on and wait and see how the market swings, or bite the bullet and offload it at a cheaper price, its such a shame i think though, as i reckon they are a world competitive supercar at a price reasonable for the lower budget people to afford.

All the best with it anyhow it looks great mate.

Cheers

I thought this price was cheap!

What have interested parties got to offer?

Appreciate the comments guys.

its sad but true - they have dropped ALOT in price!

but good for a prick like me who is looking to buy within the next few months lol :P

on a quick note there is a 1995 gtr on carsales.com.au with 110,000 km for $26995 - the guy said he would do $26000 cash

can you match anything near this price?

You've obviously set money aside (and remember its LOTS if a GTR goes bang) for the worst case scenario (and that is all I am suggesting - possibility) once you take possesion. Are you being offered maintenance receipts (as I am able to provide)?

Price drop btw.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
