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.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
