hey guys,

I'm buying an R32 GT-R off my friend, it's had $15,000 spent on the engine alone, body works is in fairly good nick, and do you guys think that $25000 is a fair price for it, i think it is, cause of the work that has been done, and it's been professionally tuned at Mercury Motorsports, and has just had the gearbox replaced. I'm replacing a 97 TF Magna, with this, and hope that I will be happy (at the moment i can see that i will be). Just wondering what everyones thoughts would be, i know insurance is hexy, and parts (if it breaks) are a bit pricey as well, but i just wonder wat everyone thinks.. and no, there are only 3 people in the world that will be allowed to drive it, Terry (mate of mine, Myself, and My GF (when i get another one)...

yeah there is recepits for the work,

the entire engine was rebuilt, new forged pistons, new gearbox, tuned to 22psi boost if i remember correctly, it had ecu modified, suspension was replaced, some new electronics, heavy-duty clutch, and fly wheel, clutch plates, all up was around $15,000 if i remember correctly...

this car will basically become my pride and joy, and no one can touch it, not even to move it out of the garage, its getting a final tune before i recieve it, around 330kw at the wheels when it's finished, and four brand new tyres so it can pass roadworthy

It is only worth as much as you are willing to pay. $25k is not bad for the work that has been done (especially the gearbox)

As people have said there are a lot around at the moment for less but these are not worth anywhere near what yours sounds like. If you can afford the insurance, then go for it. If you cannot afford comprehensive insurance then don't even think about it as these cars are targets!!

my only doubt about getting the car

what is the most likely thing to go wrong in a car like that, and how much do they normally cost to get fixed?

This information would come in handy for me aswell. I'm selling my 31 coupe and was going to buy either a R33 S2 GTS-T or a R34 GT-T, but have seen a few R32 GTR's for sale and I'm being tempted into having a look at a few this weekend.

So if anyone can give me any ideas on what to look out for on a GTR, please let me know :rofl:

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
