Buying R32 Gt-r

[gtr_r32_reddy]

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)...

Sounds fair, Mercury is fairly reputable. What kind of work has been done to it? Is there receipts for all this work. Imean there are certainly cheaper ones around but as the saying goes you get what you pay for!

[gtr_r32_reddy]

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!!

What year model? How many kms?

But one TINY thing. Mates dont let mates drive mates cars. Just dont let it happen man.

[gtr_r32_reddy]

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
