I was just wondering how many R32 GTR do you guys think are left in Japan in general approximately? I don’t mean as an actual figure just there general existence.... Its been a few years now since they stopped making them and many have been exported or wrecked out?

it would be good to know how many were acyually made and sold ! :sorcerer:

Rezz it is only a genoralization question as i had no clue if they were abundent or starting to dissapear.

I am interested on the car's status in a few years and if they will become a rarer thing with Japan wanting to always get rid of there older car's.

like those little toyota Sprinter Trueno things ,very hard to find now etc ...

Well with the AE86, theres a few factors that come into play with the stupid prices people ask for them. I can't say that the R32 GT-R will be the same simply because it wasn't 'the last of the GT-Rs'... unlike the AE86 which was Toyotas last lightweight RWD small car.

When R32 GT-Rs become really hard to find, there'll be people either paying decent (but not stupid) money for good examples, or opting for a newer R33/34 or even the next GT-R... kinda like the JZA70 Supra. Having said that though, never underestimate American hype. That alone could bump prices up for an R32 the moment it's featured in the next Fast and Furious: Lunar Assault movie :D

and AE86 sprinters are still by no means rare. there are heaps at auction on a daily basis. and heaps attending drift meets etc in japan and aus. yes they are stupidly expensive for what they are, but if you are dumb enough to pay the money there are heaps to chose from.

$2000 and you can set fire to my AE86. hell I'll even pour the gasoline on for you. Stupid rusty piece of shit.

Hahahaha

It is an interesting question though, there was roughly 42000 R32 GTR's made, so it would be interesting to know how many are left in Japan. Although, i dont think the prices for good ones in Oz will jump up much (if at all) when the auctions dry up, thats just wishful thinking.....eventhough you wouldnt hear me complaining if they did :blush:

The Japs keep the 'cream of the crop' so to speak, for themselves. I'm sure the big specialist 'Line yards over there are happy to let us gaijins take their slightly more used-and-abused examples off their hands LOL.

42,000+ may seem like a lot, but the Jap population is huge, so you would have to assume there are a good number of young guys looking to get into a GT-R as soon as they get their licence theses days, if they can afford it (much like here- 'cept our rego is much cheaper in comparison).

Aaaah, thats 43,934 units... >_< sorry

By the way, in the Skyline GT-R Memorial book (JDM), it lists 41,692 units of BNR32 GT-R were actually registered... leaving 2,242 units made but unregistered possibly for race use, demo cars, static display etc.

As far as Australia is concerned the easiest way to get an import approval is using de-registration papers for the car from Japan... so I'd say a very high percentage of the ones that arrived here were previously registered.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
