How Many R32 Gtr's Left ? In Japan

[ish]

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:

[Beer Baron]

simple answer? bloody heaps!

[ish]

LOL ok mate ... I was hoping they were rareing up

[Rezz]

Hoping they were 'rareing up'? Why?

To answer your question (which really can't be answered), the R32 GT-Rs aren't as thick on the ground as 10 years ago... ok?

[ish]

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

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.

[ish]

haha cool guys ... probably a bad example the tureno but i know you know what i mean...

[akeenan]

in my area there are more r32 gtrs than 33 and r34.

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

Hahahaha.. how about you pay me $2000 and i will do it for you

[sh@un]

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.

[KamikazeR33]

sorry justinian.. i was goin off good ol wiki haha

would those registered ones include ones exported around the world?

[funkymonkey]

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.

[KamikazeR33]

yeah shan i wasnt just talking about aus

like say some arab sheiks that might have bought one or 500 brand new

[Duncan]

the only place they were sold outside japan was here and there were only about 70 sold.....200 imported and the remaining ones were shipped back unsold after 2 years....
