17160?????? thats a lot man, my r33 cost me 17500....id think about this again man....

$17160 is what i assumed maclarenf1 total cost of his r33 is.

im comparing it to my estimated value of $13700 if i go ahead with this deal.

[justin911]

id wait for a cheaper one.. to be honest ive got no clue about the current prices on cars... but as others have said arent r33's 15-16k these days and getting cheaper every day ? r32 seems expensive to me...

Thats a very nice r33 - i think i seen it before. Do you drive around the Monash area (mount wav, glen wav, clayton etc)?

Just got back from Racepace. My car was the only one missing a GTR badge haha. Saw a couple of SAU stickers on some. A black r32 gtr and a silver r33 gtr.

Racepace checked out whole car including compression; (140,135,145,140,135,145) and said it was good mechanically and whole car clean.

Couple of minor problems which need to be fixed for road worthy which Ben explained are common faults for this age of car. All will be fixed as RWC included with car.

Thanks goes out to Ben and his team at Racepace for inspecting the car and providing honest results.

Now to arrange daypass and vicroads rego uff~

$13700 still seems like a lot. You could easilly find an R33 for that prince (S1). They are getting cheaper and cheaper. Plus for that money you get a 2.5lt engine and a better gearbox. Anyway, good luck with the purchase.

Preference really, id prefer a clean r32 over a s1 r33. Im P-Plater so not going to risk it with the power/weight ratio regardless of how many people are doing it.

RWC should be ready in 2 days, I heard Vicroads are againts p-platers rocking up with imports to get rego. Any one had issues trying to get rego under their name? For full rego not rego transfer

why is everyone comparing a good condition 32 to random cheap 33's?

If someone is after a nice 32, why does it matter what price 33's go for? need to compare apples with apples

IMO i don't care how cheap 33's get, if i'm after a nice 32, i'm after a nice 32.....

anyway, it seems like racepace have given it the all clear, so as long as Patrick is happy then its sweet
