i just paid 26k for my 95 vspec 90000km basically stock. v good condition

given that i wouldnt pay more than low 30s for 98 and it would have to be awesome condition and very low km

any more and you could pick up an early model and have 10k for mods/rebuild/respray/restore whatever

Edited by arkon
do you save much money if you import one yourself?

i just depends what you are looking,

when you import you have a wider range which always help...

i found when i was looking at S3 R33 GTR, with around 50,000 to 80,000km on the clock and auction grade 4 (stock, or very little mods like exhuast or rims etc) that the cost is around 30 to 35k

but then again it depends how you are importing through etc, as they are alot of factors to look at.

ps i wont buy an r33 gtr unless it was a S3 >_<

1997 - 1998 R33 gtrs are still around the 1.8 - 2.2million yen to buy. Just under $35k would get you something good. I just bought one for a friend and its about 2 million yen inclusive of all the auction fees...etc. Works out to about $33k++.

Hey guys

Many thanks again.

THE DEAL IS DONE - another 33 GTR heads west on a big truck.

All came up well at the workshop - compressions all 160-165, nice stock dyno outputs (just over 180 kW atw), Kakimoto 3" exhaust (need to replace the small cat though), even has the speed limiter still in place (how do I get rid of that?).

Panel man said all straight and honest.

Yehaaa!!!

Now for some 2560's, Power FC and Z32 AFM's. (Don't tell the missus though)

Cheers

Good price.

The guy I bought my 32GTR off wanted $26k, ended up paying $24k mid last year.....

thanks

i was stoked cause the car is in excellent condition cosmetically and mechanically , compression was all good , no accident damage , stock.

only issue was a hidious cheap 400r copy front bar . but theres no accounting for taste i guess

24 is a good price for a 32 . i looked at a whole heap and there wasnt many that were nice and some were getting close to 30k and were still crappy .

when you go to your powerfc it will get rid of all cuts and limits from the stock ecu

try and get the power fc djetro . it uses map sensor instead of AFMs . Its about 300 ish more than normal power fc so you will save some cash over 2x z32 afms.

i have seen a guy get 330rwkw from just 2560s and powerfc (and exhaust ofcoarse)

24 is a good price for a 32 . i looked at a whole heap and there wasnt many that were nice and some were getting close to 30k and were still crappy .

I guess, it did have a rebuild just before and a wih my current mods I might be able to get around $22k if I don't advertise here :yes:

But I want at least 400-420hp first.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
