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

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)

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.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
