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.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
