Hey all,

Im currently looking for a fairly clean r32 GTR. Im basically looking for a 93 model with under 100,000k's. My budget is $24500 but all GTRs i have seen at the dealers around sydney in that price range are in absoloutly pathetic condition. Im not kidding when i have seen handfuls of rust and cars with interiors that need a complete re-trim along parra road going for around the $25000 marks. There is also almost none for sale privatly at the moment it seems in Sydney. I have seen some nice tight examples in the dealers but they seem to be asking for around the $27000+ marks which i dont have and in all honesty i dont think the cars are worth. I have even seen some of the dealers asking for low 30's for clean but fairly unremarkable cars. On the whole though there seem to be very few nice ones around. If they are around i cant find them.

Am i been unreasonable trying to find what im after in sydney with my budget?

I was in the same position as you a few weeks ago. Same thing, lots of rubbish.

I was lucky to find a nice one on this forum. You have to move quickly though, as there are a few people out there hunting for clean GTRs.

Here is my ride;

cheers,

Id agree with buying an untidy car cheaply and cleaning it up.

I looked for ages and settled on a decent car with a new engine. I spent a few bucks bringing the body back up to scratch, new set of rims and had the interior cleaned professionally.

Its a nice clean example now which I know is reliable.

I also looked along parra road, everyone who had GTR's was way over priced for what they are selling. Most of the vehicles had old crappy wheels, shity paint jobs with pannels that had obvious colour differences.

Wait it out for a private sale if you want something thats well cared for.

hey mate

check out this car dealer in lansvale on hume highway past the old sizzler

(right next to solace and blairs tyres)

I checked out some nice GTR's there...

made me wany sell my gts-t and get one...

hhmmm maybe in a few yrss

they had this white one for $22,000 with i think 80,000ks

didnt look too bad, there where some others also....

there was a GTR 32 Vspec II for 32,000 :laugh:

if not try and import one urself

with the help of j-spec, might save u a couple of bucks

There is a beautiful 1994 white BNR32 thats just been added to the Prestige Motorsport list and it looks like a top example.

Asking price is $21000, and includes full compression test and mechanical check information from Prime Garage.

Worth checking out :D

its a hard one.

expect to pay 1-1.2mil yen for a mega clean STOCKISH one.

finding one in ausi thats a genuine this is near imposible. trust me. unless you bring one in your self. i got mine from the dude nick sugested. you pay a little more but its worth it i think.

mine was imaculate with service histry from new to 2003. and a genuine 150k on the clock. its now done 220k and not missed a beat.

hmm well I have quite a nice 32R. bought by me from japan in 2004. 2 owner non-smoker car in japan. 80,000kms with some service history to support it. since then I've spent lots of money making it into what i think is nice. immaculate body work, all original, full re-spray in factory gun metal grey... engine rebuilt in japan in 2003 and currently making 270rwkw with a conservative tune. I would happily sell it for about $35K+. other than that it's staying with me for a long long time. :thumbsup:

anyway this is all moot now as the guy who started this thread has found and bought a 'nice' car from a sydney car dealer...

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
