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...

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
