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...

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
