Ive being trying to sell my R32 GTR for the past 6-8 months,advertised for $18500 still no luck.........i ve had a few people come look at the car. Last week christmas eve i had some guy come over looked at the car and offer me $16500, i refused the offer and counter offer him $17500 and i will need deposit by end of last week.Havent heard from him again so now playing the waiting game again.

One way to think about this situation is, think about the age group that would drive import 18-24.

Then think about the people who can acatully afford to buy one and maintain it. Not many people in that age group would have 20grand + to spend on a car you get the occasion older people that might be interested, hence why Gtrs, Supras and other import that are priced at 20 grand + are much hader and take longer to sell.

thats one of my theories.

To add to the above, the 24+ age group enthusiasts that genuinely appreciate your car are most likely detered by their current mortgages, high fuel prices and KIDS!! :)

think you will also find people in the market for a GTR will tend to go the R32, as they are more affordable for younger guys.

When I was in the market to buy my GTR, I saved over $10k by importing mine - a lot of people would be tempted to import their own.

Another thing that no-one else has mentioned is that fact that you have only had the car 6 months... people would be wary of this fact.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
