Mr GTST,

17k might get you a non-tubo auto.

there you go. $17,000 camry that costs as much as a ferrarri to ensure. wikkid stix.

jmp,

got to Prestige Motorsports (google) and have a look at their recent stock lists. you can then pretty much add between 3 and 5 grand to the costs quoted there for something landed in Aus.

15 months ago I imported my r33 it cost me $17400 with alarm system on the road complete. It was a grade 4 vehcile inside and out, now the outside has a couple of pin dents and small scrapes thanks to australian carpark tosser's, but I'd said I paid a pretty high price for a dead stock vehicle, but it was in excellent condition for a 9 year old car.

approx $16k for an r32 gtst.

with basic lil mods.

they still dont seem to be THAT common in perth in comparison to places like Qld - so i think the prices are around $2k - $3k more here....just what ive noticed.

Well i picked mine up for $16k with exhaust, bleed, suspension, wheels and 85,000kms from a private seller

but if you can afford it..consider an 89 stock gtr...around 20k isnt bad for one

If you're only able to spend $20k on a car, are you going to be able to afford to maintatain a GTR?

I was thinking about this last night. Its an older car, EVERYTHING is rarer than the gtst and in most cases you've got to buy two of everthing....

I reckon there's gonna be a lot of 89 GTRs for sale domestically (private) because people just can't afford to own them.

R32 should be able to be picked up for 16k for a nice example, they are not that much cheaper then r33s because 1 they are a better car and 2 the are more rare

ouch!

:D

The older the car the more likely it'll need some work done to it when you buy it. This can quickly negate the excellent deal you got on it in the first place. Either way if you buy a 89 GTR and you get a good one, then you're likely to pay top yen for it or you get one that needs some work and pay less yen but need to spend a few extra thousand fixing it up when it gets here. I'd still be budgeting $25-$30k for a r32 GTR either way. Face it, most of us are fastidious when it comes to our cars, no point bring in a 89GTR all banged up to save a few thousand if you arnt going to fix it up and make it look and drive nice. Though if anyone brings in a 89 GTR I'd love a look at it to see what its like :D

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
