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

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
