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

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
