Hi,

i know alot of people here have set high prices for there gtrs & its fair enough its there pride & joy and want top dollar for it or even close to how much they paid for it but if your on a budget makes it kinda hard to find one..

i was told 6months ago an importer of a friend could of got me one for 16,500k n i thought he was full of it considering the prices people have them for on carsales etc & due to circumstances no longer have that contact

so basicually what im looking for is a ruff indication on what are they going for in japan so i can get one landed & complied.

who would be the best to talk about getting one from japan if thats the cheaper option & what am i looking at price wise?

cheers.

A lot of guys have gambled on a $15k GTR & most have bought hand-grenades with shorter-than-acceptable fuses. To me any decent R32 GTR is a $30k proposition & yeah I know the prices have been dropping lately, but you really do get what you pay for & that is still as relevant as it was 12mths ago.

If you go into the deal with a budget of $25-$30k you stand a very good chance of getting yourself a nice car. You can either buy a good one straight-up or gamble on nothing going wrong with a cheapie BUT if you only have $15k to spend all up, when not if something goes wrong you'll be stuck with a car you can't use. If it doesn't, you're ahead but is it really worth the gamble??

Also do not under any circumstances scrimp on insurance, there are waaaay too many stories of "I didn't get insurance 'cos...." that have ended in tears. Don't be another one.

Good Luck

$25K will buy you a 32 GTR worth owning. to be honest I wouldn't worry about how much it costs. if you want to have fun with it you will find over the first 2 years of ownership you will easily spend the purchase price again on the car.

You may aswell cut your throat if your going to try get a "cheep" gtr

i'd say a nice example in japan now would be around 1.5mil

Now do they have to be standard for compliance?? as there isnt a 15 yr rule?

It cost's 1.5 plus for a GTR worth importing/owning unless you only want one for less then 12 months as you worked out you cant afford to own a "cheap GTR" they are expensive to own and getting a tired one isn't a good start.

It took me months to find my test car and condition was all I cared about not budget, year, spec, colour or klm, we are talking about a 12 to 16 year old highly tuned car.

Spend $12,000 to $15,000 on a GTS-t then you will be able to modify it and keep it running.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
