there's still a day left, it might shoot up a bit more so I wouldn't be surprised if it hit 2k... i got a guy in japan who'll collect it and keep it at his place till a gtr's ready to accept them.

Still have to get them to the car and if you notice that most of the R34 GTR sets have a desired price of close to 3K so why would someone sell them for 1.5K ?

I already decided im getting one for a weekend car this week... I have been weighing up a ton of options (33 GTR etc) but when u look at getting one in thats worked off its tits for 20k its soooo too good to pass up!

However im going to get one in way cheaper through my importer up here :D

Ive even hooked up a good insurance deal and all!

BUT! Im going to budget for a respray (custom blue) and some engine work to have it in A1 condition.

Its the perfect scenario ive been looking for! Keep my 33, get a 32 gtr for bugger all and have enough to by a decent 3rd work car on a HP araangement! Yeah baby!!!!

Anyone who is after any sort of gtr has to be mad to not consider the 89 models :D

Oh and my importer is getting me a vented carbon bonnet for $750

Add in 18'' rims, dark windows, custom paint, hardcore engine and im in heaven.

I used to think an 89 gtr was too old, but after talking to a mate who has many old cars like a 67 mustang, i realised its a modern classic...

Narkeh and funkeh, il have to cruise down to melb when we all have our 32's for a photoshoot :D hehhehe

blacks r hard to get and is also the colour i want mine to be....

the only other colour i will really settle for would be red or white... mainly cause u dont see many red R32 GTRs... not real ones anyway

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
