Hey mate, When I bought mine I looked on carsales. From memory there was a massive amount something like 40-50 R32 GTR's through out OZ for sale. If theres not one decent one out of all those then your best bet is to import one yourself. Also if its imported under the 15yo rule dont buy it interstate as it will end up costing you more then you think, basically has to be re-complied again.

Wasnt Shrub32 selling his?

Suprised hes having trouble selling it!

i hear that :laughing-smiley-014: had a couple of offers also a few trades one was for a gtir plus cash

I'd say the ones wanting 20+ are the ones worth looking at, especially if they're as clean and well done like shrub32's. Last thing you want is a rebuilder's dream...

lol true but who evers i decide on i wil buy on the condition it can be booked into boostworx first for a full going over

I would sell mine for $27,000 . Its a 94 (built somewhere in the last 200 to come off the production line) which I brought over 4yrs ago. Cost me $35,000 back then and have all receipts (over $40,000 spent) . Its silver and looks stock except for the exhaust and front mount. Last dyno at peter hall was 292rwks and compresion was perfect for all six cylinders. R32GTR plates with the car. If your interested pm me , And i will list the mods. Insured for agreed value of $27,500 with H2P.

I will cry if you do buy it though so bring some tissues for me.

Also thinking of selling mine. It's an '89 with a few mods. Need cash more than a car sitting in the garage. Probably only looking for around $17 K mark.

If you are looking for a perfect GT-R this may not be for you, but if you want an honest and registered car please PM me.

Cheers

and have all receipts (over $40,000 spent) . Its silver and looks stock except for the exhaust and front mount. Last dyno at peter hall was 292rwks

$40k spent and only 292rwkw?

rather little for the money imo

Dollars spent not just on power obviously.

This car looks stock except for the exhaust and front mount as said but this was my daily driver for three years.

I will give you an Idea where the money has gone

front mount high flow (tilbrooks special) $1800

HKS piping for above $600

custom manifolds $1200

R34 N1 turbos approx $6,000 (runing 1.1bar )

custom 3 1/2" exhaust from dump pipes back inc high flow cat $2,300

Carbon cannon muffler $500

exedy twin plate clutch (replaced twice) first 1 cost $4thou and got smart 2nd cost $3thou

custom bushes for rear cradle suspension $600

offset bushes for entire front suspension $1200 including labour

replaced engine mounts $250

airflow meters replaced twice at $350 each plus dyno

ignighter coil

power fc plus tune $1550

new fuel pump

new N1 water pump

new air filters $200 (plus purchased stock box $160 plus new filter $200)

alarm $600

alpine deck(cd) $400

new focal speakers $600

timing belt done $1000

timing belt tensioners done twice(included above) and another $400

gold dba cross drilled rotars front and back with pads $2,200

theres more but minds gone blank

the last bill was $3,800 (clutch $2,500 labour $500 , service injectors $200, new calcium battery $120, replace gear box oil $90 (inc flush) clutch hose $120 , rekit clutch master cylinder plus service.

These cars arent cheap to run LOL

The turbos are not for big KWS but for optimal response.

The only things needed are boost controler and larger injectors (fuel system) and more power.

The old parts are sitting in the shed (intercooler , dump pipes, turbos etc)

easy to spend $40,000 LOL

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
