Hey everyone,

The aussie dollar is at .915 USD and 105 yen.

I want to buy an R32 GT-R but im wondering whether to buy it now or in 2 years. If i wait theres no guarentee that the aussie dollar will get stronger so if there are any money guru's around please let me know what you think.

Thanks.

yea, its no guarentee that the aussie dollar will be stronger, and i wouldnt think it will effect that much anyway...2yrs is a long time to wait just to get the car a hundred or 2 cheaper....so i think if u find the right gtr, but it :w00t:

Buying an R32 GTR from Japan - the money you spend in Japan on the car is probably one of the smaller sums. It's the money you spend in AUD on taxes, duties, compliance, rego, insurance, maintenance and rebuilds that makes importing pricey.

You're better off waiting 2 years and buying an R34 GTR.

With the cost of importing, in two years time it probably won't be much cheaper..... I just bought a stagea, and the cost in total, on the road was about 10K, but the car itself only cost 2.3K...... so even half the price, you'd only save a bit over a grand tops. And loose time driving the car waiting for the price to drop.

if anything really really nice 32 gtrs have gone up a bit in price as they get harder to find

i saw a black vspec II with 50000km , with logs and history , go for about 2.2million recently

thats a pretty special gtr but you get the idea

crappy gtrs will continue to get cheaper .

Exactly, only the good V spec models with low km's will now start to go up in price, where the others will drop off.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
