Buying An R32 Gtr With Blown Engine

[SiR_RB]

hey guys

well in the next couple of months (hopefully) i'l be looking at buying an R32 GTR, ive looked at afew, browsed on these forums for ages etc, and ive decided i wanna buy one with a blown engine and just do a basic engine rebuild (we know a very good family friend who knows these engines like the back of his hand, owning/building both a 26/30 GTR and 25/30 R33, so labour/parts will be no probs)

im just posting to ask you guys if you know where you can buy R32 GTR's with blown engines? body and interior must be good, what kind of prices roughly? can you import them, or must they be in running order?

just the other day i saw one on ebay go for 9g, engine didnt start, but needed minor quater panel work aswell

thanks heaps

so you want to buy wrecks and do them up cheap? either from local gtrs or from japan

is this going to be a business is it?

nah, i thought instead of buying one for around 18ish grand and not knowing how long the engine will last, might aswel buy one wich is already dead and get it rebuilt, only after 220 - 250rwkw

What would you be willing to pay for one, good condition everything, stock as a rock, but with a dead engine?

Generally speaking from my experience the blown engine gtr's are also very used in all other aspects too so whilst you might get it for a low price the quality of the interior and exterior will also match that price.

well it depends really, the motor could of gave way coz of a stuffed fuel pump, or turbo failure, or a stuffed oil pump which is more common

anywayz thanks for ur help guys, i'l se what happens when im ready anywayz...

It also could have given way because the owner didn't take care of the car as a whole and ran it into the ground.

An engine can be rebuilt, but condition of the rest of the car is hard to replace.
