at the end of the day, if there's an idiot willing to pay that amount of money then there'll be an idiot asking that amount for them.

it works conversely too. The australian import driving public are the most retarded people when it comes to their grasp on realistic depreciation and market values. R34 GTR's are now in the 40-50,000 mark... we just bought an R34 Nur for 54,000 landed n complied a couple of weeks ago... and yet if you look on the used car market, there's people out there who think their R33 GTR's are still worth 40,000, and their bog stock R34 GTR's are worth 60,000.

And the reason these people keep asking their money is because when a car comes into the used car market at well below "dreamer" price, the first thought that embeds itself into people's heads is "there must be something wrong with it, or it wouldn't be so cheap".

at the end of the day a car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, and as long as there are people out there who still think "dreamer" prices are realistic, then the value of the cars will remain at "dreamer" prices.

Car(s): R32 GTS-t Auto

At least there are a few mature responses.

I wasn't looking for a R33 v R32 thread

or dyno figure thread.

The R32 GTST owners are Dreamers was also in JEST.

If you clowns can't take a joke or make a useful reply, go back to google images for more pics to keep yourself entertained.

It's only logical to compare what car you can buy at X price range.

R32 GTST's are on dreamer prices "majority of the time"

People seem to try and get all their money back or something.

i rather buy a r32 gtst for the same price as a r33 gtst;

because not many cops harras you in a 32, well ive only been pulled over once and i drive around everywhere.

not a hi powered vehicle.

95% of cops cant tell unless they punch in the rego if u have a rb25 or a rb20.

so conversion ?

same power ? less weight ? sexier look ?

plus there is less r32's going around.

i swear you posted the exact same thing in the last one of these threads dude. that or im just having major de ja vu

You also have gotta keep in mind (as sum1 stated last page) that in VIC (at least with current rules) 32 gts-t's are the highest powered skyline u can drive (they come in at like 124kw/tonne, your allowed 125kw/tonne) and almost the fastest car under those rules as well, most people who have done their research in VIC look for 1.. Mine cost me 11.5k almost 3 years ago from an importers.. 15k is too much for private but.. you see some importers ask 13ish and i've seen 30+ a few times for 32 gtr's, some people are just wack

i thought all forced induction was illegal on p's... i'm well off mine so i dont really keep up

I guess someone will pay the inflated prices some people are asking if they have their heart set on a car.

I just can't see the justification.

If you are a P plater Mexican, then fine.

but for everyone else, I don't see why.

For the same dollars there are other buys which provide a better package.

and you can't go with the usual come back of "R32's aren't as common as R33's.

yes true, but R32's are also pretty common in terms of imports out there.. you are essentially just another 150rwkw, misfiring R32 owner.

No use going further with this.. it's gong to turn in to a X v Y thread for sure.

Hey..

Lets talk about BOV's.

- IMO 32s drive (ie handle and feedback) better than 33s

- i paid 13 for my hcr32 like a year ago

- friend of mine got his 33 for 13 too

- i like mine better :thumbsup:

- one of my friends sold his hcr32 for like 18 (like 6 months ago)

(note: i didn't read all previous posts as im a lazy sh1t)

ive had the same convo with many a person about how r32 prices are going up, and 33's dropping fast.

most responses are, as gtst said above "r33's are to common"

i dunno though... i bought my car cause i wanted it... didnt reay care if it impressed friends/other ppl on the road.

Cops arent gonna harass you different whether you drive an R32 or an R33... they see the 4 round tail lights = SKYLINE! and will f**k you over either way :thumbsup:

Replying from personal experience and feedback.

Ive had my car for nearly 1 year, been only pulled over once.

my mate has had his r33 for 2 months and has been pulled over 4 times.

His car is stock.

My car is not.

Then again from personal experience.

    • Then today, I went to visit a man with an r33 hat Peter and Road and Race sorted the alignment. As it is being set up for general track/hillclimbs etc it has a heap of caster (7o), less camber than I am used to (1o front and 2o rear, as the caster looks after that in turns without the braking downsides), 3mm front toe out and 0 toe rear. Will see how that goes and track tyre wear to see if it does need more camber, but adjsustment is also limited with nismo arms and adjustable bushes at only 1 end. It does have a bent inner tie rod on the driver's side front but as it came up within spec I'll just leave that as is. So, that is getting close to my chapter of this story....could of tidy ups then a shakedown in early October before it finds a new home.
    • So, it went to Unigroup for a run in and tune on Friday, everything went (generally) well. In terms of fixes, the engine was good and there were no leaks. It needed plugs (I hadn't checked them because the coil pack cover was on a new engine and I couldn't imagine they weren't new.....but turns out the temporary plugs to just keep it sealed up were in there.....new plugs gapped to 0.8 and it was fine from there. Also, there was a little preload on the clutch slave which caused some slip. I haven't had the box off so I don't know what the clutch looks like; my guess it is brand new and the pedal had not been adjusted....backed that off a bit and it held fine. Last thing will have Dose crying....the idle especially when cold is a bit difficult between the cams, forward plenum, atmo blow off valve and an 80s air management system. It is fine when hot but a little uneven when cold, will see if I can sort or at least improve that one cold morning. Other than that, tuning went fine. It made 245 but was pulled back to 227 which 2 opportunities to improve in future. 1. The factory CAS is not great and was jumping around at high RPM, so Mark took 2 degrees out up top (that is why it stops making power and lost 20kw). Very safe this way and the extra power is available but will require a more modern ECU and better cam (or even better crank) sensor 2. The 2871 in factory housings is very big for a low mount, and the internal wastegate is too small, so it was creeping from mid range all the way to redline....the duty cycle on the boost controller is turned down a little for safety. That is much harder to fix, it would need a large external gate and that would require a whole bunch of other changes, so it will go as it is for now. It feels nice and healthy and safe, so should be good for about a billion laps like this.
    • what sort of caliper are they? If they are a slider and you gave everything a good clean, you might need to regrease the pins. My guess though is they will come good after some abuse as suggested above
