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.

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 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

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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
