lol what a waste of a thread... people will only pay what they are willing to pay. around the brisbane area there is way more 33's so around here the price on 32's is a little higher. theres ooodles of both getting sold though, so its up to the buyer to deicde on the "thats to dear" or "thats a bargin"

F**K YOU! :D

Here you go mate..

Oh... I see your pain...

hey.. not my fault you paid too much for a nugget.

but it's ok..

you can sleep well knowing that you got a car with a boat anchor for a motor

Make sure you keep those revs over 4K mate.. you don't want to find your self in the Subaru Twin turbo style Valley Of Death

The R32's seem to be holding their value the past few years - So hard to find a clean example now so i went along with the importing route and scored a clean example for 12k which i thought was a reasonable price.

Re-itterating on a lot of points here, the P-Plate restrictions, lack of clean examples, baseline value are playing a huge part in the prices and there's nothing you can do about it. If you really like the car, you would fork out the money for the price being offered.

Everyone has their own opinion, it's just that hardly anyone can present a mature point - sound like a bunch of school kids fighting over what match box car is better than the other. Get over it - reading this shit puts me off visiting SAU.

hmm well personally i wouldnt pay $600,000 for a 30+ year old ford... but people do!

it comes down to what people want, and supply and demand!

...if no one wanted them, people would be struggling to sell them, so people would be asking less for them! Simple

You're comparing an R32 GTST to a GTHO? :rofl:

Here's another way to look at it.

Cheapest R32 GTST I've probably seen was about $6K.

a shitty, faded, 89 model with oil leaks etc etc.. what youd expect for that money right.

cheapst R32 GTR I've seen was $13K.

same condition.

Both same year

$7K apart.

new car price for both?

$40K for GTST??

$100K for GTR?

It's only the R32 GTST owners that seem to be confused about the value of their cars (mexicans I can understand due to P Plate restrictions)

$12K for a clean undamaged, smoke free R32 GTST is a fair price in my eyes.

people asking $16K for this sort of thing are Dreamers and only a SUCKER would buy at that price.

lol @ matchbox styles

Also lol @ rb20 = boat anchor, that means they should be in the 33 because they're a boat

:rofl::D

Actually i would probably get a S2 33 over a non-type M 32 (with the nice front bar)

you got that wrong ey... its not the OWNERS that are confused about the value of their car... its got to be the BUYERS, if you own a car you know is worth (example) $20,000, and someone offers you $24000, would you say no?? its a buyers market, the buyers bring the prices up or down, not the damn sellers.

you know if a car is over priced, cause it will start at (example again) $17,000...then go to $15500... then maybe 15k and so on till it reaches its price range.

there are plenty of "suckers" as you call them out there wanting to buy a car, and hell if a "sucker" come up to me prepared to pay more then the value of my car, il say yes!!

I reckon, that in the long run, better looking cars hold their value better. Now an rb20 is pretty easily replaced with a 25, but try and make a pig ugly 33 look like a 32..... sorry guys, but everyone know 32s are a way better looking car than 33s.....

Doesn't the fact that we know there are suckers make us more opportunist than dreamer?

Despite being a little slow i feel the need to retort to some earlier posts

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
