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

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
