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!!

CJ

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

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
