I've got a 94 white one for sale have a look at my thred

yeah i did mate, you need a picture...i'm not looking at anything straight away as i don't have the funds and still have my other car...

i bought mine 3 months ago. i looked for smoke after 4 grand, kms leaks/ drips under engine/gearbox. paid 21.500 remember when buying a gtr tho there is maintenance maintenance and more maintenance :(

also how much would you expect a stocker r32 GTR to be going for? do you reckon i could pick one up for about 15k?

yes but thats definately towards the low side...

(like anything they vary according to cond etc)

normally around the 20k mark these days i think

If I were to purchase a 32 GTR, I wouldn't look at anything below $21k - $22k.

I'm not saying that there's no GTR under $20k that's good, but there's just a higher chance of them being in need of a rebuild soon, or things need replacing. If you find one for $17k that passes all the major $$ spending test, go right ahead and purchase it!

i bought mine recently for 20k, bargained down from 23k.

for a roadworthy it needed 1 new brake disk(replaced all 4)

and needs the engine mounts gearbox mounts and tailshaft center bearing are on the way out. but nothing to stress about just yet.

all up on the road i spent 21k on it, not including rego etc.

i guess thats not overly bad is it...i'm thinkin maybe i should save up a bit more money before i consider buying one...i was hoping i could get out of it for under $20k..but it looks like if i spend under 20 on the car..i'll be spending more on repairs...

My advice is buy private, all the 32 GTRs that I looked at in importers yards for comparison sake when buying mine where absolute crocks of shit. This was at various importer yards around Melbourne, someone like power play imports though usually import quality or reasonable nick cars (but also on the more pricey side of things as well).

So checkout the for sale section of this forum and carsales.com.au in the private seller section.

Cheers!

PS...The R32 GTR for $27,000 about two fifths of the way down the page is one I was looking at when in the market, looks very neat and probably a pretty good price if you could get them down a grand or two. Good luck in the hunt >_<

i have a mint r32 gtr which i brought over from japan and got a 2000 dollar service done by mercury motosports in brisbane. Body, mechanics, interior are all perfect. Not 1 dent. had a compression test and leakdown test with exactly the same on all 6 cyl. I wouldn't sell mine for less than 22k. Sure you can get them for 17k but parts are not cheap.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
