No, bretts right...a glance at carsales will tell you that. Note he said stock. 10-15 is average for a 32 gtr. 33s are between 18-21 these days, I got mine for 25188 2 years ago. Depreciation is a bitch isn't it?

Yes I did note that he said stock and in most cases, stock 32 gtr's are actually worth more!

$10.5k is a low price for a 32gtr and a glance at carsales will show you there are none lower than that in victoria at the moment. 32gtr's have a large range in price from $10.5k to $50k for an AUS version...

What I also know is that there a number of rubbish gtr's (generally the same cheap ones we are talking about) that have been imported to Australia... i know this because I went and looked at a bunch when I originally wanted to buy one a few years back. I would never buy a 32gtr for $10 - $15k unless I was planning a rebuild etc because otherwise you are just buying an expensive headache rather than a cheap sports car... I can't count the amount of horror stories I have heard

yeh thats why i bought mine was planning on rebuilding so worked out $26 grand all up... and i have a forged brand new engine with no limits so im happy :D

Yeah that makes sense. Spent gtr's are a dime a dozen and thats why there are so many cheap ones. But if you havent got the cash they need to have spent on them you will end up with an expensive paperweight like so many people have.

When I was in japan I saw an R32gtr selling for $42kAUD sitting next to R34gtr for $40k. Clean ones cost money and are highly desirable in japan... the ones nobody wants go to auction.

wow 10.5k

does it come with wheels and engine?

i bought my first 33 gtst for 10.5

imad

How long ago did you buy it?

Also remember that not much is selling these days, especially turbo jap, all the new laws and the price of petrol have killed the market, if you want to get rid of your car in a hurry these days you have to sell it cheap or it could be on the market for months

so its your MR2 i always see scooting around..

i live in hallam and go through Dandenong all the time during the week..

You couldn't mistake any other MR2 for mine lol. I'm normally in a blue one though, which is my workmate's.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
