i know everyone is getting exited about the possibility of the 89 gtr

rant on

i look at the auctions pretty much every day and in the last 3 months the average price of a 89 r32 gtr has jumped, and im not talking a little amount

5 months ago they were selling from 300-500k and that is for a decent one, now 5 months later and the real crap one r selling for 800+k.

does everyone thing they r worth the money, is eveyone going to be importing the bastards..

i think im just disapointed cause i could have bought one 5 months ago when i bought the 31 but becasue i had a 32 already i passed it up

Thought you had a GTR and sold it ??

Anyway , I would be very wary of any GTR that has around done around 100K and has been boosted.

Have owned 6 or so of em and all that have done that sort of Km have been breathing heavily/burning oil.

This means add a minimum of $6K to the landed price for those who have no access to mates with w/shops.

You will be pushed to find any 89 that has done less than that in the price range you are talking.

If it has done GENUINE low kms then the Japs will pay 1.5mil upwards for it.

$16k just isn't possible.. if you take into account a little thing called stamp duty, and adding on set of new tyres, rego and things.. That assumes no problems either - don't forget that first service could cost you a few $100 as well. Most are looking at least $20k on road. Anybody who is believing "oh that is what that the email says" is kidding themselves.

p.s. Why would i be scared of "gum" pointed at me though? :P as in "Stand back I've got gum!!" :confused:

16K was acheivable a little while ago

500,000yen at current exchange rate is $6578 ( based on 76yen)

multiply by 15% = $7565

add shipping , approx $1500 =$9065

multiply by 10% GST = $9972

Factor $1k for tyres and $1K for compliance type issues =$11065

Add lic , stamp duty = approx $900 and you have one cheap GTR

Problem is , the engine will be near dead so add another $6-8K which then makes your GTR not so attractive...

Cheers

ps , Fatz at 800Kyen it still comes out to about $15K on the road.

    • 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).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
