Like I said look around..

My mate just sold his 92 GTR.. get this for 10k to another friend!!

What was wrong with it... no front drive-shafts and rwc..

He was sick and tired of time wasters and needed to finance his new car to go down to coast in... So he cut his losses and sold it quickly..

It's funny the c$%^ didn't mention it to me or any other of his mates until it was sold :) in which case I would have had another run about :)

GTR's can be great daily drivers, I've used a few for a work vehicle that clocked up more km's per yr than most on here would ever do.

The secret is in keeping the power down to something reasonable and doing modifications around the purpose of 'daily driving' not pretending you are going to the track every second day. Remember the factory GTR is a fast car out of the box.

For example on a daily these items are a little off the mark and degrade the 'daily driver' experience to a greater or lesser extent ;

* Most Coil over suspension if not all

* Lowering the car too much

* Loud and boomy exhausts

* Turbo upgrades that get you well over 300rwkw

* solid 3 puck clutches

* Unshielded pod filters

* 1.5 & 2 way LSD's

* Aftermarket Rims (usually cheap ones) that weigh more than factory

* Super low profile tyres

Not suprisingly without falling foul of the above items you can build a car that will rattle of low 11 second quarter miles and be fun at the odd track day with another list of modifications and still drive really nicely.

just cars, ive had a clean record for the last 3 years and been driving for 5 years now including L's.

i used there excess boost thing, but even with a small excess it is only around 1400 a year full comp

You have a 32 gtr insured for $800/yr with a $1,400 excess?

What is the car 'value' on that policy?

And are you still convered considering it is illegal for you to drive that car at your age?

Edited by r32line

sorry i should have explained myself better.

my insurance WOULD be $1400 a year with a excess of around $1500 (higher due to my age). but i chose to increase my excess with just cars so that my insurance is $880 a year with a excess of around $2200. value of the car is 17k with exhaust and some other little things listed

dont know what state your from but i can drive/insure/crash/anything any car i want here in SA :cool:

Vic, u cant drive gtr till ur on full licence (earliest possible is 21, but under new rules will be 22).

Your insurance is cheap! You must be in the lowest risk area in Aus or sumthin!

i just bought a 1989 r32 gtr last week for 12 500. its fairly stock n clean as a whistle except abit of paint missin off the inlet manifold. the thing is a great daily n i get about 450km out of a tank and thats with a fair bit of time spent on boost. i just hope its fairly reliable.

Did the previous owner's stocks/shares go thru the floor?

Any rust? Fully checked for that?

Not stolen? REVs?

Not a 'demo derby' survivor?

Sounds really good otherwise... Congrats.

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • 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.
