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.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
