I Am Interested In Buying A R32 Gtr

[Crans]

Or do what i have done. Buy one with a blown engine for cheap and rebuild

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.

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?

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

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!

lol yeh no idea, i got refused insurance by shannons and some others but RAA and just cars both came in with the same qoute, but just cars at the excess adjust system so i went with them

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.
