Ive got an R32........finally!

[xRHETTx]

Hey,

For anyone who is interested, Ive finally got my R32 today. Have been looking for ages, but then I saw this one and just had to have it. I wanted a sunroof but in the end it was more important to get a good car, than a shit one with a sunroof.

Its a R32 manual GTSt Type M, white. Best thing about it is that when sold in Japan in March was auction grade 4!! Almost perfect.

Second best thing is that it has the optional suede interior. The only car ive seen with it, looks more like the GTR interior, makes a big difference.

And a few mods aswell to get me started, exhaust, trust ajustable dampening suspension, POD, wheels.

So im really happy.. And I got insurance through Just cars for $500 cheaper than I thought it was going to be.

Altogether a great day. Will post pics as soon as I can.

Thanks,

Rhett

just so u know... auction grade 4 is false... its not possible on such an old car because of mileage...

oh and its the same interior as mine... its velour much better than the normal stuff.

sounds great tho!! cant wait to see it... did u try get a quote from famous classic? cause they normally cheaper than just cars.

[pushead]

niceee one. how much did you pay for the car?

depends when it came from Japan though don't it..

Anyway, good work xRHETTx...all that looking around paid off. You got the colour u wanted too, so congrats! hehe.. another makes the jump from R31 to turbo skyline. Its a good one.

I've actually been looking around a bit for a 31 again as a 2nd car.. I'm after a wagon - seen a couple that might be worth pursuing. So I might be doing the step back into the 31 world once again

A mate of mine has one with an RB25DET dumped in it, he was looking to sell it last time i saw him, i'll find out for you if interested.

Congrats rhett on the 32 sounds nice, just a question, how long did it take all up to get it here? and then on road? i remember when i was waiting for my 33 i was fully depressed for about 3 weeks coz things kept takin longer and longer ie. waiting for compliance plates and shiat

cheers

Inark, I have the auction report in front of me, It is definately genuine, its rating 4, as of March this year. 74,000kms.

I thought 4.5 was only for car under 50,000kms, and 4 was low kms for age, no accident damage and excellent condition for age.

I might be wrong though, but the report is real, im sure of that.

Im selling my r31 soon, as soon as i have time to get rwc and wash it. Its a December 88 manual, silver wagon GX, rola roof racks, remote immobiliser, about 237000kms, had it over 3 years, and its never stuffed up on me. Stock as Might come with decent stereo if i cant be bothered putting it in the new car.

antuanstylar:

I bought the car in Vic privately for $16.6k, onroad with 7months rego and 7 months warranty remaining. So i didnt import, didnt want to wait any longer, it seems to be what i was looking for anyway, at a similar price.

You cant get a good r32 from japan for less than $15k ive been told, then add on hassle, rego rwc and no mods and it evens out.

Insurance is $1700 insured agreed value $16600, 21, rating 3, no accidents or fines ever, with exhaust and wheels declared at the moment, will tell them about suspension soon. I guess it helps that im down on the Mornington Peninsula.

[xRHETTx]

Famous couldnt do better than $2600 because of my age, couldnt even match my online quote of $2200 from Just Cars.

If anyone is after insurance from just cars, dont use the online quote system. It is way more expensive than just ringing up and waiting on hold.

[xRHETTx]

Ohhh... I get to change my profile...

[funkymonkey]

Congrats on the new car... yet 1 one joins the R32 ranks... wheee

[inark]

2600? serous? ouch.... theyre normally pretty good with it. oh well 1700 is all good anyway!!

Pics would be nice man. Sound pretty sick.....

[xRHETTx]

Got a few photos up now...

http://au.f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/rhett_fraser

Apparently yahoo wont let freeloaders like me publicly share there high res photos anymore. So the pics arent that good, and the auction report is pretty small now.

Id love to know know what some of the report means...

[inark]

[Guest RedLineGTR]

The way you say this, you make it sound like they didn't make any factory turbo R31's.

[inark]

there are turbo 31s!!???

[ApacheX]

ey congrats man

..too bad its a 32

j/k

i saw a turbo r31 wagon today at work, funny stuff

was the UGLIEST car ive seen, the front bar was cut really badly for the fmic to fit, was comical

auction grades depend on what auction house it is.

according to geoff risbey, most of them only give 4s and above to practically brand new cars with no mods or damage. but that you cant really compare from one auction house to another because there all different.

so a 4 at one place could be 2.5 at another cause of its age.

i like the seats your taking about. firend of mines new 32 had those seats, looks so much better than standard and feels cool too.

[inark]

i made sure the 32 i got had those seats... cant stand the normal clothy spec flicked crap.

and now those seats are in peices starting to wish i never put that bucket seat in...
