Stooj,

Depends on what you are after. 32's go for as little as $27k, but for a decent one you'll be wanting to spend over 30k. 33's again as little as say $40k but $50 and up will give you a low km later model.. Obviously there will be exceptions and mods can either bump or drop the price depending..

What model are you chasing and what is your budget would be the best place to start.

Cheers

Brett

Real GT-R will have the wider front and rear guards, will have full attessa 4wd system and of course the engine will be an RB26DETT. As for differences between V-spec and non V-spec - on an R33, you'll find a finned diff cover on the V-spec and smooth dome diff cover on the standard edition. For 50K you should be able to find yourself a fairly good condition GT-R. Buy as late model as you can afford too. And make sure you've got insurance lined up before hand too cause if using bank for funds, they'll need to know it's covered. For insurance, you could try the main ones, but wouldn't waste your time. Call Famous Insurance or Silvalake (they're both brokers). Both do imports and I currently have both the GT-R and Silvia insured through Silvalake.

Cheers

50k will get you a decent 33 or a monster 32 depending on what you want...

Fake Gtr's are hard to make and would be expensive anyway so unless someone tries to sell you a gtst as a gtr it shouldn't happen. Vspec in the 32's had brembo brakes, different wheels and stiffer suspension I believe, in the 33's an active LSD, stiffer suspension was about it.

All GTR's have Attessa (Vspecs have Attessa-PRO) which transfers the torque to the front when the rears lose traction if thats what you were asking about..

If you ever come down to Perth let us know and we can show you some of our cars...

Cheers

Brett

Insurance for my GT-R at the moment comes in at about $880 but could be wrong. For my previous R32 GT-R V-spec, it was insured for about $46,000 and insurance was ~$1,700/yr. My current R32 GT-R is only insured for $26,000.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • 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).
