Hi All,

I will be coming home to Aus in about 2 months and have 25-30k to play with.

I want to get your advice to see if the following is achievable for my budget.

1) find a clean 32GTR with a good engine

2) Possible respray over stock color - freshen the look up

3) new rims, 19inch deep dishers

5) possible leather interior retrim

Can it be done?

Cheers!!!! :O

I think you will be looking at close to 35k for that, depending on what kind of respray and parts you want...

Surely the interests of good taste would dictate that it not be done? :O

ha ha!

I want it to be a classy streeter, usual gfb, bov, front mount, k&N etc.. all that stuff can come later + most gtrs allready have that stuff on them by now anyway..

The respray will just be going over the stock colour, just to fresh'n it up, and the leather will be good quality, not crazy hide, but nice stuff.

the rims, i guess will cost about 3k with rubber.. i think it can be done.. ??

Any tips on how to find a good engined 32gtr? I want it to be reliable, so not overworked, how often to these engine need a rebuild?

any gtr special engine check places etc??? just dont want to buy a bomb and have to spend 5k on a full rebuild!

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
