Hey all,

Been wondering how much the R33 GTR's were when they were released (amounts in Yen would also be handy - just to feed my curiosity)!

prices for -

a) non vspec

b) vspec

i've heard that they were around the AU$150k mark after yen translation, but if anyone knows the actual accurate figures?

cheers!

chris.

Introduced: January 1995

Price: 4,805,000 Yen

Exchange rate back then: Dunno

Production Figures (including N1 & LM Limited Versions)

Standard = 9871

V-Spec = 6551

Total BCNR33 production = 16,422 but I can't tell you if the price above is for V-Spec or Standard.

$150,000 sounds about right...

R32 GTR, when first arrived to AUS were around the $110,000 mark.

hang on

something doesnt sound right....

it states on the exhange rate website that in January 1995 is $1 AUD = 74.75 Yen

well thats around say......$64,000???

True hehe...

What Japan paid as a basic price for their R32 let alone their R33 & R34 isn't anywhere near what we would have paid here in Oz

I don't even know what tax is put onto that basic price either.

There was an estimate back in '96 that the R33 GT-R V-Spec would have costed about $160K if it were released here by Nissan Motor Co.

yeah maybe

i think iron chef has a better idea of these things

would certainly be interested to hear from Kristian on this one, yes.

I'd imagine itd be a fair bit given the Series 3 is now 12 years old...and i just shelled out 25k for the privelege of owning one =b

25k! damn thats cheap!?

vspec?

Yeah i know right? I was really happy with it. Place i got it from regularly has em, sells between 25-30k depending. if there are any mods the price tends to be cheaper cuz more people are after stock. Mine was 25 cuz it has fully adjustable suspension =o

Not sure if its a Vspec. I dont think it is...but it has the same fromt as a vspec...the diffuser bar etc... and it has ABS but other than that no idea =b

So im probably just gonna say nup.

*edit*

As seen in the fasted thread...you heard it here. Non-Vspec.

i'd say its not. in the attached screen shot you can see the 6th letter along in the model code (with the small red line i drew under it) is a Q. in the model code breakdown window the the Q with the red line i drew before it means just a normal GTR. further down you will see the blue line i drew with the letter W next to it that means V-Spec.

25k for a series 3 is a realy good price !

my brother inlaw is selling his for 34k (1998 model)

well 25,000$ is definately a decent price

but as for the 34,000$... the problem with private sellers as well... is they sometimes tend to just open thier mouths for any price regardless....

There are non V-spec standard R34 GT-R for around $45,000

a standard roupgh price guide for on Redbook for 1998 R33 GT-R V-spec on PRIVATE sale is $23,800 - $27,400.

so i personally would not even bother to nogotiate with someone like that if i were to buy one.......

people can boast about what they've spent on thier cars but as far as modifications, some can actually save you a little bit of cash.. but alot of the modifications are an unwelcome sign.

That depends entirely on what you want the car for.

Before buying my white GTR i was intending to look at a black one the dealer had had...Blitz Nur Spec R catback, FMIC, aftermarket rims all already included. With a GT-R...youre not gonna get your average buyer looking at buying one. Its not a case of...oh that new Hyundai i30 looks good...but theres also this GT-R too...

Its not like that.

The majority of buyers interested in a GT-R, while stock is preferable for some because then they can do their OWN modifications, Pre-modified GTRs have their calling in saving dollars in parts and labour for the new owner - because its already been done.

Good to see you done the maths... I couldn't be bothered with doing the conversion rates...

I just went by what the R32 GTR was and assume the R33 GTR would be more.

Cool, thanks.

25k is what i would pay for a stock s3 r33. considering i have just bought 2 s3 gtrs (one for me and one for my bro). We paid a little extra (only 2k) and got a shit load of extras, around 20k worth. We plan on getting to the track more often and we were planning on moding them aswell. But now all we have to do is save for when things go bang. Having owning it now for 6 months, ive already spent around 5k mostly for additional mods (oil cooler, coilovers, tyres). I dont think i could justify starting from scratch. it would cost both arms and legs to get it to any decent lvl.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
