There is a big difference between R32s and R33s, dont just make ur mind up on their prices. They cost about the same anyway.

I think it is a resonable price, should be able to get it for $18k. If u are going to buy a car from a dealer it definately pays to get a check done, i had 2 done on 2 different cars before deciding on my new r32 and they were worth every cent. Looking back now if i had bought either of the 2 cars i got tested i would have been ripped off.

The extra cost is worth it if u get a warrenty, but make sure u read the conditions and that its valid before u buy the car.

My car came with 1 year warrenty, but when I looked into it after i bought the car it had to be serviced at intervals less than 5000kms to keep the warrenty . It had done 6500kms since last service, when i rang the warrenty company they said tough luck.

Negotiations continue,...

I now have extented rego, and reduced stamp duty,

The Dealer has also agreed to pay my deposit back if the car is not to my satisfaction when i pick it up, which will be the 8th of November.

Hopefully the the inspection and sale goes well.

Cheers for all the help and advice guys, i have appreciated it alot.

"Mitchyr32 that was ****ing sad !!!"

(wait a minute, did i just refer to myself in the 3rd person?)

mate that's very pricey

to give you an idea i got mine in late jan (ok i know it was before sevs) through private sale here in melb:

- 93000 kms genuine

- original dark blue paint

- R32 GTSt

- auto (the main reason for cheap)

- no side skirts or stereo or spoiler

- R33 rims

- body in good nick although was keyed on one side

i paid $11,500 as they guy was heading overseas and depserate to sell and i pretended that i wanted to wait before buying (he he)

moral of the stor: that car is way overpriced and you should be looking at something much cheaper if you really want a good buy. just because it costs more doesn't mean its better...

...BUT...

the choice of an R32 was a great one and if you do get one you won't be disappointed! handles SUPERB and accelerates well.

its a bit slow off boost but once the turbo spools up it gets some real kick.

...and try to see if the one your looking at is an M-spec (has some extra features of which the 4-pot front brakes is the most imporant)

cheers,

Warren.

i paid $18,000 for mine about 2mths ago and it is stock with a nice set of wheels. I paid the extra because i would rather get a good example rather than one with afew mods that has been cained around a drift track over there.

If you do this then you also have the fun of modding it any way you want and knowing the mods have been done to a high quality (i also enjoy working on my car).

that is my opinion anyway.

if you get it i hope you enjoy, otherwise good luck in hunting down another one.

i paid about 13 200 for mine all up on road. That is a near stock manual m spec, with alarm, stereo, boost controller, turbo timer. Look around mate, go for the private sale I rekon, you can get the same for a lot cheaper, or for the same price one that has a bit done to it and in good condition.

Also, If you have that much to play with, have a look around for a 33 or a 200 sx - but y would ya, skylines are better :)

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
