No. Look at these:

A) The sheer amount of rust and $$$ needed to fix up the body work.

From what you can see the outside of the quarters have rust on the bottom edge, underneath in the wheel arch, there is bound to be more.

B) The CAS, it has a LOT of build up on it which means it's been near the sea (hence rust)

That means it'll potentially have lots of electrical problems at some stages due to corroded connectors and stuff which might cost you a small fortune to find.

C) Km's doesnt really speak much for the condition. It's very poor for 130thou Km's

I've seen many cars that old come out very clean, so the km's maybe wound back.

how much u looking to buy one for? theres a few 32 GTRs for under 30 or just over.

locally i should add.

aggggg!! not that one.. if that is the rust you CAN see, imagine how much rust underneath you CANT see! That thing will be attrotious rust bucket - not what you really want in a car that can do 250km/hr+. There are basic structural tests the car has to pass even if its 15 years old - that car probably wouldn't make it even onto the road.

And its been repainted, and by the looks of things not properly blasted back or treated before just slapping the paint over the top.

its good for parts, and that is about it.

Yeah what they said plus NO! Too much corosion near the fuel rails and CAS as said before plus who knows what rust you can't see under the rest of the shell. "Junk it".

[adznight]

Oh plus it states on the page -

"Please note: This vehicle is quite rough and would most suit import as a cheap race / rally vehicle or for working on as a project. It is NOT suitable for import under SEVS (the new import scheme)"

rust bucket

[chopobo]

its only worth it if u dump like 10k on top of it

so say u have a 20k budget

it'll be a nice lil project car to work on restoring

The blurb says that it is not OK to register as is.

Why is it so?

My wife pointed out the wheels, and they appear to have only 4 studs?????????????

Could be a NA with an RB26 transplant and a nice "R" badge.

All in all. Does not look good but for parts only. It's rubbish.

On 2nd thought look at the rotor and the wheel nuts.

Looks like it has been in a dam for 12 months.

Don't go there Eric.

It's an "R" spec.

R = Rust

[Interloper]

whats all that gear in the passengers seat?

[akeenan]

that is the worst car ive seen come through the auctions.

[Guest INASNT]

the person who buys that would be a knob and someone who would buy it just so they could brag to people that they had a GTR even tho its a piece of shit!!

[Guest RedLineGTR]

even if i had the money and time and lets say i was a spray painter etc..it would still be a bitch to cut all the rust out..there is alos rust in the engine bay...a car like that if not started regulary the engine would have alot of rust possibly on internals etc.

[elbee111]

Has anyone had a good look at the wheels as per my previous post. To my knowledge 4 studs = Normally Aspirated.

Any comments ?

Its 11k for a gtr that is worth 11k, no more.

It would be worth buying for someone that had a extra 20k to spend on it to turn it into a full on drag, street car that is going to get stripped, repainted and have engine work done anyway.

[elbee111]

It aint a GTR
