Just cars gave me agreed value on my series one 33, from what i've seen a clean sub 100,000km series1 33 can range from 15k to 22k I paid 15 for mine and insured it for 18. :headspin:

I insured mine for $24500 agreed value (modified S1 R33). I expect this to drop considerably next year. One of the reasons why I'm thinking of getting a tracking device and buggering this whole insurance thing off.

I think the prices will rise slightly, esp as the new RAWS scheme is pretty expensive, and only stock cars can be complied. Also, alot fewer cars are being sold now, as not too many have been complied under the new scheme.

If you are having probs with the insurance company, just send in a copy of a few adds from the newspapers, or something like HPI wich have a few car trader adds.

anyone noticed the number of cheap R32 GTR's??

From Prestige...

Why is that...??

They are GTRs as you can see the RB26DETT engines and badging etc etc

They are here inc on road costs from around 20k...

What the??

Why....?

Anyone help? Because im tempted to get one now... instead of a R33 GTS-t for around the same price.. :headspin:

Most of them are the early 1989 R32 GT-R that can be imported under 15yo rule from around mid next year 2004. they are cheaper as only need engineer paper. But I reckon a later 94 R32 GT-R V-Spec II would still be pricey.

Nothing wrong with the old ones as long as they are original, never been overly modified then reliability shouldn't be an issue. Otherwise, could be a time bomb and better set aside a few thousands for engine rebuild just in case.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
