I would never buy a stock 32 gtr for more than 10-15k. Take the chance and buy one with 15-20k worth of mods for 20k. I'd trust a possibly thrashed forged car with pistons, cluth, turbo's injectors, exhaust, diff, susp, wheels, brakes etc over spending 20k on a stock one that might shit the next week or spit a turbo and your up for the cash for a motor rebuild anyway. If the one with all the mods dies at least you have all the gear to go with it and a fresh motor. Drive the modded car at the same power as a boosted stocky it would never die!!

You can't really thrash a gtr to hard on the street compared to it doing track days. Its like people talking about thrashed cbr1000's and r1's. Bikes do over 100 in first gear in around 3 second so you can't trash it to hard unless its tracked. How many gtr's are on the track compared to whats out there, not many. Might need a clutch and g/box worst case for a streeter. No probs with gtr diffs. Don't know what the guys are talking about. Transfer cases are a big problem with slipping and cost a few $ to rebuild. Don't trust the gauge.

There are so many cars you would drive over a stock gtr for the same cash anyway. Thier not that great these days in std form compared to newer cars. Modded thier great and cheap bang for buck!!!

Mmm you do have a point except i really cbf with the hassles of getting rwc and then when you get pinged by a tmu for a stupid amount of mods then need to go out and source the stock parts to clear defects,

I would rather have the parts on hand for an easy swap.

From personal experience hunting for GTRs....20k is average for a 32, 33s average 25-27 000. I bought my 33 for 25 188 with onroads. Extra if youre looking at a V-Spec variant. Don't trust the km's...ultimately, have it checked, as long as the people checking it are happy...and you're happy...then go for it. Theyre not easy or cheap to live with...at all...but that's a sacrifice you have to make ;)

i agree, average price seems to be around 20k or so. a year ago i was looking at r33 gtr's but the cheapest ones i could find were all around the 24k mark. i looked at them all and they were all in shit condition and didnt run well. on some occasions id say its safer to buy off someone in aus rather than a fresh import cos then u know the owner here has fixed up all the problems that came over with the car and u may score some aftermarket mods. however u can get good dealers with good cars. i found my r34 at carisma in richmond and was in perfect condition.

as far as the km go, never trust the speedo no matter what they say, it is 100% guaranteed wound back. in the end a good inspection and test drive will give u an idea if u want it or not. if theres anything uncertainty then dun buy it. simple.

Yeh I don't trust the odometer readings, They are more of a guide ish i mean if the cars done 170,000km the odometer isnt going to say 40,000 more like 120,000ish I guess. I've decided to import one because I'm sick of looking at the rubbish thats for sale in vic. The importer is giving me a garentee on the condition and if im not happy with the car its deposit back also a 1yr warrenty so that sits well with me, looking at auction grade 4 cars. So what ever i decide on should be in good shape.

my mate is selling his car the link bellow. very very clean and he was the first owner in aus aswell have a look and he is in sa but he come up to melbourne alot.

i imported my r32 gtr from carizma earlier this year. Its a 1994 model and it was in good condition with genuine log books from japan (Very rare for r32s gtr to have log books). imo if u can wait defiently import one as there is much more variety to offer then the local market.

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
