hey

im a mid twenties electrician living on the southside of brisbane, i joined these forums hoping to find some more info and possibly a seller of a VERY NEAT AND TIDY r32 GT-R..

as im sure you're all aware they are close to non existant.. i want one that hasnt been tracked, hasnt been in a major accident, has a RWC, hasnt been completely molested. :cool: lol

i would like to spend around 25 grand... sub 100,000kms on the engine AND chassis too. ive been searching for over a year now and still havnt been able to get one that meets my fussy needs, so much so that i am almost at the point of giving up and maybe just spending like 15-20 grand on a '99-'00 wrx in close to stock form. im not interested in one that has 300kw, i would much rather a bulletproof 206kw~.

anyway ive rambled enough, thanks and i hope i find what im looking for soon :bunny:

welcome to the forums.

i think the problem you are having finding a car that meets your criteria is that your budget is pretty low. someone isn't going to sell a mint condition car for the price that the dirty examples sell for. but you never know, you may find one that has slipped through the net.

very true.. im beginning to realise that realistically a gtr is out of my price range and i think i might wait til later in life to own one. not just the initial cost, but if the turbos or the engine go, im looking at a 5 figure sum... which i can maybe afford, but it would mean really stretching it which i think is a bit of a silly thing to do.

my search continues, yet for a wrx i think :/

welcome mate!

dont pick up a wrx just yet - have you looked into possibly importing one over from japan?

there are some pretty good guys the SAU, and a few decent places in brisbane that might be worth talking to..

also as for bulletproof, it is my understanding that the wrx gearbox's are like glass, push some power thru it and it goes to shit..

thats my 2cents :P

good luck :/

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
