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 :/

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
