I picked up my 32r just before xmas for 18.5 landed complied onroad, And its clean as a whistle :) just very very minor mods but if you want to build it up yourself then the initial purchase isn't going to break the bank too badly.

I've started to consider 33 GTRs myself. I've found that most of them are actually cheaper than 32s! At least on the JSPEC featured list.

It would have to be black though. Was never the biggest fan of 33s but in black they look quite acceptable.

There's a wingless one for like 17k landed and complied.

Anyone know what a 34 GTR wing would look like on a 33?

thats because Japanese prefer 32s :)

BOOM. Perfect timing (just taken a deposit on my ZX, getting $7k for it).

Will do all the necessary checks. If all is good then that will be in my driveway in 3 weeks.

Don't even need to sell my Supra to afford it :)

$7500 is a steal...

I would sell it. Then I might consider buying a daily.. but that MR2 isn't exactly cop bait. Looks stock as a rock, including exhaust.

We will see...

I'll ring the seller soon and see if I can arrange a test drive for Monday.

lol respray and head/turbo recondition... so the dude's crashed it AND blown the engine/turbo.

that car's had an easy life.

but it's been "Always be garaged . No Damage."

baaaaaargain.

if this dude's an international student like he's makin out to be, then vice clamp his nuts and squeeze him on price for trying to pass off a car that's had a rough life as a minter.

Don't presume the worst all the time Shan :)

Respray to me = The paint faded over the last 18 years. Full respray to freshen it up.

Head/turbo condition = Yeah, maybe he has blown the turbo.. But it has a new one now so it's all good? I fail to see a problem.

It's gotta be a 32R Dezz and you know it! Such a tough road stance. I love a R34 GTR as well... but there is always something about a R32 that just makes you go "mmm"

You'll pay through the nose for a clean one though is the only issue :ermm:

True that.

haha i tagged you in it ages ago

That looks mad!

Yeah I saw a few of the better known 32 GTR's for sale not long ago...Archie's I think was up there...all asking big coin, but pretty much everything done...Still, there's 33's going for similar money with all the fruit as well.

That looks decent, apart from the color which I'm not a big fan of...

If I did go the 32 route, and chose a modified one, a forged rebuild at a reputable workshop would be high on the list of already done mod priorities..

I have seen that car at a SAU Meet up back in 2008.

Very clean and the conditions looks very good.

It would look absolutely terrible!

GTR's should stick to their stock spoilers and nothing else.

There maybe a few exceptions with aftermarket / bodykit designed spoilers, but stock still wins over all.

Gay, I thought you were looking at something decent but it just an mr2

If I get it, race me through the twisties :ermm: Then we'll see who's laughing when I beat you and walk away with all the change I've got from the $7500 asking price.

..This is all assuming that your car is fairly stock performance/handling wise. If not, ignore the above :)

Lol dw jerermy would need to learn how to drive properly first :)

I'm improving bro! ..Not that there was anything wrong with my driving before :ermm:

And yeah blags, just ignore me. I just start mouthing off when anyone hangs shit on MR2s ;) It's a reflex.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
