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.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
