What Do You Guys Think A R32 Gtr Approx Worth Is With These Mods?

[glaze]

Deano1, sounds like you got a great deal with the Nismo GTR. Not sure if you know the cost of an R33 N1 engine and R34 N1 Turbos, but they dont come cheap. Let alone brand new VSpec11 Brembo brakes.

I know the price is high, but I think you guys are actually underestimating the parts used.

Here are a few pics to have a look at.

[MEKTIK]

Iv seen this car for sale somewhere?? on here or carsales cant really remember??

$25000 max is what I would spend on this.

Im not a big fan of the colour and the white engine bay.

[glaze]

Really Appreciate the feedback guys!!!

Thanks

[Bunta]

25k tops, mine has all that and a forged rebuild and i wouldnt expect to get more than 20k for it. I dont think anyone is debating the cost of the parts in it, they are just saying that you can probably get a better modded (the N1 stuff isnt all that special), and similar condition car for near on half the price

[glaze]

Just Jap is selling the same engine New for $23,000. Can someone please tell me what the N1 Engine has that is so special compared to the standard RB26.

Thanks

[PM-R33]

Developed by Nismo for group A racing.

24U N1 block with improved channels

Balanced crank for high rpm as the length of a RB crank develops bad harmonics at high revs

Better pistons and rings

N1 oil pump and water pump

N1 turbos and N1 camshafts

And probably a couple of other things I have forgotten about.

So quite a bit.

Like said, looked stock as a rock as it came out of the factory, even the engine bay because they were low mount twin turbos.

Previous owner spent about 60-65k on it total

Still maintain 22-24k price bracket and even then, I wouldn't buy it cause I can't stand a car with a different coloured engine bay.

Gav in WA had his 32 for sale a few weeks ago with HKS Step 2 2.8L motor and 2530s making 522hp atw for 35k and it is just as clean as that car. Really for 35k in todays market I would be expecting a 400kw motor with all the fruit. 25k max for that car. It is clean though, just needs some wider wheels

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Dream on dreamer as the dreamer can always dream...

An immaculate R32 GTR, but if it was 5 years ago, I would pay $34K for one.

Considering the time and effort put into this R32 GTR, I can't see it getting back every dollar for it.

But a decent offer of mid to high Twenties would be my offer.

This thread is useless without pics!

Pics or ban!!

Does anyone have pics of this car?

Sounds good just need a mental picture of it.

Thanks (OO)SKYLINE(OO), Yeh it seems like a really well built car but more importantly, it has had an owner over the past 4 years that is super fastidious about his R32, and this is very important for me. Combine the 2 and its worth more than just modifications.

I actually quite like the colour, as I have a Veilside Evolution Widebody R32 GTR in the same colour, so Im a fan!

I am checking it out on Saturday so will see what it is like in the flesh, a drive around Woodend will give me all the info I need:)

You got a point there...

I suppose the cars worth is in the eye of the beholder and I am seriously considering trading my M3 for it!!

True!

Atleast it has all the work done to it...

I remember seeing an ADM R32 GTR in the same colour and went for $70K.

So $34K (fresh mods) vs $70k (factory stock) you're getting a bargain.

See how you go after seeing the car and by testing it will tell if it is worth the price advertised.

While you're there, throw in a reasonable high twenties off and work from there

^You can't compare a stock Aus del to this lol.

Does it have a sump extension?

If not then lolol.

[glaze]

Ten Four, you have proven your point of having a modded GTR at some stage and your knowledge on cars-Well Done!!

I asked a simple question about the possible worth of this car with the mods it has, colour and white engine bay is no issue to me, if it was I wouldnt even look at it.

This is not a Group 1 race car and will probably be used for a few minor track days, but mostly as a nice street GTR, all I am trying to do is to get some thoughts on approx what this car could be worth from an enthusiat point of view, not to compare it to the greatest GTR that was ever built-Yours!!

But thanks for the input!!

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Hah!

I know yeah, so this R32 GTR for $34K is a better deal

[Marlin]

Glaze, as an outsider looking in you're only wanting to listen to guys with the opinion of this vehicle that you want to read, that opinion being, that it's a good buy!

If you really do love it, and think it's worth that kind of money, then buy it!

Every item on the face of the planet is worth precisely what someone is prepared to pay for it

[Ten Four]

^Exactly.

Mate just when it comes time to sell, don't expect the world for it...

[glaze]

Ten Four, I have owned 4 GTRs before including an rare only edition in OZ GTR, so I know it will be a struggle to sell, but I am looking at this to be a keeper.

Marlin, I want to hear of people's opinion on THIS car, not comparing it to their car or their cousin's car. I wanted to know more about the perceived value of the N1 gear and suspension components, as well as how clean this vechile is. I know it is not worth $34K, to me anyway, just wanted to get an approximate value.

I would also say it is worth approx $25K to me, so we will see how we go.

Thanks again for everyones input, greatly appreciated

[Marlin]

I think 25 is about the money, but the three different colours on the car are a worry for me personally.

[glaze]

Yes, I will be taking a good look and also trying to get in contact with the original owner, who is was high up in the NDOC, about the 3 diff colours.

Could be an issue for sure!!

[JH32]

and the M3 will stay exactly the same or increase over the next few years.

Anyway, as you and others have pointed out, the value of the car is limited to what a purchaser is willing to pay for it. Others here, many of whom have been on the boards for a long time, would be prepared to pay early to mid, and perhaps even high, twenties for it. That should give you a pretty good indication of ball park valuation. If you consider that the car is worth $35k, then go for it. I won't put a figure on the car and undermine the seller's attempt at selling his very neatly presenting car, but I think you should seriously consider the quantum of your offer. As someone pointed out however it does sound as though you have already made up your mind.
