hi guys,

im stuck & need advice...i am not happy with my r32gtr shell so im pulling all of my running gear out of it & tossing the shell - more than likely will keep the engine as it owes me 25k & probably sell the interior, diff etc.

i am on the search & here are my 2 options (both are at similar price point):

1. red 94 r32gtr: forged bottom end, -5's, nismo wheels

OR

2. white 94 r32gtr vspec2: stock bottom end, -7's, volk wheels

which would be a better buy? i can see that i'd make more money from selling the forged engine etc on the red gtr, however, the vspec2 is more of an icon & better for resale i guess...what are your thoughts? this is doing my head in ARRRRGH :)

i can also say that the red gtr is cleaner, but the white gtr just needs a bit of tlc to have it look as nice

regards

i put together a quick analysis & after selling parts i'd naturally get a lot more back with the red gtr...the difference is over 5k

from this, it will cost me an additional 5k to have a vspec2 which doesn't sound too bad really...

VS2 and how good are you at haggling? VINs noted and Checked for rust?

BTW, how do you know that the 2 owners aren't on SAU (assuming these are already in Oz)? If they are, they'll vote for their own car eh? :P

hi all,

i had the white vspec2 inspected a few days ago, the chassis rails & sills are badly pushed in...can these be repaired or should i stay clear?

also has rust under the n1 boot lid (on the actual boot lid itself, rust straight thru), under the passenger mirror in the door sill itself, rear 1/4 guard arch & the bonnet paint is lifting off the alloy bonnet near the n1 front lip, wtf!

i also looked at the red gtr (non vspec) & the condition is incredible - very nice indeed :) reminds me of my aust delivered gtr which i had a few yrs back

Yes chassis rails can be repaired depending on how badly damaged they are. The can also be replaced but both repairing and replacing is a big job. I think your better off going with the normal GTR for the same price cause if you get the V-spec its going to cost a fair bit of coin to get it all fixed up to a standard that your happy with the car

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
