Hi guys, been a while since I've posted, but I'm still lurking about.

Ive been keeping an eye out, browsing classifieds etc, but still haven't decided to buy anything.

I have however noticed huge discrepancies in pricing on what seem like fairly similar cars, particularly with V-Specs. Prices are all over the place.

Here's two examples, one has a few mods, but the other, the cheaper one is more original.

This one looks cleaner, but is $10K less? Surely the one above isn't 10K better?

These are just two examples, I've found a number, the same goes for r33's but not really looking for one of those...

Easily repainted?

Don't like clear corner indicators though...

Lol, theres a place in Perth that import GTRs. On every one of them the paint is mint.

Its such a stupid thing to be putt off by. Anyone can paint them. Hell, my old car had a bit of paint coming off it, yet it was a fresh engine - some people don't care.

Fair enough, I realise it's easy to hide... I'm just being super picky

That second R32 Vspec you linked is mine. I do have import paperwork with the ks that are on it. Its a very honest and tidy car. Im a bit surprised it hasnt sold, I wouldnt if I didnt have my eye on something else.

Paint on the plenum can be a guide, but the reality is that if its been pressure washed at all in the engine bay the paint is the first to go. Wouldnt be that hard to touch up, if your that way inclined. Look for signs of overspray, if its all fesh looking and black, cause its very unlikely to have been removed to be painted, unless the engine is out.

Looks good mate, and well priced by comparison to others around. Its a buyers market right now, supply outweighs demand. Good luck with it.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
