Hi all,

I'm considering selling my 240Z circuit car and the potential buyer wants to give his R32 GTR as a part trade.

Here is the link to where he has it for sale at the moment.

http://www.boostcrui...howtopic=662563

I'm just wondering what you guys think I could sell it for here in Tassie? Keeping in mind I would want to move it on fairly quickly.

How is the market for GTR's down here at the moment? Are they selling quickly or sitting around?

Anyway, any input would be appreciated

Cheers,

Shane

I doubt the car would sell quickly unless it went for 10k or so. Oherwise they would have been able to sell it now and give you the money.

I love GTR's and own an r32 but in reality they are just getting very cheap even for great cared for cars. But the one you are looking at is an early 89 and to be honoest you could better than the car your looking at (unless it is under 12K). You spend another 5-8K and you could start looking at some real impressive gtr's.

I'm not trying to bag the car your looking at bt thats my opinion.

Anyway a 240z is still highly desireable. Is yours race car only or does it have rego and can be street driven? From your avitar looks quite nice. Put some pics up. What sort of money you chasing out of curiosity?

Thats not a $21k GT-R.

I'd run a mile looking at the cack handed paint touchups in the engine bay. Not to mention every bit of trim which would show the BS 90k claim up has been replaced...

Looks like a tarty $10k car. Is it 1989?

Thanks for the input guys. I didn't realise the market for GTR's had dropped out so badly! I have no intention of keeping his car, if I get it, it will be up for sale straight away.

Sounds like it might be best if I just try to get him to sell his car and pay cash for mine then.

It is on SI rego and I had it engineered with the L28 turbo engine and roll cage. I've upgraded the brakes and put bigger wheels on since it was engineered though.

I'm chasing a bit over $30K for it. If he won't pay that then I'm happy to let it sit in the shed and keep collecting dust unitl I can afford to use it again.

It's done 59.2 around Baskerville, 1:00.1 around Symmons and 1:48.9 around Phillip Island. 2nd in Targa B for the 2007 state series, 1st for Targa B in 2008 & 2nd for Targa A in 2009.

it is probably worth 21k to someone...

but if i was to spend 21k on a R32 GTR it would want to have all the supporting mods to push 350-400kw

have a look on carsales to see what mods a 20k GTR goes for...

apart from the body work, which personally i think its worse than a stock gun metal GTR, it hasn't got much done..

would need a lot of rockets under those covers to be worth his asking price IMO....

your car on the otherhand....worth every cent

Thanks guys, I thought his car might be worth around $16K so I'm very glad I got your input. I was way off the mark!

I told him what cash I'd require on top of his car based on what you guys have said and I think I offended him so the 240Z can keep collecting dust for now ;)

the value of mint late model 32 GTR can still fetch 25k easily

i wouldnt go near a clapped out 89 model for 20k especially if it had been sprayed in some hektik colour and even if it had supporting mods for 300kw.

I paid little over $20k for an 89 a year ago... it was either an 89 or 94 - the first or the last of the R32 GTR, didn't want the inbetweeners and preferred the first.

if I didn't have my car and I'm looking for an R32 GTR now I'd still be willing to pay between $20k-$25k for a clean standard or well modified one(no bling paintjob wheels etc)... wouldn't look at spending any less!

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
