What is a fair market price for my R32 GTR? It is a 1992 model, Red, imported, approximately 150,000km.

When it was imported it came with a good quality Jap catback, 18" Enkei wheels and HKS coilovers.

Since then I have upgraded the coilpacks, ignition module, clutch and fuel pump.

Replaced clutch because it was slipping, replaced the rest because of the standard skyline misfire. Turned out in my case to be the ignition module.

Overall the car is in a good condition for its age, I wouldn't say that it is immaculate but it's certainly not as rough as some 1992 examples.

I'm not in a rush to sell, but at the same time I don't want it to be sitting on the market for a year while people wait for the price to drop and drop.

I live in a regional area, population of about 200,000. There are no other GTR's on the market here at the moment, or for some time now.

The sale price will include a Nistune chip, software, cable and wideband AFR meter. None have these have ever been installed on the car.

So what is a fair price that it will sell for?

Hard to say, regional áreas usually sell for more to people of your town for example, but then your really limited, how far from a major city are you, and how many are for sale there in what price range. Somewhere between 15-18 I'd say, maybe even 20 but it would have to be very clean.

Even at the lower end you still might have a hard time selling it, I'd say around 17, it's all about the pics you say and how you advertise it

Yeah, personally I was thinking around 15k. Like I said, there are no others for sale locally that I know of, so in some ways that should work in my favour. On the other hand, could mean that there is not much demand locally. There is a r33 gtr locally for 20k. The closest r32 gtr for sale is 400km away with 17k on it., there is also a r33 gtr for sale there for 18k. About 600km away there are two r32 gtrs for sale listed at 20k, although they are heavily modified by the looks of it.

15k -17k

there ara plenty on the market for 20k but they drop their price pretty quick. it is a car that will hold its value, but its hard to say what that "value" is.. they are only worth what people are willing to pay, and fortunately/ unfortunately 16k s about the price at the moment.

i have been watching the 32 gtr market VERY closely for the last 6 months as im ready to buy onemy self

yeah me too, cant believe I'll be buying another RB powered car

you will have to get that toyota tattoo of yours removed then mate. have you factored that into the purchase price of ya gtr?

I've been trying to sell my 32 GTR for a while on Carsales and there are bugger all queries. (car ID SSE-AD-282156)

Like the original query - it's not 'as new', but the car is pretty damn good. Considering it's a Racepace setup car, I'm surprised it hasn't gone yet.

I reckon the market is around $15k or less (unless it has some big ticket items, or something really special).

something tells me that the ones that sell are usually highly modified good examples with alot of the fruit taken care of at the right price, rebuilds and exc cond ect, it seems anything over 20 without a rebuild is stugleing out there these days. not only that, but people are not spending as much.

the fact that if its not rebuilt and will need to be soon deters people from purchasing them, especially the r32 range. my recomendation is clean it up as much as you can, borrow a freinds slr, and take the best pivtures possible. comp test recipts wont hurt either

jzp, not sure if yours is the gun metal grey one for 22900 or something rather, but that seems to be a fantastic looking example, and it does look good in those pics, but if i were you, id see if i could lend a pair of rims and get it out of the driveway, it will sell, if you do take some new pics, try and keep it in the shade, pics of cars come up better in the shade IMO

if its not yours hehe, then its not i guess

Nah, not the one going for that much - mine is advertised at $16,900. It's silver, but don't want to detract from the original post.... (if you want to see it, just search the vehicle ID on carsales)...

JZP, can I ask how long you have had it advertised for and what your initial listing price was? You probably don't want to post that information on the public area here, but if you could PM it to me that would be useful. I think perhaps the lack of a RWC is holding you back from selling it? I'm going to be getting a RWC for mine because most buyers are just not interested in taking that risk.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
