Do you have a RWC for it? I'm just about to put an R32 GTR on the market myself, although mine is almost stock. One thing I noticed while researching values is that not one of the GTRs I looked at on carsales had a RWC. I didn't look at all of them, but there were certainly a large number of cars being sold "as is". I would never buy a car that didn't have a RWC and I think it is only fair to have one prior to even advertising it online. No one wants to get jerked around waiting for you to sort out a RWC; if they have the cash they will want the car immediately.

Good luck with your sale anyway, remember it is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Most cars are not investments, you will typically lose a lot of what you have put into it.

Thanks Richard. I like it to. As for Godzillagtr32's comment mine will come with a rwc but if you have been looking at putting one on the market you will be aware that they are a specialty car for a certain market (unless it is a 15k piece of junk) therefore take a bit of time to sell so getting a rwc is a waste of time as you will only have to go through it all again when it sells. The other thing is if it is sold interstate (which is where most of my interest is coming from) the rwc means nothing. Either way if you bought a car like this or any car for that matter without getting a mechanic you trust to look at it first you would have rocks in your head. Anyone can get a dodgy rwc. If you are selling yours then you are probably not interested in mine so thanks for your comments but the car would be for sale for 60k if i was trying to get back what i spent on it so im aware they are not an investment!!

I wouldn't be too concerned. It will sell but times are tight and the market has plummeted.

Your definately in the ball park SLWR32 for a sale @ $28.5k

Not many appreciate the effort, expen$e, blood, sweat and yes even tears of a nice R32 GTR.

People who have them it's like ripping your heart out when they put them up For Sale.

The cost of rebuild and addons people dont really value. They look for a running GTR.

However, they will value the longevity of a good rebuild and will pay well for this. If their smart they will

An R32 GTR that hasn't been rebuilt isn't far away from needing one. Anything over 100,000kms is a ticking time bomb.

Most who buy one under $20k find that within 1-3 months the ceramic turbos shit themselves, the oil starvation does a big end bearing, rust shows through, suspension is shot etc....

So now we have the cost of the rebuild. Bought it for $15k add between 8k stock rebuild to $20k good forgie, add new Turbos etc.... So now you have a GTR between $25k and $40+k.

Yeah I'd buy a good rebuilt forged R32 GTR for around $30k if I didn't already have one that's cost close to 6 figures after 2 rebuilds.

You could post interior pics and engine bay pics for those seriously interested tho.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
