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.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
