Recently looking, been following the newspaper, forums and other means of advertisements and noticed a huge decrease in GTR Prices. I looked at a couple of R32's today. Each for sale at 25k. One being a 91 mod the other a 93mod. Both pretty standard though one with abit higher K's then the other. There are also a few GTR's in the Trading post under 30k. Prodiminently (no idea how 2 spell that word) R32 GTRs. A friend is also selling an immac r33 96 vpsec with under 80k on the clock in white with 19s deep dish for 35k.

Is it just me or has the 89 model GTR's caused such a decrease in value of the GTR??

to pick up a good condition 89 model R32 it would cost about 20K landed. paying the extra 5k for a car thats newer but has had more thraashing isnt worth it..

so id just buy a nice 89 gtr if i was going to buy a GT-R.

R33's start price is 35K for one that isnt too special.. ive seen stock ones 1995 vspec for 42K.. what you pay is what you get.

a clean r33 will never be less then 40k on average.

I personally wouldn't buy an R32 GTR for anything less than about $26-28k for quality reasons.

Likewise, in fact, that's what I did :(

I think Australian local prices are starting to fall in line with Japanese prices. However, I expect prices to plateu in the 20K range for quite a while.

LW.

well the R32 gtr that im importing i got checked out from a friend. its costing me 23k landed not including orcs etc, its clean and more clean then ANY and i mean ANY R32 that ive seen in australia that is 1992,3,4 etc.

its got 60,000km's that are gen and all have been logged into original Service books. totaly stock standard exhaust is even still on the car, the only thing thats been changed is the CD player and Seat to a more comfy Recaro :(

Well, GT-Rs havnt dropped a Penny.. people just drop them for financial reasons.

well its May.. lot of overseas students return from studying in australia soon.. tend to sell them off before they go back.

And a few i think are hoping to sell incase the 89 GTR prices bring the prices of R32 GTR in general down (which I don't think is going to happen much anyhow).

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
