Hi Guys,

I have not been on the forums for a long time.

I also have not been in the import scene for a while (driving VE HSV Senator atm) - and I was thinking - maybe I should get myself an R33 GTR V-Spec (had a few in my time).

What I noticed is......why are there basically no late models of some of these imports any more?

To explain myself - there are;

* only 2 R33 GTR for sale on carsales which are 1997 - 1998 models. Only 1 Series 3 in Australia? What the?

* only 4 R32 GTR V-Specs for sale on carsales.

(even post 97 RZ Supras seem to be rare?!?!)

there used to be lots of them! where are they now? have they been run off a cliff? set on fire? or is nobody selling for some strange reason?

or did it have something to do with the tsunami washing cars away and destroying the japanese re-sale market (pardon my ignorance, but I have no idea why there are so few...even though there are no end of Skylines in general).

Given the lack of choice locally - and I can't even see them on the forums for sale here - perhaps I should just import one?

Can anyone tell me what the likely selling price (FOB) for a Grade 4 to 4.5 A or B would be for either a;

94 R32 V-Spec 2, or a

97-98 R33 GTR V-Spec

perhaps importing is a better way to go if there are none suitable here....

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
