^^Gonna make my N1 look like a bargain when I put it up for sale...

Also makes this look pretty cheap...bought it for a customer a couple of weeks back...

One thing to consider is that next year R32's can be imported to the US. So there will be a increase in demand. There were only 40,000 R32 GTR's made. That's not many when you have to supply the whole world.

Correct - virtually every 1989 model is already gone in Japan, US guys are stockpiling already...

I find this very interesting......... I'm a bit surprised more hasn't been made of this.

I wasn't sure how much demand there is for a 25 year old car, especially knowing how much work is required in getting them up to scratch.

Does anybody know of a US website that talks about these cars or any of the hype about having them next year etc?

Thanks......

There's a North American version of GTROC somewhere, mostly full of Canadians and jealous Seppos. One of my agents in Japan (who is from Texas and keen to cash in) said 1989 models have already risen about 50% at auction, they're even starting to look at 1990 models...

can i just add to this...not only will GTRs be worth money there is a good chance the humble GTS-T will become quite sort after as well...

With the every growing popularity of the drift scene these cars are one by one being picked up and thrashed into oblivion...

Now just like Mustangs and Monaros, think about how many of these kids will be suffering some kind of mid life crisis in 20-30 odd years have cash in the bank, will want to regain a handle on their youth and will be prepared to pay just about anything to find a clean example...of which there will be almost none left...

people are stashing GTRs away in there sheds as we speak and many of them will sit there for years...but how many people would think to do the same with a non GTR model...next to none I bet...as they are seen as somewhat inferior by many...yes I understand that there will never be a huge profit at the end of the day in any case...but really, how many people do actually make a BIG profit from selling one car..very few...Is the profit worth the storage fees, depends how much you are paying for storage I guess....

Even more sought after again will be the S-chassis cars....Anyway thats my prediction for the future...you read it here first folks... :P

R32 in near new condition already are quite collectible in Japan. I think the same will happen here but to a lesser degree. I see them as similar to the e30 M3, Sierra RS500, etc as they are all Group A homologation cars.

To me the 32 will fetch good prices for a clean stock model. But in many years to come it will be the 34 that will fetch the money especially in Bayside blue.

Reasoning to this. The 32 will always be the iconic rise of Godzilla. But its the playstation age of the Bayside Blue R34 and the massive iconic peak of the best Godzilla that will see the 34 trump the 32 in price.

The 33GTR will never see anywhere near the prices and the GTST models will never be worth anything.

I think everyone's opinion is important, so here is the translation (google's, not mine) of the above;

"To achieve profit growth Leafs pay well under the whistle Groth Between Species Lay Protest Media Pass II disapproval Tie Color Vision III Many educated Fill chamber Mall Pub Mount and chat Carrots and Mixed Event Monitor II Pleasure Turn adhesive barrier and sharp personality Rounding Jack West Wrong Person Shave Suck intellegent Forest Health Movement Pleasure Ball II presents advertising for businesses Federal retirement Annoyed customer Charge pregnant Polish Power Irritating Bear And Gift Buying Individual Sheet Harbour II flow Unit scissors River Historical Military Costume Strain remember flying Offer recording Arts Deftly Universe Aunt Lead Inquiry Nice way to Friendship enthusiastic driver Advertising Cold Diet analysis Environment Landscape singer dot Taxi normal organ Internet."

Interestingly I just saw on carsales that The Toy Shop are trying to get $50K for a 1990 GTR.

Sure it's only done 10,000 kms but that is serious coin.

Wouldn't pay up in that region for a non-ADM GTR.

No we're not.

  • 5 weeks later...

Interesting. I'm excited to see how the market goes for those old R32s... Will they be like the hakosuka?<br /><br />Sent from my SC-03D<br /><br />

I guess an owner's perspective might be different.

Apart from being owned by 2 mature aged guys...

* it's lost 40% in depreciation

* it's pretty spotless

* it's done less than 32,000Km

* it's a collectible

Interested to know what you'd sell it for?

Ex Skaife - $130k (14000kms)

The one above $85k (32000kms)

Personally, if I could afford any of them, I'd buy and ship the 32 GTR in Japan with 2000kms for $60k.

I'm bias towards mine being worth more than I could get too.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
