Hi all,

Just joined, so do forgive me if posting a 'hello' post is not allowed or if I'm doing this in the wrong section.

Anyway I joined as I'm a Sydney-sider looking to buy an R32 GT-R and (in addition to everything I've already read here) any advice is more than welcome.

I've also seen several cars for sale here but the threads have since gone cold, so I'm hoping to be around for the next one that pops up and grabs my attention.

Mechatronic engineer - F1 aficionado - former F3 mechanic - motorsport purist.

Cheers,

James.

Welcome James!!!

Hopefully you find a good one!!

After standard or slightly modified or fully worked??

Stalk the for sale thread as one will pop up in no time

Hope to see you at events one day

[GTR-N1]

I echo what Nick says James

[JamesM]

Thanks gents,

Either is fine really but if modified (be it slightly or worked) it has to be clean with appropriate documentation.

Will primarily be a track car for a few outings per year but that doesn't mean I want to be doing any form of major rework (unless the price is right).

does it have to be a 32?

and a gtr?

mark is selling his 33, very cheap for what it is.

have seen it in the flesh, car is meticulous.

Doesn't need to be a 32, but I don't want a 33 (nothing personal, just don't like the look of them), and a 34 is most likely out of my budget so I'm left with 32. I do have a sweet spot for their look though, I must say.

GT-R is preferred, yes.

Sweet spot for the 32, that is.

Benji, give yourself an uppercut! There are plenty of clean examples out there...

Wait............Since when??

[FeZ25]

Been playing with the idea of stepping into a 32gtr over the 34gtt.

Still early days and might not end up doing it.

Cheaper to modify by a long shot! Just get Benji to help you pick one

He'll be my #1 info source.

Good information isn't far away.

Yep I'll soon let you know the originality of the panel gaps, whether all the seams are in tact, which panels have copped a fresh lick of paint, and a quick look under the car will show whether the car has had structural damage etc.

Now make yourself useful and go help James find a nice GTR!
