Hey i spent several hours yesterday searching and reading on this forum trying to find info on current values of Bnr32s and Bcnr33s that are reasonably stock with low km, no repair history and full japanese logbook history, however, i was unable to answer a couple of questions. Please note as there is plenty of info available on ADM and N1 values, my question is strictly related to JDM models (excluding N1).

-What is the market value in Aus for Bnr32 and Bcnr33 GTR, V spec and V spec2 (r32) respectively, with under 100km, no damage and full jap, and Aus (if applicable) service history.

-What has a greater impact upon value - higher spec or lower Km e.g a 50 000km r32 gtr vs a 100 000km V spec 2?

I look forward to reading your replies, Cheers Jason

Hey mate I'm sure someone will chime in with something more substantial later but a stock as a rock 1990 GT-R with 76,000km and full jap service history sold on carsales for $17,000. I'm guessing around the 20k mark though.

Better off talking to someone like Iron Chef to get a clean car imported. There's an R33 LM for sale around here. Have you looked in the for sale section? I saw a couple of R33 V Specs on there. Most likely the odometer has been changed/wound back on an import, so finding one will be difficult.

Sounds much cheaper than i would have thought.

Hey mate, yep check the for sale section regularly.

I haven't pinned down which model yet, let alone spec, so just trying to get some info before going further. I will keep Iron chef in mind though.

Would be great to get some more people's input.

Cheers

I've just about finished refurbishing my R32 GT-R V-spec 2 and the all up cost is about $27K. It has done 106,000 kms.

This is now a turn key car with 271rwkw (Unigroup did the tune) but looks totally stock except for the bigger exhaust.

I've even put the original radio cassette player in it for nostalgic looks but it does have some sensational Rockford Fosgate

speakers under the original covers.

You will get a pretty average car for $17K but my expectations and others may not be the same.

I sold a very nice std 1990 GT-R back in October for $25K so realistically that's what you need to spend to get something pretty good.

Here are a couple of pics of my new car, the tint has since been removed.

Cheers,

Bob.

Someone on here suggested that example had significant accident damage repairs: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/440915-wtb-mint-r32-gtr/

It was on CarSales for a long time, strange given how good it appeared on paper.

Thanks Bob, appreciate the input.

From what i have read you know Bnr32s as well, if not better than anyone on SAU. What do you think i can expect to pay for a completely original Vspec2 with no repair history and full books in Australia?

Also are there many cars that would fit this description kicking about over here?

I appreciate the kind words but there are others here with excellent knowledge on the subject too.....

To best answer your question, I have attached a spreadsheet of recent V-Spec 1 and 2 auction sales where the cars were rated to at least a grade 4 level.

The long and the short of it is that you will get little change out of $35K. That's for a sub 60,000 kms car with no repair damage, documented history and books in original condition.

Finding a car locally is near impossible and as prices increase in Japan, the Australian delivered versions become more appealing. As a lot of us know, a 31,000 kms ADM sold at Shannons auction last November for $50K.

It should have sold for more, the buyer got a bargain and a half.

3 years earlier, I bought my 54,000 kms ADM for $53K so that gives you a rough idea of their values.

A couple of forum members currently have their ADM's for sale but having considerably higher mileage, they are yet to find new homes.

I hope this helps......... Bob.

Well my completely stock 1994 VSpec2 with documented 17,300 kms, Grade 5A, full books and service history nudged $42K by the time I got it in my garage........ (that'd be the car in line 8 on the spreadsheet ;-)

Similar to the car's quality/newness then of Cherry Racer.

Yup Cherry Racer's came in a couple of months earlier from Iron Chef as well- he has 34,000 kms from memory.....

Nice car as well.

Yep........ I've seen Chris's car....... STUNNING!

Iron Chef was a bit of a bastard (tongue firmly in cheek) - he sent me the pictures of Cherry Racer's car as an example of the type of car he could get for my budget........

Needless to say when I saw those, I had to get something similar ;-)

Very happy with my car and worth the money (if you ask biased me ;-)

The ADM gtr is it basically a JDM v spec or v spec 2 ,the ADM cars were over a 100000 new when they were released , is there much difference between ADM and JDM, which one would be the go to collect if the condition and mileage was similar.

Bob you have answered my questions down to a tee, and i really appreciate the extra effort on your behalf in posting that spreadsheet. It was very helpful. Thanks again :cheers:

Thanks a lot for your input. Both your R32 and Cherry Racer's look awesome!!!

I am also quite fond of Bob's ADM . Must be one of the nicest ones going around!

Wow that's surprising, I was wondering why nobody snapped it up.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
