Guys........ As someone who monitors the sale of R32 GT-R's quite regularly, I am surprised to see their levels in such low numbers.

Currently at time of posting there are only 25 cars available around Australia on Carsales/Carpoint.

This includes all variants of the model (ADM's, N1's, Nismo, V-Spec 1 & 2's).

http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/results.aspx?YearFromShort=1635&SearchAction=N&q=((((((Make%3d%5bNissan%5d%7b%26%7d(Model%3d%5bSkyline%5d%7b%26%7dBadge%3d%5bGT-R%5d))%7b%7c%7d(Make%3d%5bNissan%5d%7b%26%7d(Model%3d%5bSkyline%5d%7b%26%7dBadge%3d%5bGT-R+V-Spec%5d)))%7b%7c%7d(Make%3d%5bNissan%5d%7b%26%7d(Model%3d%5bSkyline%5d%7b%26%7dBadge%3d%5bGT-R+V-Spec+II%5d)))%26(((SiloType%3d%5bDealer+used+cars%5d%7cSiloType%3d%5bBrand+new+cars+in+stock%5d)%7cSiloType%3d%5bDemo+and+near+new+cars%5d)%7cSiloType%3d%5bPrivate+seller+cars%5d))%26Service%3d%5bCarsales%5d)%26Year%3drange%5b1980..1994%5d)&YearToShort=1665&sortby=Price

Only 4 cars are under $20,000 and one of those is $19,990.00.

On the other end, 10 cars are over $30,000.00.

To put things into perspective, on January 1 2012, there were 66. On January 1 this year there were 40.

The numbers consistently hovered around that level through 2013/14.

I also monitor the Japanese Auctions. Over 50% of the cars on offer are rated R. You get the occasional 3.5 very few 4's let alone anything above that.

I suspect we as Australians (private buyers and dealers) have little interest in bringing in cars rated 3 or lower.

As the Americans are now cranking up their demand buying anything in Japan built in 1989 and 1990 I can only see these numbers diminishing further.

I'd be keen on hearing from anyone looking for a car and there experience in finding one at the moment that meets their expectation.

Cheers,

Bob.

It's not that bad, this will decimate all after you put about fifteen grand in it or more, and if we have to, overnight parts from Japan

It would be funny if the Americans didn't buy many R32s, but waited for the R33 to become available and bulk buy them .

- Cause it's an older car, buyers want the best condition they can find.

- And with R Rated GTR's you have to question about it being road registered in AUS...

- I'd say so, their demands would be high cause they have waited so long before the R32's are road legal over there.

Check on gum tree, plenty of them on there and being sold for peanuts. I inspected 2 for people less then 6 months ago and they purchased them for 14k each!! One was an absolute gem of a car, the other was good but not great

There certainly are a lot of R32s being brought into the US now so I'm not surprised availability in Japan is getting scarcer. Pent-up demand was high no doubt because of the long wait and the Gran Turismo/Fast and the Furious crowd is hitting a time where they can afford these cars as well. In the four trips I made to my importer they pretty much sold another R32 to someone each time I was there. They had sold about 10 Nismos alone - no idea how many of the more common versions they must have sold. I know a guy who just privately imported a Nismo and a regular GT-R and sold them immediately. One of the writers on Jalopnik just got one himself so from all indications a staggering number of R32s are making their way Stateside.

That's also because carsales is failing for anything that isn't a new camry.

All the skylines are on gumtree now.

Most cars on gumtree are utter dirtboxes, if the owner can't even shell out $50 for an advert then what else haven't they shelled out for

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
