From my experience...even decent 89 GTR's will need SOME work...mine is at 3.5K and counting on top of purchase price.

Good luck to all that are hunting. The more GTR's the merrier, I'd rather see an R32 GTR than a HSV Monaro.

now people start to know "you pay for what you get"

there is no cheap GTR,if you want good GTR,than you need to pay more money or you will get shit car,

i think for 89GTR you really need to pay $25000~$30000

93~94 around $35000~$40000

for R33GTR $42000 over,

if anything less than that,thats mean the car wont be very good,

Rubbish.

Word to Gojira i was goin to say the exact same thing hahha it is so true!!! You pay big now or you pay big down the track ask yourself why the car is so much cheaper especially if its cheaper from auction!!!!

believe or not the japs do know a good car when they see one and this will put more biders in the seats and push the price up... Sh!t when i bought my R the going rate for a very very cheap one was 40K so all consider yourself lucky if 35,000-40,000 is the top of the price range!!!

Rubbish.

LOL!

I couldn't have said it better myself.

How can you place an arbitrary 'line in the sand' for a GOOD or BAD GT-R?

You're saying all sub $42,000 R33 GT-R's are rubbish?

Or that a sub $30,000 R32 is rubbish?

I guess we all drive rubbish here...

T.

Im with gojira, s13drifter and to a certain extent MIU. Immaculate condition GTR's will cost more to purchase. Id like to believe the hype about cheap 89 GTR's being just as good as a 1994, but if I said I did I would be lying. Of the various people I know who have bought sub $20,000 GTR's, theyve had nothing but problems with them (with the exclusion of 1 person who did manage to pick up a genuinely nice example).

But theres always going to be a division of two groups on this subject, and it all comes down to personal opinion, which everyone is entitled too.

And before you bust out "the cars are checked in Japan" line, keep in mind whomever you are buying the car off is a business. Their first and primary interest is to make money. A distant second is making sure you get an ok car.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
