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.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
