I am in the market for another GTR and have noticed that prices have gone up on R33 GTR's.

What should I suspect to pay for a MNP Series 3 R33 GTR, $25k-$30k?

12-18 months ago, you could pick one up for high teens....

I was originally looking at R34 GTR's but prices look like they have gone through the roof after looking at the Japan Auctions!!

$30k too expensive for a 20 year old car? A neat vn ss these days is $15k lol

Agreed.

Not even mentioning that a brand new 33 GTR would have been a $120k+ car when new.

$30k would be a steal for a well looked after late model 33.

Prices on R33 GTrs seems to have been slowly rising. having a look on gumtree and carsales, you will be paying about 23-25k for a good S1 and getting upwards of 26-28 for a S3, upwards of that for limited edition ones like my LM in the pic (thanks James 10 4 )

I wouldn't pay anything less than that as they are a time bomb or will be spending heaps to get it back up to a good quality car.

And someone buy my MP Gtr

I agree, R32's seem to have skyrocketed the last few years coincidentally with similar timings to the US now being able to import them.

Also, I guess 20-25 years is the age when a car goes from being a 'dorky car from a few years ago' to a relative classic. If it's stood the test of time and is still as popular as what the GT-R's are, then they're destined to go up in price.

Hi Guys........ I've kept a note of how many R32 GTR's have been for sale on Carsales/Carpoint over the last few years. Please note this does not include other avenues such as Gumtree etc. Just this one medium........Australia wide including all models of GT-R's. (Standard, V-spec I and II's, Nismos and N1's).

  • On January 1 2012 - 66
  • On January 1 2013 - 42
  • On January 1 2014 - 43
  • On January 1 2015 - 40
  • On January 1 2016 - 16

You can see the big drop during 2012 and a massive drop during 2015.

The same thing will happen with 33's and 34's but bare in mind, they made a hell of a lot less cars in those 2 models than 32's.......

Bob.

that's a huge drop isn't it,

I think there is about 4 r33 GTRs on carsales all 25k and above and maybe 6 on gumtree but some of them may have been sold or are advertised on carsales as well.

I've had some interest from people over east on my MP GTR so they are definitely low in numbers.

    • 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.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
