Just thought I might buy another GT-R after a 10 year hiatus building career and not touching cars after I sold my GT-R in 2007 for 26K?.  These numbers are insane, while I now have financial security I doubt I can convince myself to part with double the money for something similar.  Perhaps a 33 or 34 GT-R is an option instead if they haven't gone bananas as well  :down:  

There used to be 40+ 32 GT-Rs for sale in QLD, now its about 5 on carsales.  Are we really exporting all these to the yanks similar to Japan once was to us back in my day? or are they being crashed or hoarded since I last looked?

Edward Lees cars with dodgy history have to resurface somewhere sometime.

R34s are worse than R33s in terms of price jumps. R33s are climbing as well, but better to buy a 33 IMO.

Have never liked the 33's but the numbers are starting to win me over.  No R32's worth looking at under $35,000, but there seems to still be a few good deals for 20-30K for R33 GTR's.  Surely you cant go too wrong with a well picked 33 especially when they start being imported to the USA in a few years.

R33 chassis is better than the R32. You can see the improved structural and aero bits. In hindsight, I should've waited a year and bought an R33 GT-R lol.

You would be in the minority to pick an R33 GTR over an R32 GTR..

Re Chassis:- Kurosawa explained this quite clearly as he compared the R32 GT-R to the R33 GT-R prior to taking the latter around Nurburgring in 8'01". 

The R32 GT-R could never get close to that.

i love my R32 and wouldnt swap it for a 33.

however im seriously thinking about buying a good R33 GTR while their cheap.

I'd be lying if I said that thought hadn't crossed my mind too......I'm just in the same boat (excuse the pun ;) ) as most other 32/34 fans, the 33 has never done it for me, only the series 3 midnight purple gets the juices flowing somewhat...

In terms of looks, nostalgia etc, R32 always. But the R33 is a better engineered car (since they had time to improve on things). If only it wasn't so bloated looking :(

Plus, the R32 electronics shit me lol damn HICAS.

$145k? I realise that it is worth whatever someone wants to pay but are prices really getting that high?

I'm pretty sure a few months ago this car was forsale for $66k. not sure what happened.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
