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?

A lot of the ones on car sales have been there for a fair while so either they r shit and over priced or people are not prepared to pay the prices

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.

R33 GT-Rs are perfect looking in front of a convex mirror! :)

$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.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
