Need advice

[stevo~]

Hey all

Early next year i plan on selling the old holden and getting a Skyline. Anyhow i'am after some advice on what to get, as a majority of current owners would have already been down this road?

Im leaning towards a r32/33 GTS-T Manual, and purchasing it down south.

1. which is better r32 or r33? and why?

2. Rough what i could get with a budget of 20k

3. obvious/common things to look out for and avoid?

4. One last thing should i get a car with mods already done IE- exhaust and intercooler if possible or stock as and do the work as i feel the need for speed?

ill find out tomorrow for you ok

For $22k you could get an 1989 R32 GTR.

For around $12k you could get an 89 R32 GTST.

Import yourself.

Soon as you go above 1990 you're talking compliance so add $2k onto the price, and go through the hassles of trying to find a stock standard car as you can't get modified ones complied.

I bought a R33 series 2 - gtst - auto. few months back. Imported it through a broker in SVI in Brissie... They did the compliance for about $1,600... Car had 23k only on the clock...Nice and standard for all up handed to me for $19,000......... Really wrapped with the car..... lYou know where I saw this car and gave the broker the go ahead to buy I bought the f/en thing for 6000,000 yen converted to $7,700 Aust....thats all it cost over there. Thanks to protection for Ford and Hodlen they added about 10,500 in import tax.

Still was a very good buy for 19g. I've since added a pwr FMICooler and turbo smart boost gauge.. to 9 psi only and a uni filter GTR foam filter in the stock air box..

See ya on the road guys, mine is blue/ purple colour plated with "series2"

have seen a few GTRS in perth go for 19K both stock and fairly clean.

Surely that can't possibly be an imported and on road price? Even the importers sell them for more than that.

UNless they are poor examples.

Got a URL? I know someone that would buy 20 at that price

Hey Craig,

Nice to hear you are still alive!!. I dont think I have have seen a "nice clean" 89 gtr for under 20k. I had a look at importing a heap of these, started looking for them 18 months ago. I have a few offered to through my supplier in Japan but nothing that was good enough to resell. I would be very careful about purchasing an 89 gtr. If anything goes wrong with a gtr get ready for a bank loan.

my 2 cents,

Ken

Be careful about who you buy it through too. Clearly "runs well" doesn't extend to f*d turbos. $4k later.....

Cheers for ya help guys.
