What are the best places to start looking for a nice condition R32 GTR other than online car sites and the trading post.

Are there places where you can place an order and they will import a car for you and offer warranty.

Would appreciate any links to such places or names of such places so I can give them a call for some quotes. :headspin:

Dunno about anyone else, but the guys at www.gtprojects.com are great and i also checked out the peoples at http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/

they don't really do quotes though, they can give you a rough idea of what they think they can get you a r32 gtr for thou, no exact $.

to give you a bit of an idea, gtr's in japan (correct me if im wrong) start at about (aus)$12,000 landed in aust, but i don't think i would wish one of them on my worst enemy, at that price they would have to have been thrashed quite a bit.

there is a good article in no. 46 of HPI (High Performance Imports Mag) that talks about importing a 1989 r32 gtr, what to look for and what not. I think HPI say that you would want to pay about $(aus)25,000 on road for a good r32 gtr (1989)

get the mag and read thou.

hope this helps

decent R32 GTR's start at $18,000. for that price many have reconditioned engines, and i wouldnt import one if it didnt coz you need to remember they are 15 year old engines and that can be a problem, especially if its done over 200,000 km.

I think Jspec and prestiege motorsport and the best import companies around...

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
