well my buisness idea has fallen through so now that ive got some cash lying around its time to buy a car and your opinion would help. im looking for AWD turbo and i dont like EVO's.

so here are my options.

1. WRX

2. R32 GTR

3. or wait till summer is over and the good driving times are over and buy a r33 GTR june or july next year?

my real fear is DEPRECIATION (think i spelt it wrong) but yes i hate that word and i relise that somthing is only worth what some one is willing to pay for it.

from the 3 i have noted, i feel that the R32 has done most of its depriciating and realisticly wont fall bellow the 18 or 20 mark in 2 to 3 years. or am i wrong?

any comments would be greatly appreciated.

if depreciation scares you then it's time to buy a $500 commodore and accept it.

Car's are not a good investment and you buy them to drive and not make money on.

BTW, the R32 GTR are not likely to depreciate any time soon with the 15 year old import rule going.

WRX are quick in the hands of any driver. Having own one before, they're very forgiving if you make a mistake. Boring if you ask me cause it understeers.

GTR however, will punish you for mistreating it. Drive it right and it's more fun.

You never will know about depreciation. It could drop below those marks.

If you want, you can have mine for $25k. 1993 R32 GTR. :)

all cars depreciate... it just depends on the degree of depreciation. Your right, a car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it and cars are no exception. They are subject to the normal forces of supply and demand.

Go the R32 GTR... it will depreciate over the next few years but nowhere near the amount for the R33 GTR, mainly due to the discrepancies with the importing laws and DOTARS

great answer...

i know someone with a $300 VK if your interested .. it won`t depreciate much from there

yeah might look in to the commodore more a VB or somthing like that lol

well thanx alot guys i think the GTR is the best way to go i used to have a R33 GTST and i loved that so i might need just to sacrifice the age difference and settle for the power and control. thanx again.

Get the 32 GT-R and with the left over money spend it on re-conditioning it that way its reliable.

Like everyones said, a car is just for driving, not an investment. But in terms of rationability the 32 would be the go (its so old that its not going to depreciate at the same rate as that of the WRX or R33 GT-R. Any car you have you are going to lose money on. Except for antique cars but thats a different league altogether.

Go the 32 GT-R

    • Driveability will be about the same with either externally venting BOV, or no BOV at all. Perhaps worse one way than the other, with me thinking that the definitely more flow going through the AFM through a venting BOV more likely to cause rich stalls than the perhaps more flow that the AFM might read on reversion. There is no such thing as "turbo damage" from not having a BOV at stock, or even quite a lot higher than stock, power levels. You need a big turbo with a lot of mass spinning hard getting a horrible slowdown from a slammed shut throttle before there is anything like the shaft loads required to damage things. Not an issue on small turbos. The ONLY 2 reasons that Nissan put a recirc valve onto the RB were: It is a bypass valve. It is open when under vacuum. When not on boost, it bypasses intake air forward around the compressor, which unloads the compressor, allowing the turbine to sping more freely, making the whole lot a bit more efficient when just puddling around. Throttle response should also be faster via the shorter, smaller diameter BOV pipe (when in NA, ie before the BOV closes and boost is building) which is nicer for driveability. Emissions. The reversion causes CO pulses. Eliminate the reversion (or at least, keep it away from the AFM) and you don't get that. The stalling/driveability aspect could have been tuned around, as shown one example of by dose above, if Nissan hadn't put a recirc valve on. Many many turbo engines before the RB had no BOV. They did not stall. See the RB30 turbo as an example. Nistune is definitely better than just stock ECU. It allows you to access and change things that are not excellent on the stock setup, and allows you to do mods like put decent injectors in, relocate the AFM, put a bigger turbo or even cams, etc, on, change to coil swith completely different swell needs, etc etc. All the things that you might need or want to do 25 years after the car was new. Aftermarket replacement ECU is obviously better again, because it gives you even more freedom from the constraints of the stock ECU. I won't be needing to go any further than Nistune though, for the new turbo in the 250ish rwkW region I'm going to, with big injectors, and most other things being stockish.
    • Lucky the prp block is supposed to be released next weekend 
    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 😄 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 😄 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 😄 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel
