Unfortunately, it looks like I am going to have to sell my 89 R32 GT-R. I don't actually want to & therefore am trying to leave the decision as late as possible.

My question is this: how easy/difficult is it to sell a pretty much stock R32 GTR (89) in good nick. I would have to ask about $25,000.

Either that or is anyone in the market for a couple of kidneys, one careful owner.

Well I have all the receipts and stuff to show what it cost to get on the road and it is basically what I would ask for it. The purpose of the exercise is not to make money on the deal.

The problem is, I suppose, getting past the disinformation around about exactly how much/how cheap importing cars really is.

I personally suspect you won't get what you paid for it...everyone wants a bargain and even if your car is good it will be competing against crap cars with a low price tag :P

thats the downside of the ease of importing a 15yo car :rofl:

89 GTRS went up in price about 6-8 weeks ago and can not be had in good condition in Japan at bargin prices anymore so 25 for a cleen GTR is very cheap now.

Most of the cheap ones that did get in have cost huge money to get into good order.

Stick to your price if its clean.

I sold my VERY clean burgundy 89 for more than that a few months ago.

Car isknown to quite a few members on this forum and all have said it was one of the best around, irrespective of year.

A good one is worth it ie, no engine problems, no repair work on the body, no cigarette burns etc.

Cheers

Thanks for the info Ken. I hadn't realised you had sold yours. I saw it down at Collie and like you say, it is very clean/shiney.

I guess mine is a little off yours - but not too far.

Geoff from Prestige reckoned on it being (mine that is, sorry this thread is all about me, me, me) one of the best they had had at till the time of purchase. There again he may say that to all the guys...

Sorry and before I get flamed Geoff is ok by me.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
