I don't think i'd ever pay more than $20k for an 89 unless it was in mint condition not a scratch/fault/missing part. Even then i'd have a long hard think about it simply because of it being 15yrs old, hell I cringe at the thought my my '95 R33 GTS-t is 10yrs old already and wanting something 'newer'.

Ben, mate, I honestly don't think that is ever going to be a problem. No one is going to sell a mint GT-R for $20k.

mint 20k gtr's do not exist.. and theres nothing wrong with '89 gtrs. Its still an R32 and is no different to the 1990 etc so whats the fuss? Obviously there is a large amount of 89's because everyone was told 15yo rule was ending so people went nuts. There are some really good ones out there.

someone said that they have all been on the track the last few years, thats why you don't buy one without rego, if its got rego at least you know it hasn't been a track skank

if they don't have rego either, you also have to ask

a) what problem made it too costly, or too difficult to get the shaken (or whatever it is) when rego renewal came up.

B) how long has it been sitting there unrego'ed in some field somewhere? waiting for some guy to hear about overseas wanting old cars, quickly scrubbing it up and flogging it off.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
