i saw in the quokka today (wa buying and selling paper) a dude was trying to sell an

r31 gts sillhoute build 165/200 for $6900 (white...so that would be series one and no real mods whatso ever)

It's a pretty normal price, they don't hold as much value as the later Red with white wheels GTS2's (That one in the Quokka is an all White GTS1). It's still about 2-3x the price of a non-GTS.

Also, there is about 7 or so GTS1's, and only 3 GTS2's known to be WA.

They are an awesome car, the seats and suspension are the best :) just needs more power.

um... There are at least a dozen GTS1's and 5 GTS2's that we know of in WA.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll add #165 to the list.

SOUNDS like a good price, get it checked. the 4 most sort after r31's would have to be the gts-r,gts2, gts-x and the gts1. all great cars, go to www.r31skylineclub.com ask around as a few members can check the history of that #gts1.. then come back here to chat to us all about your new car.....

Don't apologise, I'm kinda used to it.....

The old schoolers around here all know I'm female, as for the newcomers, I'd rather that they all think I'm a bloke... guys get strange when it comes to taking tech advice from females.

Back on topic,

The price is fairly standard.

Most GTS1's are in the $4,500 - $9,000 range.

Take into account that these cars are 15 years old.

They are hard to find original parts for, and although $6,900 may seem cheap, if it's in need of a bit of love, repair costs could run into the thousands.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
