Hello,

I am currently looking around for an R-32 GT-R and have been seing a couple on lot's around Melbourne.

I have observed a number of 'common' issues and was wondering whether people can give me a ball park estimate of costs associated with fixing these so I can budget at least remotely reasonably. :(

Common Observations:

Rear Window seals and rubbers - cost to replace??

Driver/Passenger Seat Trim - cost to replace??

Leather around handbrake and gear knob - cost to replace??

Spoiler mounting holes in bootlid left open - cost to fix??

Clutch - any recommendations on something hardy ??

Engine maintenance - gaskets, filters, fluids ??

Engine rework/reconditioning??

Now I know that there can be massive differences in cost for these things but if you've done this work in the past and have been happy with the outcome, any figures and recommendations would be greatly appreciated :)

the first thing to look for is that its stock.

they will all have aroud 100k if its less be cautios. one way to tell is compare the colour of the red pointers on the cluster compared to the centre guages.

basicly the gear boo and hanbrake cover are about 50-80each at a trimmer.

twin plate os giken- cheep and reliable.

10grand to do a motor and better turbos ballpark

widow seals are about 100bucks each

seats are pricy depending how badly they are worn.

etc etc cheeres

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
    • This is going to be a mid week evening cruise. Come along and join us for a drive out to Palm Beach. This is a change of event plans after talking to some of the older members of the club. SAU NSW is planning on hitting Old Pac again shortly, stay tuned for details. When: Thursday 26th of June Time: 7:30pm meet/8:00pm departure/10:00pm finish Meet: Spit West Car Park / Spit Rd Mosman NSW 2088 Destination: Palm Beach Public Parking / 16 Ocean Rd Palm Beach NSW 2108 Up to date information as always can be found on the events page of our website, the link for this event is https://www.saunsw.com.au/events/palm-beach-cruise There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • Good time for a carbon roof  
    • Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
