How Many R32 Gtr's Left ? In Japan


Recommended Posts

I was just wondering how many R32 GTR do you guys think are left in Japan in general approximately? I don’t mean as an actual figure just there general existence.... Its been a few years now since they stopped making them and many have been exported or wrecked out?

it would be good to know how many were acyually made and sold ! :sorcerer:

Hoping they were 'rareing up'? Why?

To answer your question (which really can't be answered), the R32 GT-Rs aren't as thick on the ground as 10 years ago... ok?

Rezz it is only a genoralization question as i had no clue if they were abundent or starting to dissapear.

I am interested on the car's status in a few years and if they will become a rarer thing with Japan wanting to always get rid of there older car's.

like those little toyota Sprinter Trueno things ,very hard to find now etc ...

Well with the AE86, theres a few factors that come into play with the stupid prices people ask for them. I can't say that the R32 GT-R will be the same simply because it wasn't 'the last of the GT-Rs'... unlike the AE86 which was Toyotas last lightweight RWD small car.

When R32 GT-Rs become really hard to find, there'll be people either paying decent (but not stupid) money for good examples, or opting for a newer R33/34 or even the next GT-R... kinda like the JZA70 Supra. Having said that though, never underestimate American hype. That alone could bump prices up for an R32 the moment it's featured in the next Fast and Furious: Lunar Assault movie :D

and AE86 sprinters are still by no means rare. there are heaps at auction on a daily basis. and heaps attending drift meets etc in japan and aus. yes they are stupidly expensive for what they are, but if you are dumb enough to pay the money there are heaps to chose from.

$2000 and you can set fire to my AE86. hell I'll even pour the gasoline on for you. Stupid rusty piece of shit.

Hahahaha

It is an interesting question though, there was roughly 42000 R32 GTR's made, so it would be interesting to know how many are left in Japan. Although, i dont think the prices for good ones in Oz will jump up much (if at all) when the auctions dry up, thats just wishful thinking.....eventhough you wouldnt hear me complaining if they did :blush:

The Japs keep the 'cream of the crop' so to speak, for themselves. I'm sure the big specialist 'Line yards over there are happy to let us gaijins take their slightly more used-and-abused examples off their hands LOL.

42,000+ may seem like a lot, but the Jap population is huge, so you would have to assume there are a good number of young guys looking to get into a GT-R as soon as they get their licence theses days, if they can afford it (much like here- 'cept our rego is much cheaper in comparison).

Total production of the R32 GT-R was 43,394 units, with production starting on May 22, 1989 and ending in October 1994

sorry to b precise steve :)

Aaaah, thats 43,934 units... >_< sorry

By the way, in the Skyline GT-R Memorial book (JDM), it lists 41,692 units of BNR32 GT-R were actually registered... leaving 2,242 units made but unregistered possibly for race use, demo cars, static display etc.

As far as Australia is concerned the easiest way to get an import approval is using de-registration papers for the car from Japan... so I'd say a very high percentage of the ones that arrived here were previously registered.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
