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).

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.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
