Just got back from Racepace. My car was the only one missing a GTR badge haha. Saw a couple of SAU stickers on some. A black r32 gtr and a silver r33 gtr.

Racepace checked out whole car including compression; (140,135,145,140,135,145) and said it was good mechanically and whole car clean.

Couple of minor problems which need to be fixed for road worthy which Ben explained are common faults for this age of car. All will be fixed as RWC included with car.

Thanks goes out to Ben and his team at Racepace for inspecting the car and providing honest results.

Now to arrange daypass and vicroads rego uff~

He and his wife had one each IIRC.

He was the first SAUer I met at the Christmas BBQ in 2004 at Elwood. Havent seen him at any events since though :D

$13700 still seems like a lot. You could easilly find an R33 for that prince (S1). They are getting cheaper and cheaper. Plus for that money you get a 2.5lt engine and a better gearbox. Anyway, good luck with the purchase.

Preference really, id prefer a clean r32 over a s1 r33. Im P-Plater so not going to risk it with the power/weight ratio regardless of how many people are doing it.

RWC should be ready in 2 days, I heard Vicroads are againts p-platers rocking up with imports to get rego. Any one had issues trying to get rego under their name? For full rego not rego transfer ;)

why is everyone comparing a good condition 32 to random cheap 33's? ;)

If someone is after a nice 32, why does it matter what price 33's go for? need to compare apples with apples :)

IMO i don't care how cheap 33's get, if i'm after a nice 32, i'm after a nice 32.....

anyway, it seems like racepace have given it the all clear, so as long as Patrick is happy then its sweet :)
