Ive being trying to sell my R32 GTR for the past 6-8 months,advertised for $18500 still no luck.........i ve had a few people come look at the car. Last week christmas eve i had some guy come over looked at the car and offer me $16500, i refused the offer and counter offer him $17500 and i will need deposit by end of last week.Havent heard from him again so now playing the waiting game again.

One way to think about this situation is, think about the age group that would drive import 18-24.

Then think about the people who can acatully afford to buy one and maintain it. Not many people in that age group would have 20grand + to spend on a car you get the occasion older people that might be interested, hence why Gtrs, Supras and other import that are priced at 20 grand + are much hader and take longer to sell.

thats one of my theories.

To add to the above, the 24+ age group enthusiasts that genuinely appreciate your car are most likely detered by their current mortgages, high fuel prices and KIDS!! :)

think you will also find people in the market for a GTR will tend to go the R32, as they are more affordable for younger guys.

When I was in the market to buy my GTR, I saved over $10k by importing mine - a lot of people would be tempted to import their own.

Another thing that no-one else has mentioned is that fact that you have only had the car 6 months... people would be wary of this fact.

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.
    • I am a volunteer marshal at the Grand Prix. As such, I get a "friend / family" ticket. It is a general admission ticket, valid for all 4 days. Anyone interested in my spare pass, please DM me. Ticket is "free, gratis and no expense".
    • agreed, the price vs gains it’s there.   unless you go china supercharger. Temu racing anyone?😂https://www.facebook.com/share/15nkfpsg7Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr that was one of the ones that popped up on my feed 😂
    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
