Mr GTST,

17k might get you a non-tubo auto.

there you go. $17,000 camry that costs as much as a ferrarri to ensure. wikkid stix.

jmp,

got to Prestige Motorsports (google) and have a look at their recent stock lists. you can then pretty much add between 3 and 5 grand to the costs quoted there for something landed in Aus.

15 months ago I imported my r33 it cost me $17400 with alarm system on the road complete. It was a grade 4 vehcile inside and out, now the outside has a couple of pin dents and small scrapes thanks to australian carpark tosser's, but I'd said I paid a pretty high price for a dead stock vehicle, but it was in excellent condition for a 9 year old car.

approx $16k for an r32 gtst.

with basic lil mods.

they still dont seem to be THAT common in perth in comparison to places like Qld - so i think the prices are around $2k - $3k more here....just what ive noticed.

Well i picked mine up for $16k with exhaust, bleed, suspension, wheels and 85,000kms from a private seller

but if you can afford it..consider an 89 stock gtr...around 20k isnt bad for one

If you're only able to spend $20k on a car, are you going to be able to afford to maintatain a GTR?

I was thinking about this last night. Its an older car, EVERYTHING is rarer than the gtst and in most cases you've got to buy two of everthing....

I reckon there's gonna be a lot of 89 GTRs for sale domestically (private) because people just can't afford to own them.

R32 should be able to be picked up for 16k for a nice example, they are not that much cheaper then r33s because 1 they are a better car and 2 the are more rare

ouch!

:D

The older the car the more likely it'll need some work done to it when you buy it. This can quickly negate the excellent deal you got on it in the first place. Either way if you buy a 89 GTR and you get a good one, then you're likely to pay top yen for it or you get one that needs some work and pay less yen but need to spend a few extra thousand fixing it up when it gets here. I'd still be budgeting $25-$30k for a r32 GTR either way. Face it, most of us are fastidious when it comes to our cars, no point bring in a 89GTR all banged up to save a few thousand if you arnt going to fix it up and make it look and drive nice. Though if anyone brings in a 89 GTR I'd love a look at it to see what its like :D

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
