and NO i'm not saying r32's are overpriced just because they're too expensive for me.

like i said i've seen and know of decent examples of r32s and r33s that have gone for that much.

Yeah this sounds 'decent'.....

guys, i think i might have found something. although its damaged but end product should/would be sweet as. we'll see how it goes...

You and I clearly have different opinions on what a decent car is. I shudder to think at the heap of an R32 that you end up with....

I bought an R32 for 8k. and it is a fantastic car..

body is perfect interior is perfect and it is manual and turbo. it was a NA form factory and had the RB20det installed.

gearbox was crunching and it had NA diff and brakes.

I have upgraded the box, brakes and diff plus about every single part in the car but even in the condition it was in when i bought it it was a really nice car.

I looked for a couple of months to find a really clean body that was fairly cheap to start modding.

I now have a 240rwkw gtst with LSD GTR 324mm brakes good handling and all up it has cost me less than 14k. but it was a lot of work.

If you are prepared to do all the work yourself and spend bit by bit every month you will get what you want. I am saving $2,000 a month for a house so buying anything on credit for me was a NO NO.

you can buy something fun for 8k but it will take a couple of months to find a good example and your choices will be limited. and my advice would be buy something that has not been modded because a medded 8k car will be thrashed...

you guys just can't accept the fact that you CAN get a decent skyline with that amount of money. just coz you payed 12K+ for yours..... :)

R31Nismoid close thread please, sorry for starting it.

i'll let yous know what heap of crap i'll end up with :P

peace niggas

that's what i'm saying dude, but oh well....

This is the point I am trying to make. Any manual R32 GTS-T for $8k is going to need a lot spent on it to make it good....

Go buy it then.... I hope it is all that it should be..... :)

If it was me I would budget more and get something like this:

http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/priva...2&trecs=110

Then get a full respray, rims, suspension give the interior a good clean out and rip out those monster gauges.

You might get that for $8,500... respray $2k, wheels $2k, suspension $1k = $13,500 for a nice clean 32. Then you can think about performance mode etc. But again, $8k for a 32 is only a starting point there will always be plenty more to spend. Otherwise leave it as is and its just another less than average car....
