If you bought it in now then forget the 15year old rule.

It would be a race car only.

You can buy it now but must stay in Japan till 1/1/2004.

Cheapest actually in the country I have seen is one just sold for $25K.

cheers

Ken

goodluck with a cheap GTR, they are seriously a car that you don't cut corners with.

If your struggling to buy GTR, u shouldn't be driving one.

Just think, u buy ur car, an older poorer quality one, i would guess you'll be rebuilding either ur gearbox or engine, or most likely both!!!

Rebuild of both will set you back $5000 for engine + at least $2500

so, be prepared to pay at least $8000+

If your 4WD system dodgy, wouldn't wanna know how much to fix!!

haha, be realistic if considering GTR's, u need to be prepared to pay for repairs! definately not a car to buy if you can't afford repairs!!

just my opinion!!

There is no such thing as a "cheap GTR". What you save on purchase price you will inevitably end up spending on repairs.

Sure there are the odd cheap ones come up when owners are desparate for a sale but for the most part a GOOD GTR comes with a high price tag.

If you are wanting a 32GTR with the intention of doing quite a few mods etc then a cheap one is probably a sensible buy but if you want reliable and trouble free motoring WITHOUT having to fix things then save yourself the time and trouble and pay that little extra for a good one.

    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.    
    • I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
