Hey everyone,

The aussie dollar is at .915 USD and 105 yen.

I want to buy an R32 GT-R but im wondering whether to buy it now or in 2 years. If i wait theres no guarentee that the aussie dollar will get stronger so if there are any money guru's around please let me know what you think.

Thanks.

yea, its no guarentee that the aussie dollar will be stronger, and i wouldnt think it will effect that much anyway...2yrs is a long time to wait just to get the car a hundred or 2 cheaper....so i think if u find the right gtr, but it :w00t:

Buying an R32 GTR from Japan - the money you spend in Japan on the car is probably one of the smaller sums. It's the money you spend in AUD on taxes, duties, compliance, rego, insurance, maintenance and rebuilds that makes importing pricey.

You're better off waiting 2 years and buying an R34 GTR.

With the cost of importing, in two years time it probably won't be much cheaper..... I just bought a stagea, and the cost in total, on the road was about 10K, but the car itself only cost 2.3K...... so even half the price, you'd only save a bit over a grand tops. And loose time driving the car waiting for the price to drop.

if anything really really nice 32 gtrs have gone up a bit in price as they get harder to find

i saw a black vspec II with 50000km , with logs and history , go for about 2.2million recently

thats a pretty special gtr but you get the idea

crappy gtrs will continue to get cheaper .

Exactly, only the good V spec models with low km's will now start to go up in price, where the others will drop off.

    • Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.    
    • I particularly like the look of the John Player Special team. (Thumbnail isn't different but hit play for the clip)
