Hey fellas,

I was wondering if $5,000 would buy a R32 - my youngest brother loves Skylines; we have 2 already at home and he wants to be the proud owner of a third... he's only just turned 18 and got his P's a couple of weeks ago, he wants a N/A Automatic R32 more so just for crusing purposes... I'm having a bit of trouble finding an old but fairly working R32 for him... anyone know of or has any R32 Skylines that would like to suggest.

We're from Melbourne and the buy would probably take place in a couple of weeks.

Cheers,

hmmm 5k for an r32.. might be a battle if your after one in good condition. i know auto n/a ones are cheap but maybe save a couple more grand.

May i ask y he wants an auto... manual is much more fun lol

Thanks fellas.... honestly, thank you all...

TM_R33: mate, he's got an automatic license. Yeah, he's only got $5K on the dot and doesn't make much as he works only twice a week at Red Rooster and they pay like $7 an hour or something... poor guy can't wait any longer... I know R32's are worth around $8K, so damn... hope someone can help him...

hmm being an apprentice i earn not alot either. i just owe the bank 15k for an r33 lol.

spose your brother cant consider a loan if he doesnt earn enough to pay it back tho :)

he will also need money for insurance and rego and maintainance too remember

hey man, really depends if your in the right place in the right time, picked mine up for $5000 exactly, its an na manual with bodykit, 18's and a great condition interior. the paint was on its way out but the car is straight as. engine and gearbox in perfect order.

So yer man there out there you just have to be lucky enough. chasing an auto would make life a little easier i would imagen. hit up the importers.

if you no your stuff you might find getting a shell cheap (again friend just picked 1 up for $3000 wit wheels kit gtr bonnent awesome paint interior) and getting a cheap na motor(ive got 1 4 sale) gearbox god no's there out there.

good luck any way mate.

Thanks mate.... appreciate your advice... yeah, unfortunately... I don't know of many places... accept carsales.com.au and SAU...

Oh well, just gotta hope something comes along soon.

$5k should get him a nice 89 heap but then add rego, insurance, servicing, petrol... Unfortunately your brother may have to face the reality that he cant have a skyline at this stage of his life or he could buy one and it will be off the road soon and he wont be able to afford to fix it.

no idea which thread,but i seen on here an awesome blue auto r32gts fresh paint,everything looked the goods

for like $5500-$6500 not sure which price,but was one of them.

Just stay on the hunt dude,youll for sure find 1 on here,maybe even a cefiro.

should be able to pick up a CA18DE auto silvia for that in pretty good condition.

I'd expect panels to fall off an R32 at that price... or be incomplete, crash damaged, dredged from the bottom of a lake, etc.

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
