Driving An R32 Gtr In 10 Years?

[GTR75]

Lads,

Do you think you'll still be driving, or want to be driving, an R32 GTR in 10 years time? Do you think they'll still be a viable road car? Do think anyone will want to buy one in 2018? Will they still be a bang for your buck icon that they are now??

Any thoughts...

Question is will there be petrol in 2017?

LPG conversion kits for a gtr anyone?

[adam-__-]

Probably not. The R34's will be like what the R32's are today in my opinion. The R32's will be like... I don't know.

[GTR75]

Maybe R34's will be cheap...but they didn't win Bathurst.

If there is still petrol in 30 years time id definately drive a 32 GTR! :PBJ:

I consider the R32 GTR to be a classic... guys are driving 30+ year old classics still.

I'll still be driving mine, even when econo-box hovercars are able to beat me at the lights

[GTR75]

Good to hear, lads. Yes, I think they'll be a classic. At least as good as an XU-1. Hopefully the price will start going up!

The GTR's that will be available in say 20 or 30 years time will either a) be f***in ROOTED!!! or b) far too expensive to run and/or buy..

It will be a similar case to the DR30's now-a-days..

agreed i also think 32gtr will be considered a classic first of the rb26dett powered skylines and nice and small when sized next to a 33-34. i know ill still be driving mine in 10 years

[hojak]

Hopefully the price will start going up!

I'm with Gtr75.

Remember mate, by then the R32 GTR should have become a vintage... they should be more rarer and sort after like a collector's vehicle. I own a r33... will drive it always.. love it.

I owned a 1968 Dodge Charger for more than 10 years which I sold last year. It was fun to drive and got loads of attention, but it was pretty agricultural in terms of handling/brakes/comfort compared to my commondore company car.

Can't help thinking that with the pace of technology these days the differences between an R32 GTR and whatever is in the showrooms in 2018 (Hybrid power Fords/holdens?) will be huge.

Also there's the possibility that climate change nazis might ban or limit the use of *certain* cars in the future, meaning we may see "clunker" laws like in California

Check out the cover of the lastest Auto Salon Magazine. R32's rule now and hopefully still will in 10 years!!

Well as long as there will be means too I will always drive a R32.

im planning on driving mine till the day i die, if im poor ill drive it rusted n busted and no matter how rich ill get(which is my plan ) id never sell it to go n get something like a ferrari. hell id rather leave it undrivable in my garage than sell it.

considering how much time n money some people have dumped already on completly rebuilding their R32 gtr's id say there will be a few ppl still rolling in em for years to come. im sure it will still be loved and hated by people for years to come. while its debatable wether it will go up or down in value its garunteed to be worth atleast a lil bit in years to come. people sell 240z's for nutz prices these days im sure a nice GTR should be able fetch a bit when it hits 35years old

i already started thinking about what parts i should be stocking up on while ya can still buy em but i hear nissan still have plenty of lil bits n pieces you can buy brand new so ill prob just leave them to handle the storage

i reckon the main thing it hasnt got going for it is you cant really buy models of it and it hasnt been in many movies, they seem to always do the r34 instead

what it does have going for it though is the quickest quarter mile time out of the 3 current editions. holden still havnt made a car that can beat the 13flat quarter(maybe in another 15years guys) and the import mag's always say the 32 is the most fun to drive. its the only car ive heard of that you can just pull a fuse and go rwd. most of the jap tuner companys say they owe their success to the 32 and will always be something special to them. hell the car even made v8supercars v8supercars.

i know i feel like im king dingaling when i drive mine
