also how much would you expect a stocker r32 GTR to be going for? do you reckon i could pick one up for about 15k?

yes but thats definately towards the low side...

(like anything they vary according to cond etc)

normally around the 20k mark these days i think

If I were to purchase a 32 GTR, I wouldn't look at anything below $21k - $22k.

I'm not saying that there's no GTR under $20k that's good, but there's just a higher chance of them being in need of a rebuild soon, or things need replacing. If you find one for $17k that passes all the major $$ spending test, go right ahead and purchase it!

i bought mine recently for 20k, bargained down from 23k.

for a roadworthy it needed 1 new brake disk(replaced all 4)

and needs the engine mounts gearbox mounts and tailshaft center bearing are on the way out. but nothing to stress about just yet.

all up on the road i spent 21k on it, not including rego etc.

i guess thats not overly bad is it...i'm thinkin maybe i should save up a bit more money before i consider buying one...i was hoping i could get out of it for under $20k..but it looks like if i spend under 20 on the car..i'll be spending more on repairs...

My advice is buy private, all the 32 GTRs that I looked at in importers yards for comparison sake when buying mine where absolute crocks of shit. This was at various importer yards around Melbourne, someone like power play imports though usually import quality or reasonable nick cars (but also on the more pricey side of things as well).

So checkout the for sale section of this forum and carsales.com.au in the private seller section.

Cheers!

PS...The R32 GTR for $27,000 about two fifths of the way down the page is one I was looking at when in the market, looks very neat and probably a pretty good price if you could get them down a grand or two. Good luck in the hunt >_<

i have a mint r32 gtr which i brought over from japan and got a 2000 dollar service done by mercury motosports in brisbane. Body, mechanics, interior are all perfect. Not 1 dent. had a compression test and leakdown test with exactly the same on all 6 cyl. I wouldn't sell mine for less than 22k. Sure you can get them for 17k but parts are not cheap.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
