Black Widow Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hey guys, I'm based in sydney and would like to know if any of you guys recommend a dealer to buy off, or an importer? I'm looking to get back into a 'line and want a good one. I'm lookin at getting either a fairly well modified r32 gtst (maybe worked rb20, or even an rb25 transplant) or even a GTR. If anyone can help me that'd be awesome. Thanks Nick Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/202931-looking-at-getting-an-r32/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primordial Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I can definitely recommend Aussie Car Compliance: http://www.aussiecarcompliance.com.au/cars4sale.htm I bought my car off Joel and it has barely missed a beat. The cars they sell are top-notch, not too thrashed (visibly, but I bought my R33 GTS-T with 55,000k's and engine compression tested at 150psi across all cylinders (ie. very good!)) Plus all cars come with full 12 months rego, and 12 months warranty. Dont trust the website, it hasnt been updated for a while. Just call Joel and tell him what you're after. If he hasnt got it, he'll certainly be able to bring it in and compliance it for you. I got mine straight from japan and somehow managed to be complianced even though it had an aftermarket turbo/computer and supporting mods. Supposedly they should be brought back to stock, but I have my suspicions Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/202931-looking-at-getting-an-r32/#findComment-3600992 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTR - looking at a completely stock/v lightly modded example - i've seen that they go for about 18-20. But i was talking to Az from phoenix imports and he reckons he can get an 89-92 for 10,500, and a 92-94 model for 12,500 landed and complianced. What extra costs are involved with this cos that sounds real cheap.

A rebuild is involved ($3,000-10,000) very shortly after buying unless its got recent and verified receipts of a full rebuild... and maybe cutting some rust out of an 89 model Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/202931-looking-at-getting-an-r32/#findComment-3601065 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you have 10k sitting around for a rebuild then do it Here's a nice looking one http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...tr-t202435.html If i didnt have my supra id buy that Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/202931-looking-at-getting-an-r32/#findComment-3601080 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of maybe buying a cheap one with a blown motor or something cheap, would it be worth it doing it that way or should i just spend to get one thats running in good condition?

Those prices are completely unrealistic, and if you buy a cheap R32 GTR, you will be making a big financial mistake that will bite you in the ass. With your budget, you should be looking for a nice GTS-T Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/202931-looking-at-getting-an-r32/#findComment-3601116 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like JET-32R. It wasn't overly expensive and i would've thought it was a good car?

Primordial Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 20k will get you a nice example.. I think he was referring to the 10k and 12k ones you were talking about from your importer Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/202931-looking-at-getting-an-r32/#findComment-3601146 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence or nothing, as i think he's a site sponsor and all... But check out the cars thoroughly is all i can say. I went looking with a mate and his dad who's a panel beater... and wasn't many cars there (1) that hadn't had body repairs.
