No, bretts right...a glance at carsales will tell you that. Note he said stock. 10-15 is average for a 32 gtr. 33s are between 18-21 these days, I got mine for 25188 2 years ago. Depreciation is a bitch isn't it?

Yes I did note that he said stock and in most cases, stock 32 gtr's are actually worth more!

$10.5k is a low price for a 32gtr and a glance at carsales will show you there are none lower than that in victoria at the moment. 32gtr's have a large range in price from $10.5k to $50k for an AUS version...

What I also know is that there a number of rubbish gtr's (generally the same cheap ones we are talking about) that have been imported to Australia... i know this because I went and looked at a bunch when I originally wanted to buy one a few years back. I would never buy a 32gtr for $10 - $15k unless I was planning a rebuild etc because otherwise you are just buying an expensive headache rather than a cheap sports car... I can't count the amount of horror stories I have heard

Yeah that makes sense. Spent gtr's are a dime a dozen and thats why there are so many cheap ones. But if you havent got the cash they need to have spent on them you will end up with an expensive paperweight like so many people have.

When I was in japan I saw an R32gtr selling for $42kAUD sitting next to R34gtr for $40k. Clean ones cost money and are highly desirable in japan... the ones nobody wants go to auction.

wow 10.5k

does it come with wheels and engine?

i bought my first 33 gtst for 10.5

imad

How long ago did you buy it?

Also remember that not much is selling these days, especially turbo jap, all the new laws and the price of petrol have killed the market, if you want to get rid of your car in a hurry these days you have to sell it cheap or it could be on the market for months

    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
