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

    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
    • Yeah I would like to try and get a ADM car to reduce issues with insurance. I've decided if I end up getting this car I will set it up to be a sleeper build, leave it looking stock/dad spec on the outside I wonder if you can just drop in the 400r/Red/Z ECU or better still use a flashing tool to copy the map off one. Backup the factory map and then flash the 400hp cars onto the 300hp cars ECU?
    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
