xRHETTx Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hey, Ive been looking at buying an 92-93 R32 GTSt for about 4 months now, I really wont a car thats 5speed with a sunroof, not too modded. Ive got aroung 15k. Ive had 2 cars inspected by RACV/NRMA, one had major structural damage, the other was good but the motor blew up the day after the test was done! Ive also offered money on 2 others but no one is willing to sell with RWC. My question is: Where are all the R32's? Why arent there any for sale? I thought it would be the perfect time to sell-as of next year '89 cars will be 5k cheaper than '92-93 cars, no one will want later models anymore. If anyone knows of any cars that match the description Ive given, preferably white, please post or pm me. Must be willing to sell with RWC. Thanks, sorry to vent my frustration online, Rhett Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/23360-where-are-the-r32s/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

predator Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 There have been a few decent ones around..but a lot seem to be interstate.. when it comes to the right car.. a $300 airfare doesn't seem so bad, especially if you can get most of the details sorted with the buyer before you actually take the plunge. I bought my car from Mildura Ive had 2 cars inspected by RACV/NRMA, one had major structural damage, the other was good but the motor blew up the day after the test was done! woaa... lucky you had those tests done..What about importing directly? You should be able to pick one up for well under $15k.. with a few $k to spare, which would be enough to replace a few major things if it came to worse Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/23360-where-are-the-r32s/#findComment-499807 Share on other sites More sharing options...

predator Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 the other was good but the motor blew up the day after the test was done! Yer but they passed it ...and *then* the motor blew up.. go figure. 50% success rate on their car inspections... you'd be happy with those odds wouldn't you xRHETTx? You're best off taking the 32 to a garage and getting it checked out by somebody who works on skylines everyday. RACV don't know crap about imports.

funkymonkey Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 best place to get an R32... japan... import one yourself and you'll get the best value for money. On the other hand you could buy narkeh's GTSt... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/23360-where-are-the-r32s/#findComment-501109 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xRHETTx Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 Originally posted by INASNT LOL surprising RACV actually found a problem with a car which wasent superficial!! The racv inspected a car for me which is currently 4 sale at JSV in Thomastown, they said the car had been ina major accident, it even had a 10litre dint in the fuel tank! No wonder they were very anti me getting the test done. So 1 point to RACV. The other car i had inspected was for sale in Sydney therefore NRMA inspected it. They gave the car the thumbs up (even though they dont do a compression test, and would not, even for extra money, unlike RACV). So i negotiated a price, booked my flight and the nest day the crankshaft/piston/etc were fuct, car wouldnt even start apparently. Lucky i hadnt paid for it yet. Meggala, u already offered me ur car a while ago, but since u have done the conversion now and no a/c ill say no thanks. Inark, really want a white car with sunroof, so no thanks either. Does anyone know if RAWS compliance is available yet in Vic for R32 GTSt? I think i might have to import, to get the car that i want. Id rather a 93 car than an 89 coz of it would be a bit newer, and i wouldnt have to wait too long.

predator Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Speak to Craig at J-spec .. he should be able to give you a good rundown of what is happening, how long it will take to import, and will give you answers 5 times quicker than 20 of us can give you the number is 0400 502 250 or www.j-spec.com.au They are well regarded...

xRHETTx Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 Yeah Inark, have already seen that car on the mailing list. Its awesome, but I really dont want to have to wait til next year for a car. But someone should buy that car!!! Dean from UPI said 4-6 weeks for compliance for R32's. Will have to sell the R31, but id love a GTSR once im rich and famous and can afford to have more than one car.
