lookin 4 gtr info

[stooj]

just doin some research on gtr prices and specs can anyone point me in in the right direction?

Stooj,

Depends on what you are after. 32's go for as little as $27k, but for a decent one you'll be wanting to spend over 30k. 33's again as little as say $40k but $50 and up will give you a low km later model.. Obviously there will be exceptions and mods can either bump or drop the price depending..

What model are you chasing and what is your budget would be the best place to start.

Cheers

I have some background info on the 32 model if you want to take a look. It's on my web site:

my budget is about 50k an im lookin at an r33, oh yeh how can u tell a fake gtr from a genuine gtr ? whats the difference between the non v-spec an v-spec, do they all come with that torque splitter thingy?

cheers guys

[VSPEC32]

Real GT-R will have the wider front and rear guards, will have full attessa 4wd system and of course the engine will be an RB26DETT. As for differences between V-spec and non V-spec - on an R33, you'll find a finned diff cover on the V-spec and smooth dome diff cover on the standard edition. For 50K you should be able to find yourself a fairly good condition GT-R. Buy as late model as you can afford too. And make sure you've got insurance lined up before hand too cause if using bank for funds, they'll need to know it's covered. For insurance, you could try the main ones, but wouldn't waste your time. Call Famous Insurance or Silvalake (they're both brokers). Both do imports and I currently have both the GT-R and Silvia insured through Silvalake.

would 50k get me a v-spec?? how much is insurance these days?

[EVL R33]

50k will get you a decent 33 or a monster 32 depending on what you want...

Fake Gtr's are hard to make and would be expensive anyway so unless someone tries to sell you a gtst as a gtr it shouldn't happen. Vspec in the 32's had brembo brakes, different wheels and stiffer suspension I believe, in the 33's an active LSD, stiffer suspension was about it.

All GTR's have Attessa (Vspecs have Attessa-PRO) which transfers the torque to the front when the rears lose traction if thats what you were asking about..

If you ever come down to Perth let us know and we can show you some of our cars...

Stooj,

My 95 GTR Vspec cost $49k a year ago so yeah that price will probably get you a 97 now.. Just get a decent workshop to go over it BEFORE you sign anything. If the car yard / private seller won't let that happen walk away even if you love the car...

Insurance for my GT-R at the moment comes in at about $880 but could be wrong. For my previous R32 GT-R V-spec, it was insured for about $46,000 and insurance was ~$1,700/yr. My current R32 GT-R is only insured for $26,000.

[stooj]

i think i can tell the difference between them now, that attessa thing is that user programable so u can put 5% torque to front and 95% torque rear?

ill let u know the next time in perth, u got msn?PM if u do

[EVL R33]

Attessa is not user programmable, it works automatically depending on various conditions. You can however buy aftermarket controllers that allow you to do that...

I have Pm'd you my number..

stooj,

your 17, lookin to spend $50k on a GTR..... pull the other one... you work at dewsons? even if you have $50k lined up, insurance will send you broke....

[stooj]

hey man thats what inheritance is 4 .... by the way i have a mechanical fitters job lined up in november $18 p/hr 12 hr days ,then jan i have a job in jan as a heavy duty deisel mechanic so i think i should be able to afford this....

[ix9]

real sensible thinking there for a 17 year old... "i gotta job lined up moite!" owning a car and maintaing/running a car is a whole different ball game... which hopefully you see, before you piss your inheritance away on a car....

[stooj]

hey man , dont be fooled by age , age doesnt determine the mental capacity or maturity of anyone .... i also have alot .. i mean alot of shares so if i do *** up i have a buffer , im not stupid man .

[stooj]

and if i dont have the job by a certain date im scrapping the whole idea, simple.

[kidd]
