[taken from Rezz's photo thread, because I wouldn't want to detract from the threads purity :D And added here because someone was obviously interested]

Dealership prices (which is what you will find in car classified magazines) -

(obviously could go even cheaper via the owner or via auction)

* the average 95 r33 GTR is somewhere between 1.75-2million yen (you can get them a lot cheaper - but you get what you pay for).

* Decent 96 GTRs seem to be around the 2.3 - 2.5million area

* 97s are around 2.7-2.9ish

* 98s are high 2s - early 3million yen

* Add around 300,000+ for a v-spec

* below average to decent early r33s (turbo) can be had for 400,000 (sometimes less) to 900,000yen. I've seen a few heavily modifed examples (with low kms) go for considerably more than that. SIIs seem to range from around 600,000 to 1.6mill. Bearing in mind that those at the higher end would be showroom condition and modified.

4-doors are a little cheaper.

I've seen r34 GTRs dipping into the mid 3million mark. Nice GTTs are still around 1.8-2million-ish.

Interestingly, a low km late model r32 GTR will still earn a 2million+ price tag - with v-specs worth quite a bit indeed, given their age. Definitely a few 89 models going below the 750,000yen mark - but export demand might affect that.

You can pick up an early r32 turbo for next to nothing - literally.

using today's exchange rate as an example:

500,000yen=$6,312

750,000yen=$9,468

1million yen=$12,624

1.25mill yen=$15,781

1.5mill yen=$18,937

1.75mill yen=$$22,093

2mill yen=$25,249

2.5mill yen=$31,562

3mill yen=$37,874

3.5mill yen=$44,186

cheapest r32 gts-t I've seen for sale at a dealership=$1,136 (but I have also seen several offered for free - as the owners don't want to pay to get them towed away...)

I want an r33 gtr in the future, maybe 34 depending on price

estimating you from that data.. you could get a good r33 gtr vspec for about $30,000 AUD + importing shit

so all up your looking at nearly 40K

ive seen a few vspecs for mid 40s

ide have to say for peace of mind.. being able to drive and see your car when you buy it.. i would rather buy it here

well . i will sell you my r33 . 40K . its damn excellent. now its getting the full workout ( similar to the mines response kit ) . :D

Is this the one you let run out of oil?

Or the one your putting a Microtech MTX8 on that you want for $250 cause its all you have?

Or the one that money is no object and you want the best performance possible?

Let us know. Were all interested...

    • Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
    • It’s an rb25 so a gtst and I’ll get that valve
    • Thank you for this my turbo doesn’t have the nipple so I’ll get one installed in the turbo to Intercooler piping. I’ll get everything I need and locate it all using the information you both gave and get back with an update. 
    • Please do not connect it to your manifold. If you do, as GTS suggested please record the lot in 4K with good mics attached.   On the factory Skyline, there's a upside down pipe that allows it to breathe, looks like this   
    • For me I'd need some serious justification for why it has blown out.  Have you questioned him on it?  To be honest if you didn't question him right from the get-go on the first invoice that was already way over the initial quote and then you've (presumably) then paid another $1375 on top of the first invoice, then you're pushing shit uphill to get a favourable result now... It was years ago I last got an engineer out but it was around $450-$550 per visit.  That was just to inspect each progress point he gave me for the project.  Is he just doing progress inspections or is he providing engineering diagrams, technical assistance, etc??  If he's not, he's a filthy rip off merchant.  If the $3100 is the final sign off then you need to cop it on the chin, pay it and move on.  If it's not, piss him off and get a new one.  Not many Jeeps I'd value at $10K full stop let alone just engineering fees on a written off, half actual value WOVR Jeep....
