Hey guys i have been apart of this forum for about 5yrs now and in my time i have had an r33 gtst and also an r32 gtr both great cars, i sold my my most recent car the r32 gtr about 4yrs ago for 25k and it was honestly the r32 gtr i have scene it was perfect inside and out. Now come 4yrs later i have bought my house and im wanting another gtr and i cant find one. I really want a R32 gtr with a built motor and low mount turbo options 2530's etc. I have always kept an eye on the market and recently as about 2 months ago noticed really good examples going within my budget. Now i have got the money ready to go but i just cant find anything that fits my description. My budget is 27k on the road, judging by past car sales in the last 3 months i thought it was fair but all i can find on this forum is ones going for late 30's and im just ready to give up. Am i wrong with my budget or are people asking for too much money for their cars. I just really want i nice clean mildy modified R32 GTR and i cant get one its a sad day. Sorry to ramble i just wanted to have my say. Sorry if this is in the wrong section please just move. I just need a little advice.

Cheers Drewe

Just a quick look. What about a cheaper one about 12 or so grand and then use the rest of the money to do what you want. ( as seen in link 3)

Just some ideas for ya..

Good luck :P

just wait and dont rush it.

the one you want will eventually come up

be patient

decent stockish 33 gtr is around 20

all 33s had the better crank in the motor and the s3 r33 had better sincros in the gearbox

the attessa got better with the 33s as well unless its a v-spec 32

+ less age and lower ks - the more servicing and mods you can do yourself the better.

most of them come with pods and exhaust, do the turbos yourself, boost computer, injectors and the rest yourself.

doesnt matter what anyone tells you, you never know what has been serviced

Hey mate, I know exactly where you are coming from. I looked for some time and then gave up... soo many of them are fkd... it was a shame to see how many of them have been treated and how they have ended up.

I ended up buying mine from my best mate who went to Japan to buy one, then lived there teaching english for a year and a half before personally importing it here. He had to move o/seas so I grabbed the opportunity with both hands as it was immaculate.

There are still good ones around but unfortunately its a bit of a waiting game... Have you considered importing?

    • I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.
    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
