I picked up my 32r just before xmas for 18.5 landed complied onroad, And its clean as a whistle :) just very very minor mods but if you want to build it up yourself then the initial purchase isn't going to break the bank too badly.

I've started to consider 33 GTRs myself. I've found that most of them are actually cheaper than 32s! At least on the JSPEC featured list.

It would have to be black though. Was never the biggest fan of 33s but in black they look quite acceptable.

There's a wingless one for like 17k landed and complied.

Anyone know what a 34 GTR wing would look like on a 33?

thats because Japanese prefer 32s :)

BOOM. Perfect timing (just taken a deposit on my ZX, getting $7k for it).

Will do all the necessary checks. If all is good then that will be in my driveway in 3 weeks.

Don't even need to sell my Supra to afford it :)

$7500 is a steal...

I would sell it. Then I might consider buying a daily.. but that MR2 isn't exactly cop bait. Looks stock as a rock, including exhaust.

We will see...

I'll ring the seller soon and see if I can arrange a test drive for Monday.

lol respray and head/turbo recondition... so the dude's crashed it AND blown the engine/turbo.

that car's had an easy life.

but it's been "Always be garaged . No Damage."

baaaaaargain.

if this dude's an international student like he's makin out to be, then vice clamp his nuts and squeeze him on price for trying to pass off a car that's had a rough life as a minter.

Don't presume the worst all the time Shan :)

Respray to me = The paint faded over the last 18 years. Full respray to freshen it up.

Head/turbo condition = Yeah, maybe he has blown the turbo.. But it has a new one now so it's all good? I fail to see a problem.

It's gotta be a 32R Dezz and you know it! Such a tough road stance. I love a R34 GTR as well... but there is always something about a R32 that just makes you go "mmm"

You'll pay through the nose for a clean one though is the only issue :ermm:

True that.

haha i tagged you in it ages ago

That looks mad!

Yeah I saw a few of the better known 32 GTR's for sale not long ago...Archie's I think was up there...all asking big coin, but pretty much everything done...Still, there's 33's going for similar money with all the fruit as well.

That looks decent, apart from the color which I'm not a big fan of...

If I did go the 32 route, and chose a modified one, a forged rebuild at a reputable workshop would be high on the list of already done mod priorities..

I have seen that car at a SAU Meet up back in 2008.

Very clean and the conditions looks very good.

It would look absolutely terrible!

GTR's should stick to their stock spoilers and nothing else.

There maybe a few exceptions with aftermarket / bodykit designed spoilers, but stock still wins over all.

Gay, I thought you were looking at something decent but it just an mr2

If I get it, race me through the twisties :ermm: Then we'll see who's laughing when I beat you and walk away with all the change I've got from the $7500 asking price.

..This is all assuming that your car is fairly stock performance/handling wise. If not, ignore the above :)

Lol dw jerermy would need to learn how to drive properly first :)

I'm improving bro! ..Not that there was anything wrong with my driving before :ermm:

And yeah blags, just ignore me. I just start mouthing off when anyone hangs shit on MR2s ;) It's a reflex.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
