Looking At Buying A Replacement R32Gtr

[Marko R1]

hi guys,

im stuck & need advice...i am not happy with my r32gtr shell so im pulling all of my running gear out of it & tossing the shell - more than likely will keep the engine as it owes me 25k & probably sell the interior, diff etc.

i am on the search & here are my 2 options (both are at similar price point):

1. red 94 r32gtr: forged bottom end, -5's, nismo wheels

OR

2. white 94 r32gtr vspec2: stock bottom end, -7's, volk wheels

which would be a better buy? i can see that i'd make more money from selling the forged engine etc on the red gtr, however, the vspec2 is more of an icon & better for resale i guess...what are your thoughts? this is doing my head in ARRRRGH

i can also say that the red gtr is cleaner, but the white gtr just needs a bit of tlc to have it look as nice

regards

marko

if ur gonna put ur 26/30 in it i would just get a rolling shell and build it from scratch. or a really clean stocker...

[Marko R1]

this is the issue - sfa clean stockers & if i buy something with a bit of work, i can always sell those bits

VS2. Will always command greater resale - so what if it needs a little TLC.

[Marko R1]

i put together a quick analysis & after selling parts i'd naturally get a lot more back with the red gtr...the difference is over 5k

from this, it will cost me an additional 5k to have a vspec2 which doesn't sound too bad really...

Just out of curiosity what have you found wrong with your current shell?

[Marko R1]

its an 89 model, im not really happy with the paint & i simply want a 94 model

white V SPEC 2 over red any day for me..

white V SPEC 2 over red any day for me..

well its only a difference of 5k+ for the vspec2

VS2 and how good are you at haggling? VINs noted and Checked for rust?

BTW, how do you know that the 2 owners aren't on SAU (assuming these are already in Oz)? If they are, they'll vote for their own car eh?

[Marko R1]

ive checked the vin's - its genuine.

im having the car looked at later today

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

VS2 Marko, all the way.

Did I sell you a veilside exhaust at some stage?

[Marko R1]

VS2 Marko, all the way.

Did I sell you a veilside exhaust at some stage?

you did too

that was back in 05 i think, for my aust delivered gtr

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Thought so. How did it sound? Without a doubt the best exhaust Ive ever seen.

Thought so. How did it sound? Without a doubt the best exhaust Ive ever seen.

very nice - not too loud but heavy & deep as well

[Marko R1]

hi all,

i had the white vspec2 inspected a few days ago, the chassis rails & sills are badly pushed in...can these be repaired or should i stay clear?

also has rust under the n1 boot lid (on the actual boot lid itself, rust straight thru), under the passenger mirror in the door sill itself, rear 1/4 guard arch & the bonnet paint is lifting off the alloy bonnet near the n1 front lip, wtf!

i also looked at the red gtr (non vspec) & the condition is incredible - very nice indeed reminds me of my aust delivered gtr which i had a few yrs back

[olloSKYLINEollo]

Yes chassis rails can be repaired depending on how badly damaged they are. The can also be replaced but both repairing and replacing is a big job. I think your better off going with the normal GTR for the same price cause if you get the V-spec its going to cost a fair bit of coin to get it all fixed up to a standard that your happy with the car

[Marko R1]

im leaning towards the normal - its just soooo clean!

[jahn-15]

why do you only have to chose between them to hunt around for a v spec 2 who cares if it takes a bit longer.

[Marko R1]

yes you have the right person rob
