Hi Guys,

Hypothetically, imagine 3 identical cars. Same colour, same mileage, same condtion etc etc .........

1 is a standard R32 GT-R, the other is a V Spec 1 and the third is a V Spec 2.

If the standard car is worth say $20,000 what are the V Spec 1 and V Spec 2 worth?

Curious to know what you guys think about the premium a V Spec may bring.

Thanks,

Bob.

I am guessing that you are talking about in original condition. A highly modified Vspec I or II loses it's appeal in my opinion. i am thinking a 2 - 5 grand premium over standard. I would think that in years to come the Vspec and other such models (NISMO, AUS spec and N1) will grow more in value compared to the standard GTR based on rarity. You just have to look at the older American muscle cars, GTHOs etc to see the premium they now demand over base models.

I'd pay 30-50% more for a vpsec 2 if I was looking to buy and keep. You can't beat the last of the line for a keeper.

I've seen an excellent condition silver vspec2 on a yard for a while $30k. I would take it except I'm after white.

Agree with Duncan, 30%-50% is not unreasonable.

The thing i've started noticing is that these cars are absolutely starting to skyrocket in Japan.

I know that doesn't mean they will def follow the same pattern here. But as the once kids who loved the GTR's giving it to all at Bathurst, become cashed up adults, they'll be able to afford the higher asking prices, driving up the value.

Here's a good example - white for you Dunc!

A few cosmetic mods, but looks great. Add compliance and maybe an alarm, and you're getting close to $50k!

Or Black with a few more k's in the mid 30's

4 years ago when i was looking at 32's, you would have struggled to find a V-Spec with an asking price over $22k-$25k

I brought my Vspec 1 a almost 1 year ago for $25500. Almost completely stock (with boost restrictor still fitted) beside the Nismo strut braces, Nismo 3 inch exhaust, N1/Group A side skirts and white Nismo center guage dials. 82k on the clock when I got it now has 88k was my daily car untill about 3 months ago. Now just sits in the shed hidden away and comes out once/twice a week to keep the battery charged, am going to buy a trickle charger in a couple of weeks

Up to 20% more.

Unlike stated above, I don't think the standard cars will stay that low.

In GOOD condition, standard cars are also starting to go up in price.

Oh, how I wish I could afford a neat stock 32....

I will be looking at importing an r32 gtr vspec II within the next 6-12 months. I'm happy to pay double what a standard gtr goes for if it has log books, low km's & is untouched outside & inside, tell me I'm dreaming haha

Once I have that then a track car will come not too long after I hope ;)

I am still convinced that of the 1403 v spec iis built there are about 3000 left.. But on subject, I think any one wanting real money for these cars will probably have to send them back to Japan (GTHOs coming here from south Africa). In the long run it will push values up here but will make it harder to find someone to pay for them. Nismo and N1s will always be the ones to chase though

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
