Just curious

Do r32 GTR vspec/vspec 2 come with nismo 3 piece side skirts and n1 front bar? Or are they a option and some don't come with them ?

No Mike.......... V-Specs and V-Spec II's came standard without any of those features.

I have both OEM brochures and they are clearly presented in original guise.

Cheers,

Bob.

There two different types of rear spats, but only one is intended for the GTR. This is the Nismo soft rubber one.

The other type is the much larger one, made of plastic that was for the GTSt etc.

Hey guys,

I have just looked at a 32 gtr today, it has both the brembos and bbs wheels and the model code ends in AA, but I remember someone saying if the model code has a 7 or X in it it can not be a vspec?

Is anyone able to check?

Thanks!

Hi All,

What do you all think is the current market value in Australia for an unmolested R32 GTR V-Spec 2 in very good condition. 119,000klm's.

Thanks

I have a slightly different opinion. I would say $25K-$35K depending on originality/mods, service history (local/Japan or both), overall condition and color. The $35K to $45K+ bracket would be reserved for (genuine) low mileage cars and under the psychological 100,000 km mileage, vspec 1 or 2- not much difference in price in my opinion.

That boat has sailed..........

I just checked Wespac exchange rate and at 76.41 yen to the A$ the figures have really blown out. This is the real rate when you actually buy something after the fees are deducted. Not the 80.5 yen rate you see on TV!

It wasn't that long ago that both currencies were are parity to each other.

Attached are the last 6 auctions of similar mileage, grade 4 cars but I don't think any of them are V-Spec's and quite frankly they look pretty poor cars for grade 4 listings..

If you then use Prestige Motorsports cost calculator with the correct exchange rate you will be stunned at the end result.

Bob you are right about recent Japan prices and the currency changes - I have myself tracked the market over the last few years and even imported directly.

But... The question was what it was worth in the Australian market and frankly the local market hasn't caught up with the overseas market in my opinion. Not yet anyway!

Heck i was looking at this vspec in black,109,000km from auction a little while ago for around $25k landed and complied (81 yen to dollar). In hindsight that was one I should have bought, only missed out by a little!

http://www.j-spec.com.au/recent/1993-NISSAN-SKYLINE-GT_R_V_Spec_-154270.html

And here another recent one for under $30k landed and complied , vspec2, grade 4b, white, 65,000km

http://www.j-spec.com.au/recent/1994-NISSAN-SKYLINE-GT_R_V_Spec_2-187208.html

Both the above examples didn't have any Japanese reg "shaken" left so we're good value for export. The ones you have cited mostly have reg plates and 'shaken' left and so can increase the sale prices a few thousand dollars over no 'shaken' vehicles and they are usually sold locally in Japan for that reason.

i would be interested to hear what others think as well....

Where is Iron Chef???

Well - I have my 94 V-Spec2, stock, Grade 5A and 22,000 genuine kms (full service history) insured at 55K and I don't think that's excessive....

Paid 35K at Auction 2.5 years ago..... (Thanks Iron Chef ;-)

Glad I got it when I did - not many like it left

Might sell it to Yankee land in 2019

Thanks Andreas,

Sounds like a great car.Yes, the way to $A to $US is at the moment it makes the car very attractive for a US buyer. I am tossing up what to do with mine at the moment. I bought another toy and now the GTR does not get used as much as I would like. That being said, the holding cost are probably only a couple of grand a year and I believe the increasing value of the cars will far outstrip that. Decisions, decisions.

Cheers

Regarding the exchange rates, if you've got a good importer you won't get ripped too badly. I used OzForex when I imported my car who converted the money for me and paid for the car. They generally exchange at 1.5 yen less than the spot rate which is excellent. Last year I imported my 34 for a spot rate of around 96 yen per Aussie $ which meant I paid around 94.5 yen.

Right now the spot rate is 85.5 so it's improving, and Japan just intro'd negative interest rates so prepare for it to get even better IMO.

I can also vouch for Ox Forex- used twice before when I imported directly and both times were very good rates as you have stated.

I don't know how long the negative interest rates in Japan will take to make the exchange rate more attractive for us though.....

Andreas - you are a very lucky guy! I remember your car very well when it came up for Auction as it was very hard to forget!

Just to clarify, $35K was car cost only plus associated import costs?

Car cost only - correct

    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32  
    • Nice. I'm looking forward to the updates!
    • Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.
    • Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
