hey guys first of all, i could find an introduction area on this forum, did i miss it?

anyway, il do it in here. ive previously owned 2 wrx's and an evo vii, which i recently sold and now just have a 99 civic auto coupe to run around in :) . it didnt take long to get bored... i originally wanted a gts-t before my first wrx, but didnt even test drive one, and just bought the rex.

so i joined here to see what could be had for the 6-7g mark when it comes to r33/r32 gts-t's, my impression of gts-t's is that they were slow, but i think i have just come across the poorly moded ones, which there seems to be alot of! (lots of bolt ons with no tune), dont even get me started on the cosmetics of some on carsales!

so, if you had 6-7 to spend, what would you look for?

Welcome to the forums dude! I picked my R33 Gts-T for 7 grand, fairly stock, FMIC, pod filter and walbro 255 fuel pump. Then I bought myself an RB20 wastegate actuator (runs 10psi not 7psi like the stock R33 ones) and an EBC which is running 10psi low, 12 high. Got a NIStune and dyno done by garage 7. Makes 209kw on 10psi, as for if it's slow or not, I guess it just depends what you're use to.

but there are also stock ones for around 11-12. are these dreamers or ?

If they're 100% stock, they're dreaming unless if has like under 100,000 geniune km's on it. Or unless it's a later like 98' series 3 R33 Gts-T.

Definite dreamers.

As per PM, I have a R33 Series 1 GTS-T, faily stock, has aftermarket 3" exhaust system with front mount intercooler. $5K, also very clean turbo manual. I've wrecked a few R33's and seeing the price for them, any stock R33 over $7K is overpriced. $7K should be able to get you a very nice clean one if stock. $7K+ should have some nice performance parts in it, fair amount of Ks and at least 6 months of rego.

True story: Had a guy offer me his R33 GTS-T, extremely modified, wanted $45K for it. May as well buy a 34 GTR :whistling:

just found a topic a few down from mine which is almost exactly the same reg a guy buying his first turbo car for 6-7g, lol.

what i gathered fro reading through that is an R33 gts-t is probly the best bang for buck, i think reson 32's are goin for higher is because there arnt that many!

HAHA definitely dreamers. R33 gts-Ts are like Commodores. There's tonnes of them everywhere, they're getting to be really old cars (15-20 years old) and a lot of them are poorly looked after. For this reason YOU have the ability to decide the market price. They're worth peanuts (probably in the range of 3-7k) and anybody who tells you otherwise is probably the owner of a GTST trying to sell it :O

How long is a piece of string?

As mentioned before, the way the car has been looked after can make a world of difference in value. Modifications matter, history matters.

A clapped out, rusted example is going to vary hugely in price from the well documented and cared for example.

I've got my R32 GTS-T for sale for 6.5k firm and I've actually had a harder time moving it than I thought, considering the condition and what I've spent. But that's just life.

Here's one for you.. Bought my 1993 R32 gtst Type-M for $9500.... Lol, I know..

That's not even the bad part..

287xxx kms (Suppoasbly 150xxx but doubt that)

Took off the bodykit to a shit load of chunks missing and rust underneath... More than my 83 corolla.. Since then I've spent about $2000 and its still getting nowhere

Oh and my interior is pretty dodgy.. I got a new dash, 550cc injectors an yellow jackets included in the boot, plus other things I have no idea about

Yep there is a lot of overpriced Skylines out there at the moment.

I have my eye on a GTS-T at the moment for 8k (with rego) with a rebuilt motor, nistune, nismo injectors, high flowed turbo, front mount etc.

So to me anything more than 7-8k is dreaming for anything close to stock.

Yeah, as Truffles said, even though R32's are getting rare - most of them are clapped out.

I spent MONTHS looking for my R32.

Outside it ain't perfect.
But all rust has been repaired and has no collision damage or previous repairs.


R32's were destroyed by the "Leb spec" phase.

There is several ok looking GTR's going for 12 grand.
A white one going around at the moment.
Needs love - but damn, rego and a GTR title for 12K?
Might be worth it with a little love.

Cost a bit more to fix up than buying a GTR at 20k, but you'd be saving a GTR.
That's how I see it anyway. lol


Goodluck on finding an R32, I just took out a loan to consolidate all my debts in one hit so I can keep mine (Stupid medical bills.)
So I guess that shows how much I love my clean '32. :-P

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • 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
