Hey Guys,

I'd like to know if anybody know how much are these GT-R Body shells (R32, R33 and R34) are? I am considering a project to enterain meself for a year or two.

I've searched all over the net for prices but i can't get the price for body shells, anywhere and would like to know how much is it and where is it all this...

Your opnions would be good and also some tips...

Cheers

McJeff

well you can get an r32 GTR landed from about 10k including all running gear (not that it would all be running :D ) But if you need to register the car you would need to either buy a 15 year old car or buy a full working undamaged stock car to import under sevs rules.

If you were going to get a cheap R32 GTR it would have to be a project car because they all drain big money when things break

Ide get one and also buy a cheap car i can use for work etc

First get the engine out and worked on by a good rebuilder/workshop, while thats happening do alot of the body/suspension/interior etc work yourself as its not quite as hard and u can save alot of $

depening on how much u have upfront to do it up, shouldnt take more than 6months tops,

worth it if you got the time & money, you basically get a brand new gtr for less than the price of a used one

Personally I would go with something that is mechanically a bit simpler than a GT-R -- between 4WD, twin turbo, HICAS, ABS, etc, etc there are lots of bits that can go wrong and will cost you a fortune to buy bit-by-bit. I would look either at an older Skyline (you could always copy Duncan, the luck bastard) or perhaps something else with a strong community. Personally I have always wanted to do an AE86 to truely worship the rice boy within me -- "LW say, follow the path of Takumi-san: AE86 for you" :P

(Although I am being a little silly, I am quite serious though..)

GO THE TOFU SHOP! :headspin:

I really need to go sort my ****ed friend out, picked up a AE86 as a trade in (he works at the dealer) for $1500......PRICK

For an Australia delivery AE86 with 4AC, that cheap but not all that fantastic (depending on condition, particularly rust).

Hey,

How about combined with all three?

And how much you guess it'll be building all up? 20K? 30K?

Cheers

I did this. Bought a clean (not F*cked) GTR, rented a shed, pulled it apart - everything, dipped shell, re built - everything, re- assembled to concoarse standard, modified many things along the way for performance/reliability etc...

Total build time - 4 years. (using mainly weekends and nights) (I am an experienced marine engineer by trade so I knew what I was doing)

build cost - $80G plus.

Was it worth the exercise? - doubtful

Would I do it again? - Absolutely!

Did I lose money when I sold it recently - yes, obscene amounts.

Overall, not a task I'd recommend for a 17 year old for a first project. Get a Datsun 1600 or something!

Put it this way, I'd of ripped the interior out of it 'drift spec' :thumbsup: But seriously, obviously didn't look the dogs balls, but for $1500, pretty nice :) Cheap to run, 4cyl rwd transport, can't go wrong :(

    • I can also smell fuel in oil if that helps. 
    • Hello, after engine rebuild(new cylinder liners and piston rings, arp headstuds, metal cometic tripple layer gasket, all new main/rod bearings) and roughly 100km made I did measure compression and it’s (1-6) - 80, 60, 90, 120, 110, 135. It’s rb25det series 1 - hydraulic lifters. Measured on cold engine. Didn’t check on hot due to overall car problems such as broken 3rd gear, idle issues, misfire etc. I did smoke test only on 2nd and 5th cylinder bcs soldering iron used with this method broke itself. So after setting cams to side - side 90 left/right angle I can see smoke coming off from intake manifold and turbo exhaust flange. 5th didn’t notice any smoke. Shop did head, valve etc job but I assemble it by myself. So I thinking about lifters. I don’t remember if they were soft or not it was long time ago. In my opinion I didn’t bleed them and they can be opened more than they should be. Can it be more likely possible? Or timing can be off by 1 teeth and can cause such weird compression? But if timing would be out wouldn’t it be like such big difference across all cylinders? Please help I’m so sad it happened. 
    • Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers
    • Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
    • So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated! Stagea Differential - Note two top tabs, one bolt hole for ATTESA pump mounting   300zx Diff - No mounting tabs Also found this mounting kit ?? https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
