From my experience...even decent 89 GTR's will need SOME work...mine is at 3.5K and counting on top of purchase price.

Good luck to all that are hunting. The more GTR's the merrier, I'd rather see an R32 GTR than a HSV Monaro.

now people start to know "you pay for what you get"

there is no cheap GTR,if you want good GTR,than you need to pay more money or you will get shit car,

i think for 89GTR you really need to pay $25000~$30000

93~94 around $35000~$40000

for R33GTR $42000 over,

if anything less than that,thats mean the car wont be very good,

Rubbish.

Word to Gojira i was goin to say the exact same thing hahha it is so true!!! You pay big now or you pay big down the track ask yourself why the car is so much cheaper especially if its cheaper from auction!!!!

believe or not the japs do know a good car when they see one and this will put more biders in the seats and push the price up... Sh!t when i bought my R the going rate for a very very cheap one was 40K so all consider yourself lucky if 35,000-40,000 is the top of the price range!!!

Rubbish.

LOL!

I couldn't have said it better myself.

How can you place an arbitrary 'line in the sand' for a GOOD or BAD GT-R?

You're saying all sub $42,000 R33 GT-R's are rubbish?

Or that a sub $30,000 R32 is rubbish?

I guess we all drive rubbish here...

T.

Im with gojira, s13drifter and to a certain extent MIU. Immaculate condition GTR's will cost more to purchase. Id like to believe the hype about cheap 89 GTR's being just as good as a 1994, but if I said I did I would be lying. Of the various people I know who have bought sub $20,000 GTR's, theyve had nothing but problems with them (with the exclusion of 1 person who did manage to pick up a genuinely nice example).

But theres always going to be a division of two groups on this subject, and it all comes down to personal opinion, which everyone is entitled too.

And before you bust out "the cars are checked in Japan" line, keep in mind whomever you are buying the car off is a business. Their first and primary interest is to make money. A distant second is making sure you get an ok car.

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
