R32 GTR prices - WHAT?!

R32 GTR prices - WHAT?!

I have been a GTR owner for some time now.

Recently I have had several people ask me if I was interested in selling, unfortunately for them I haven't and won't be. My intentions when I purchased the vehicle were to keep it for a very long time.

This recently prompted me to check Carsales and I was shocked to see some prices on R32 GTR's. Incredible - nothing under 40k? WHAT?

Who ever said cars were a liability.

My question - what happened, how did we get to this point?

i bought mine at a reasonable price, but i was just lucky that i bought it when i did (start of 2015) . by the end of 2015 the mean prices had doubled. sooo lucky.

there would be allot of guys who let theirs go for under 20k who would be hating life now. allot.... i watched them all sell in the year i spent looking.

 

there were plenty of "not that amazing" examples being sold for between 12-15k which given the opportunity again with the hindsight, i would probably have bought half of them.

What cars are advertised for and what they sell for are generally two very different things.

 

 

 

I can't imagine there would be a huge price discrepancy there.

Car yards put there prices up due to everytime they get an internet inquiry through carsales they are charged $60 as its treated as a leed whether they sell it or not, have seen it happen to alot of cars i have been looking at over the years, not just gtr's.

As for prices well, for those that think there sitting on a gold mine why dont you list it at what you think its worth & see how long it takes you to sell it for your asking price.

I bet you will have it for a very long time!
Top dollar prices are for the very rare unmolested in tip top shape only vehicles>
Just my thoughts.

Overseas buyers may be paying the prices but how many people in Australia are paying them? Just coz it's worth x in Japan to someone in another country does not mean it should b worth that much here. How many aus sellers are actually willing to ship their cars overseas to buyers who are paying the cash?

They're changing hands in Australia for higher prices as well

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
