Just thought I might buy another GT-R after a 10 year hiatus building career and not touching cars after I sold my GT-R in 2007 for 26K?.  These numbers are insane, while I now have financial security I doubt I can convince myself to part with double the money for something similar.  Perhaps a 33 or 34 GT-R is an option instead if they haven't gone bananas as well  :down:  

There used to be 40+ 32 GT-Rs for sale in QLD, now its about 5 on carsales.  Are we really exporting all these to the yanks similar to Japan once was to us back in my day? or are they being crashed or hoarded since I last looked?

A lot of the ones on car sales have been there for a fair while so either they r shit and over priced or people are not prepared to pay the prices

R34s are worse than R33s in terms of price jumps. R33s are climbing as well, but better to buy a 33 IMO.

Have never liked the 33's but the numbers are starting to win me over.  No R32's worth looking at under $35,000, but there seems to still be a few good deals for 20-30K for R33 GTR's.  Surely you cant go too wrong with a well picked 33 especially when they start being imported to the USA in a few years.

R33 chassis is better than the R32. You can see the improved structural and aero bits. In hindsight, I should've waited a year and bought an R33 GT-R lol.

You would be in the minority to pick an R33 GTR over an R32 GTR..

Re Chassis:- Kurosawa explained this quite clearly as he compared the R32 GT-R to the R33 GT-R prior to taking the latter around Nurburgring in 8'01". 

The R32 GT-R could never get close to that.

i love my R32 and wouldnt swap it for a 33.

however im seriously thinking about buying a good R33 GTR while their cheap.

I'd be lying if I said that thought hadn't crossed my mind too......I'm just in the same boat (excuse the pun ;) ) as most other 32/34 fans, the 33 has never done it for me, only the series 3 midnight purple gets the juices flowing somewhat...

In terms of looks, nostalgia etc, R32 always. But the R33 is a better engineered car (since they had time to improve on things). If only it wasn't so bloated looking :(

Plus, the R32 electronics shit me lol damn HICAS.

$145k? I realise that it is worth whatever someone wants to pay but are prices really getting that high?

I'm pretty sure a few months ago this car was forsale for $66k. not sure what happened.

    • 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  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
