How Much for a R32 GTS?

[Rochey]

Hey all,

Im new here and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how much it would cost me to import the cheapest of the cheap R32 GTS standard Skyline. I was going to save up and get an R33 GTS-T as i want a turbo when im older, but as ive barely had 6 months driving experience i want a non turbo car and being a skyline enthusiast it MUST be a skyline, unless it costs too much.

please take into consideration the following

-I have P plates until 29-10-2006 and live in vic. so power to weight ratio might be a b1tch.

-I dont care what year or model the car is as long as its a skyline

-I dont want an R31

- I was planning on buying the car around SEP 2005 so please take into consideration depreciation.

Thats about it, so any replies with advice or approx prices would be most appreciated

thanks in advance

Hey, welcome to Skylines Australia.

Well in Victoria the Power to Weight ratio is only a problem for R33 and R34 drivers on their Provisional license, so a R32 GTS-t or R32 GTS would be absolutely fine, insurance on the other hand is a totally different matter. If you were looking to import a Skyline R32 from Japan you should go through a broker such as Prestige Motorsport or J-Spec.

Here are a few examples of some reasonable R32 GTS-t's for sale from Prestige Motorsport:

As you'll see some do need work but you'll find some which are bloody beautiful and they're price will be attractive too, and will be more so in 2005. Goodluck with your search for a R32 GTS or GTS-t and Just Cars Insurance will help you out with insurance.

Thanx heaps mate, i plan on having 8G TOTAL though so i figured 7 for the car and 1 for imsurance and rego. im only gonna get 3rd party insurance. I really really would only ever get an R32 in BLACK aswell. And remember a standard GTS is all i want. a GTS-T i wouldnt say no to but im going for rock bottom pricing due to me only being 19 andnot haing much money. So the way i see it is in a years time ill have 8G. i dont mind waiting a lil longer though. i'd rather wait longer and pay less cheers

Ok i was looking on carpoint which seems to ussually have cars with rediculously high prices and found these 2 cars. both R32's. They seemed extremely well priced to me. Am i missing something here or are both of these cars steals?

don't forget dude it says "plus complience costs" at the end of each one. that could dig a bit of a hole in ya pocket espec if they up the price a bit more then what it actually costs them. but would be interesting to see how much the total price would be......

Rochey> Those two cars are both 4 doors, and in my experience are generally cheaper than your average 2 door coupe style 'Line. The second one on carpoint is a bit confusing as it's listed as a 5 speed auto? Correct me if i'm wrong but i thought they were only 4 speed autos?

Anyways, don't let that discourage you the R32 Skyline is an excellent car in any form

[Rochey]

Yeh i was confused if they had been complied or not. it says 'includes RWC plus complience' dosnt that mean its been complied? hmm dosnt really matter anyways as im looking at buying in 6-12 months so they will be long gone.

in the words of HPI: "A cheap GTR [or any skyline for that matter] is like buying a cheap Porsche: if you can't afford to own it, it doesn't matter if you can afford to buy it"

this applies to all cars. cars break. they cost lotsa money. and nissan parts are expensive. be prepared.
