White nothing, R32 GTS-t's go for 100,000Y - 200,000Y standard / minimal mods in auctions. which is about $1500 - $3000 AUD.

i doubt rezz will tell u his price, caus it will probably make u cry :rofl:

Polski's prices are without shaken (Japanese tax-rape-disguised-as-roadworthyness-check)... as noted in the other thread, could add anywhere in the vicinity of 100,000 yen onto those prices.

I will tell you this though: I got my car WITH 2 years shaken (the usual duration for over 3 year old cars) for less than 300,000 yen... :rofl:

Come on Rezz, how 'bout some more details? Age, mileage, "rating", etc? We want details dammit :D

Cheers,

Unless it's bought at auction, it won't have a 'rating', other than one you might attribute to it personally

if you want to check out average japanese caryard prices - use the japanese automotive links thread (it's a sticky) - there is a section in there for car sales. You should be able to bumble your way through those sites (easily if you some minimal japanese skills) - but you can always ask for help if you need it

One thing to note - the price advertised is not the 'real' price (the same goes for 'windscreen' prices you see in car yards, the 'real' price is usually on a sheet inside each car). There are a handful of extra charges that may need to be applied - local tax, name change, shaken, and so on - these costs vary between cars - due to things such as location, type of car, etc. 100,000 is about the average 'add-on' cost if shaken is required - though this can sky-rocket if there are problems with the car. I've always bought a car that had shaken, or bargained free shaken into the price (it's a good haggling point).

speaking of other charges , can someone plz inform me of the costs of buying a car in Japan ? I know its different in each city as they have their own taxes.

but maybe someone can give me an example of a 500,000Y vehicle. ?

Rezz, what are you paying for your car space in Kobe? Im hopefuly moving to Kobe march/april next year :P

I know, that's why I put rating in inverted commas :P

I am not personally interested in R32 GTS-t's in general, just after some specifics on Rezz's car, but he seems to want to remain a little secretive about it, probably because its full of NOS bottles and T04Rs :(

LW.

so apart from what I can see in hte pics, like pod, wheels etc... is it standard, or are there some mods like coilovers I can't see?

any major plans?

I like GTR's, why I am importing one(only 2 months to go now!!!) but my first performance car was a 32 GTST, and will always have a softspot for them :P

As the car was bought privately there is no rating...but given the age, kilometres, condition etc...I also rate it as a 3.5. It has a bit of rust and bit rough around the edges but given the age and Ks the car looks good and it runs beautifully. As for the pricing Justin has already indicated approximate, and you can't beat mates rates.

Before Justin there was another buyer (a mate) and myself who were interested in picking up this car as a drifter, then Justin mentioned he was in the market for an R32 and rest you all know about.

Some pics from yesterday... DIY! Who needs a garage???

Troy, thanks HEAPS for coming around yesterday and helping/buying extras, I really appreciate it. :rofl: ... oh, and we were neck and neck last night, but I had a passenger and you didn't... :( hehehe

Lookin good Justin :rofl:

DIY in the street - bet you got more than a few strange looks from the locals, 2 gaijins, car in pieces, swearing loudly when "that bl00dy bolt won't come undone!" :(:D;)

lunch at Makudonarudo's I see ;):D

Have you noticed much difference with the new intercooler on? Is the turbo more laggy? Looks like the front cross member is covering a large part of the cooler up - any plans for a new bumper - get more air into it?

I got the same cooler! Makes very little difference in terms of response. Only advantage is that you can run higher boost (plus cooler in warmer weather - but make a partition of the A'PEXi power intake too).

Try cutting out the part where the front number plate goes, a lot of the cooler is hidden behind that.

Rezz's car is fairly similar to mine (at least the engine anyway).

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
