I don't think i'd ever pay more than $20k for an 89 unless it was in mint condition not a scratch/fault/missing part. Even then i'd have a long hard think about it simply because of it being 15yrs old, hell I cringe at the thought my my '95 R33 GTS-t is 10yrs old already and wanting something 'newer'.

Ben, mate, I honestly don't think that is ever going to be a problem. No one is going to sell a mint GT-R for $20k.

mint 20k gtr's do not exist.. and theres nothing wrong with '89 gtrs. Its still an R32 and is no different to the 1990 etc so whats the fuss? Obviously there is a large amount of 89's because everyone was told 15yo rule was ending so people went nuts. There are some really good ones out there.

someone said that they have all been on the track the last few years, thats why you don't buy one without rego, if its got rego at least you know it hasn't been a track skank

if they don't have rego either, you also have to ask

a) what problem made it too costly, or too difficult to get the shaken (or whatever it is) when rego renewal came up.

B) how long has it been sitting there unrego'ed in some field somewhere? waiting for some guy to hear about overseas wanting old cars, quickly scrubbing it up and flogging it off.

    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
