Alright /o/ so I fully plan on buying an R32 within the next

Get a 1k project and invest 14k into that instead of buying a 15k car from the 90s

The R32 was never available in the US, at least the GTR version, not sure about the other trims. That means finding one in the US is rare, finding one for sale is even more rare, thus the high price point Your best bet is to extend your Craigslist search to other NJ counties or other states. Or try ebay too. Or if you can't find anything, you're only other option is to import directly from japan. Try tradecarview.com, they always have R32's for sale straight from the island of the rising sun. The GTR R32 models (the best ones) can be bought for around 10k on there if you're lucky. Non GTR versions are cheaper usually

you have no idea what youre talking about.

They arent rare at all. esp since ones that hit that 25 yr mark have already been imported here.

but heres the thing if you buy one thats already in America you will be paying a ricer tax.

You'd struggle to find a clean one in the uk for £15k and they've been importing them here for years.
They were sub ten grand over here until they became legal in America.
I wonder will the r33 shoot up in price due to the same reasons. No one really wants a 33 though.

>>15630461
how reliable are they compared to say other cars made the same year?

>>15630459
ugh I love SCBros car
but yeah I've seen all of those.
Are the GTST models really that much worse than the RB26? Because I found this one, its all the way down in NC but shit if its worth it I'd make the trip http://charlotte.craigslist.org/ctd/5727216387.html

do some research yourself on skyline/gtr forums

from what ive read there is a huge difference. obviously the GTR is superior in every way possible

>>15630472
When new? Very.
Now, not so much. I think they have weak gearboxes or something and even a bone stock, unabused (yeah right) car is 25 years old now and will need all manor of tricky little things sorted, vacuum lines etc.

>>15630482
>Are the GTST models really that much worse than the RB26?
Don't the GTS-Ts have an RB20? That engine is fucking awful. If you're going to cheap out and not buy a GT-R at least get one that's been RB25DET swapped.

Look down in Florida. I seen a few for just under 20k with around 60k on the clock. A lot of importers are down there so the used market is more plentiful than up here in port elizabeth. Then you have to pay a hauler to get it up here.

>>15630442

Fuck off retard

>>15630445

10k and then a fuck load of headaches

>>15630447
OR you can just buy one off an importer who already has one in the country for about 20k and you can have it instantly instead of fighting with the DMV and importers and customs for 5 months. It's not an easy process and you can see that from asking people who've done it.

>>15630487
Besides the engine and trans is anything really different? There's a JDM engine depot like an hour away from me that sells the RB26

>>15630495
The rb20 is fine if you have a 4.3 diff with it. Everyone I've seen who say it's shit are either parroting Internet opinions, or had a tired one in a 240sx with a 3.6 diff. They need short gearing to make up for the small bore, short stroke design.

>>15630502

The GTST is rwd.

>>15630502
>Besides the engine and trans is anything really different?
This is bait right? They may as well be different cars with the amount of parts that are different. You realise one has the ATTESA AWD and the other is RWD right?

>>15630510
Driven a handful of R32s with them. They're just better with an RB25. RB20 and RB26 aren't even remotely in the same league.

google is your friend my dude.

the GTST doesnt come with the ATTESA, which is a four-wheel drive system that the GTR has.

I honestly dont think youre ready to spend 10k plus on a car you havent done research on.

>>15630520
Meant to say the RB20 isn't in the same league as an RB26 and that an RB25 in a non-GT-R is the way to go.

RB26 is obviously better than an RB25 once you do something about the oil issue on the R32s.

cars for midgets
looks cute, is cute
but nobody over 6' is getting in it

>>15630520
I've had my r32 for nearly 8 years. A healthy 20 with good compression and leakdown is the ultimate cheap power build kind of car. Swapping to a 25 makes a better street car, but they have weak ringlands so it's kind of a tradeoff.

>>15630534
nah I've loved the GTRs for a long time, I've just recently been able to realistically afford one
also been there done that, not buying another subaru

>>15630429
Come down to VA, there's an importer here with a nice showroom, gets R32 GTRs, even does financing, met the guy at a Wawa like a week ago

Also can be stupid fast.

There's one floating around making 380hp that will do 0-60mph in 3 seconds and 0-100mph in 6 seconds. They only weigh about 1500-1600lbs.

I was just about to tell him about that

currently this is their only GTR they have in stock and its a pending sale.

but they also have this GTST

>>15630562
They get stock in all the time, and if they don't have it you can request it but you probably have to put money down to let them know you're seriously gonna buy one

Do you guys think the R33 will appreciate like the 32 when eligible for import and will the 32 come down in price? The 32 is my dream car but I'd settle for a 33.

>>15630757
About fucking zero brah, they never imported Chasers here and there wasn't a model that used the same platform here either

>>15630758
Yeah, 32 should drop when the 33s are legal, but that also depends on the demand for them
