Is this Labuan car?Would say it`s cheap for Borneo side.AP price is lot cheaper compare Peninsular

If not mistaken, Labuan is duty-free zone, like Langkawi... cars are extremely cheap as there's no import duties to be paid....

But this car is registered in KK... so if it's a straight car, it's a really good bargain.

Anyway, I'm salivating again here in UK, so many R32 GTRs to choose from, all cheap cheap.

Let me share some examples:

Yup, check all the things I mentioned first, if ok, then it's superb value for money....

R33s are very spacious, even the rear seats are comfy and plenty of legroom.
I've ridden in a R32 before and it feels a lot more compact, esp. for bigger-sized people.

On the other hand, R32 feels more nimble and sporty.

Bro,

I tore the ligament in my left forearm and then I ignored it, actually didn't realize the it was that bad - thought was sprained - so it healed by itself but ended up pressing against the nerves that run along my wrist to the thumb, forefinger and middle finger. Basically the opposite of carpal tunnel syndrome.

I had a brace on for nearly 4-6 months and next week going to Sports Clinic for cortisol injection since I'm avoiding surgery at all costs.

R34s can cost upto 300k bro. That's like 3 times more right.

No, R32 is same as R33 I think. Now both cannot get loan.

R34 is much more expensive, if you take loan, you still have to pay for it. But you will also add:
1. Interest for the loan
2. Depreciation of the car

So any owner of R34 is richer than owner/buyer of R32/R33. Simple

yes, the price of bnr34 is the highest among all but most ppl can go full loan to get the car. most ppl may not need cash rich to get bnr34 but as for bnr32 u must have at least rm100k cash in hand to get it. so imagine a guy who is willing to pay rm100k to buy an old bnr32 then i shud say he is loaded. i would say any1 single who has rm10k income per month is applicable to loan for bnr34.

im not talking about all bnr34 owners are not rich, but as for bnr32 owners confirm they are!!!

Buy a GTR if you are planning to maintain and enjoy the bond of owning one of the finest ride ever. Loan for 34GTR is definite easier and surely the last of the RB engines, considering the amount of mods available is really a long list to really empty ur pocket or bank balance. Be sensible on your purchase is all i can advice for a newbie.

As a daily driver im still very happy with a GTT....

What about not-so-newbie?

But seriously, I've owned a GTR on a loan before...not a pleasant feeling. I'd rather own it outright in cash (or a special overdraft drawn upon an appreciating asset )

I've never actually taken out a loan on a car before even when I had a few at a time and I have no idea how I would ever sleep at night with the thought of installments looming over me and then want to modify some more.

Actually, I don't even have a credit card even from when I was in investment banking. I wouldn't trust myself. Which is ironic cause people would trust bankers with their money and I didn't trust myself with anyone's money LOL

Agreed! You're so matured for someone so young! As Ali G said, reeessspectttt

From suffering through GTR ownership before, I would use a rule-of-thumb that if you want to own a GTR, you must have at least RM100k in cash allocated for the car.

Because if someone takes a high-margin loan out, it's very easy to quickly lose RM100k on the car.

LOL bro, I'm not that young. To be honest, I don't know how one would juggle installments for cars, then running costs, parking, toll, petrol not to mention house mortgage, bills, groceries, school fees, etc. When I think of it all, it seems like too much to bear and I don't know if I ever have it in me to take on such responsibilities especially if it involves having a family.

It used to cost me about 25k a year to insure all 3 modded cars and around 8k to maintain them and even then the cars were paid for in cash so thats only for monthly servicing, toll, parking, petrol (full tank per day for whichever car I used for the day), car wash, etc. Eg: The 350Z had to have its bumper and side skirts touched up and resprayed monthly cause it was very low.

And that's not inclusive of modifications. Looking back, I regret buying the STI and I'm glad its recently out of my life cause if I could do it all over again, I could have bought an R32 and R33 for the same amount I spent on that lousy POS.

Adoi...
Those Scooby will come and hunt you soon for the POS Remark la


My car is really POS
slow.. useless.. problematic

 

[farique]

I hope STi's owners / die-hard fans didnt hear/read that.




Gobiz, take RIPS's 32.. and let him 'do' the 32 and then bring it home...

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share my experience of nearly buying an R32GTR

It was a 1991 car and was supposedly quite loaded (e.g. twin 2530s, etc etc)

The problem was when I went to view the car, it was broken into already. It did not have seats, dashboard was messed up, ECU was gone. The car was in the shits.

The original asking price of RM125K obviously was no longer logical, the seller however did not want to reduce the price to less than 100k.

Overall the chassis looked alright, bodywork was great though.

In retrospect, I have no idea whether I missed buying a lemon or not.

HAHA.

The R32GTR will always be the legend. It is the purest, rawest and thus most charistmatic (short of the KPGC) of all the GTRs (35 included). Its look is unmistakable.

I believe if you can find one that is relatively pristine (V-spec even better), its more than a worthwhile buy. Think about it...

Instant street cred.
A legend will always be a legend
Cult classic
Lightest chassis
Rawest format.

The R33 and 34s are amazing cars no doubt in terms of technology and refinement. Esp over a R32
But an interesting observation amongst collectible items is the fact that Porsche owners will always bow to the 964s 911s although they are most probably slower than the 997s and less refined etc.... Its because the older cars have soul and purity of purpose. The newer ones are just watered down variations of the original vision

The R33 and R34 will always remain as that, truly capable japanese rockets with amazing potential. But when it comes to the subjective value of desirability and reputation, the one true GODZILLA is still the R32 GTR.

Just my 2 cents.

P.s. The R33GTR looks like a perdana coupe, I quote a female friend of mine. The R34GTR looks like a flying brick. The 35GTR looks like a mutated 350Z. but having said that she said the R32 looks like an 80's racing car which is what it essentially is anyways.

Well, if die-hard Subaru fans then what are they doing in the Skyline section? Unless they secretly yearn for RB love. :wavey:

Also, I'm speaking from experience - I've gone to what was supposedly the better Subaru guys around (won't mention names) and they had their custom 2.3 stroker kit (not a typo) which costs 40k all in and I was taken for a test drive.

Although I'm thankful for the demo and the courtesy shown by the owner and his staff - this guy's enthusiasm and willingness to share info I believe is what makes their workshop well known - I was not impressed with the performance. He was seriously whacking it on Guthrie and still with all that money, it was hardly bang for your buck.

I'd say most Subaru's around struggle to get past the 400hp atw range and those who do either exaggerate or one of the few around. Fast GTRs have been around since the days of CAN1 and since then countless others have produced massive HP. Subarus locally still have a long way to go. I'm not saying their bad cars, they are really fun on certain roads but dollar for dollar the GTR will go faster with less money and mods.

 

[elsm80]

They're fun in spurts but are in no way wangan monsters.

I enjoy tailing them on the highway.

They try and try and try and try...
