GT-R32

I went to Sydney to check it out. Drove home early and didn't attend the auction when I saw the interest in the GTR LOL At $96k it's not cheap when you add the premium and then EFT fees... Dealer will slap $110k on it though. Certainly a success for you there Aaron. Plenty of money still out there for these cars!

That Lumley clause is really just putting into words what can and can't happen with regard to declining a claim for a modified vehicle, should the claim make it to the ombudsman. Basically an insurance company can only decline a claim if: 1. The modification/accessory/alteration contributed to the loss; and 2. They would have declined to offer insurance if the vehicle alteration was disclosed. The onus is on the insurance company to provide evidence on both of these. Keep in mind the first point can include a stereo or wheels making a car more attractive to a thief or target of being vandalised.

Sold.

Thanks Richard. Deposit taken, hurts but it seems like it's going to a good home. Thanks for all the interest.

Thanks for the kind words Neil.

Thanks Joe. A blue slip Shaolin Curse, it went straight over when I registered it in the ACT years ago. All it had was an advice on the ignition key being sticky; it was a GTR one, brand new and the way it was cut.

Thanks Richard, but it's time. I just hope it goes to a good home and gets looked after.

1989 Nissan Skyline GTR It hurts to do this given how much I’ve put into this car over the last 3 and a bit years, but I barely do several hundred kms a year in it and it has to go. I’ve got too many cars. I wanted to do this car in a sort of GTR OEM+ kind of way. I don't want to think what I've spent on it on little bits and pieces. It’s done about 5,000 kms in this state. Most of the work performed by ESP in Queanbeyan unless stated otherwise. I’ve probably missed plenty, but here we go... Block I was told it was an R34 engine block when I bought it The car was daily driven by the previous owner for several years after he imported it from Japan in 2005 It’s in great condition and always starts straight away even after sitting for months, excellent oil pressure Never done anything like limiter launches (or any hard launches for that matter) Oil Always serviced regularly with Motul oil GReddy Oil Cooler JDM Ghetto Oil Catch Can GReddy Oil FIlter Relocation Kid Cooling ARC Radiator Nismo Thermostat Intake Genuine Airbox with K&N Filter element HKS metal intercooler pipes Turbos -5s ~5,000kms since fitted Exhaust R34 N1 Exhaust Manifolds R33 GTR Dump Pipes HKS front pipe 5” body 100 cell Cat Converter HKS Cat Back Exhaust ECU/Boost Control HKS EV-C EBC Apexi Power FC and Hand Controller Power 307rwkw at 18psi (power held back due to stock injectors – see below) Spark Fresh Copper Plugs Splitfire Coilpack Gear Box Stock in excellent condition ORC709D Twin Plate Clutch barely 3,000 kms old Suspension/Brakes/Wheels Bilstien Shocks Springs Tomei HICAS lock A heap of adjustable bits Fresh Bushes where applicable Tuned in Japan and finalised here at Inline Steering and Suspension Fresh brake pads TE37 17 x 9 +22 Genuine and restored, painted in R35 GTR grey with brand new centre caps (stickers not fitted again – have them) Toyo T1R 255/40/17 at about 95% – excellent tyres Body Excellent condition, paint is good but not perfect, looks spot on from a couple of feet (photos show) The chassis was indicating 111k on it when I changed to the Nismo gauge set (off top of my head) I bought this car because of this, my brother who owns a panel shops said no accident damage (he owns a panel shop), with all original radiator mounts etc still in place Nismo/N1 head lights Nismo/N1 front bar Nismo/N1 bonnet lip Nismo/N1 boot lip New legal tint Genuine badges (some new – had to chase these) Smoked indicators (D-Speed) – also have originals Interior Excellent condition, I took a long time finding the right parts to finish this off nicely Everything works Mongoose immobiliser/alarm Pioneer front and rear speakers, Pioneer headunit (with aux cord for iPod etc) Recently fitted Nismo 260kmh speedo set and white LEDs Always had seat covers on, no tears in the seats Carpets like new Even peddles look excellent and near new Steering wheel is mint No dash bubbles New genuine gear knob New leather boots New genuine Nismo mats New genuine Nismo alcantara books holder Two genuine GTR keys Depending on the price the following can be included: Extra rego 700cc injectors Apexi pod intake Gates timing belt N1 Water pump Tomei cam gears Heap of other spares (eg. 2 more steering wheels as a chased a mint one, speedo cluster, centre gauges, etc) I never got around to fitting these parts as was my plan for the next round of mods to take advantage of the turbos. But it still drives sweet as is. I just hope someone can give it the attention I have. Price $19,000 Contact Matt 0412 109 046 matthew . hackett (at) live . com . au or feel free to PM Pics

Reminds me of mine a little bit!

Coming along nicely, great to see an updated after all this time.

Very tidy car. Looks great.

I'm sure they certainly have - it was over 6 years ago. I suppose I'm coming from a commercial perspective where underwriters tend to consider the risk itself, rather than being so black and white.

They are black and white about garaging which can certainly be frustrating. It would be nice if the underwriter did some underwriting and asked a few questions, because if it's under cover, off the street and out of view it's low risk.

Best advice there is, read the policy wording. It's what you're buying!

25 can still and is very often a rating point. It's just that they've introduced others. And not all companies are the same. I'm sure Shannons use both 25 and 29, for instance, while LSV aim for the lower risk segment.

f**k that second last one looks like my car before I fitted the lip and clear indicators. Great pictures of all of them.

Looks brilliant Richard.

My 1989 was the opposite (black covered spokes on the rear), unless the wheel I got with it was its second. In any case, it has the plastic covered boss wheel now which is mint, it's lighter anyway.

Great pic... Are they noisy at speed?

They do look decent, how is the wind noise with them fitted? I'm pretty keen for a set now after seeing that pic. Would also love to see some pics of them from further back.

Very neat Michael.

Spotted a white R33 GTR turning right onto Torrens Street at about 8.25am. Original rims, painted front lip I think.

Very tidy, I love the rims.

Some pics I took of mine with my phone, new tints and clear corner lenses are the only external changes: And my other one:

Very neat looking car, looks quite similar to mine in way.
