  1. Hi

    Glad to hear you are still around. Time flies. I think its 5 yrs next month.

    Certainly is your old car.

    There was some head damage but basically it was quicker to get another motor at the time.

    Planned to rebuild the old one with all the good bits but one of those things that hasn't happened.

    Certainly have all the bits to build a really good one.

    I would imagine whoever bought the GTR would want at least the old block.

    The new motor is a R33 GTR. RB26dett

    Rings, bearings and turbos overhauled. Goes very well.

    Getting almost the same hp you were getting with just a little extra boost and a fairly standard motor.

    GTR still goes well. Nice and tight. Scary fast.

    Got in touch with the original owner's son who told me it was his mother's car mainly.

    She had it painted black.

    Like to sell to someone who will appreciate her.

    That's my old car !

    Can't believe it's been 5yrs since I had it up here on the forums for sale.

    I still miss this one :(

    The original motor clicked over 240,000kms before the idler pulley seized as the car was being parked. So valves will be bent in the old motors head. Worth grabbing the old engine so as to have matching numbers.

    The dodgy on the paint code may have something to do with the owner previous to me having a this car and a silver one. The silver one had a black paint code from memory.

    Is the new motor a reconditioned one Frank?

    Someone buying this car will certainly be getting a nice GTR. Having owned a few , this one is my favorite. :D

  2. First owner was apparently a well off dentist with a country practice in Bunbury.

    I assume he actually wanted a black one in the first place.

    Perhaps out of respect to the cat??

    Under the bonnet certainly doesn't look as though its been changed.

    Certainly not all silver under the bonnet, check the immaculate one for sale on the forum is still black under the bonnet. This is a great chance for someone to restore this thing and get a bargain.. Needing a full respray after hitting a cat though... Would be blown away if the front lip needed replacing..

  3. The first owner painted the car black after hitting a cat very early in the piece.

    Apparently Black was a $5000 option.

    I think all the Australian cars are a light grey under the bonnet.

    The paint code KJ1G on the vehicle plate is for Jet Silver Metallic, not black that the car is painted. May explain the mis-matched engine bay colour.

    Good luck with the sale.

    It is in excellent condition, drives very well, only needing some cosmetic improvements to be perfect.

  5. Can anyone tell me the best way to buy a car in the Eastern States and import into WA.

    Both for new and second hand cars.

    I have been told that I will need to pay stamp duty twice or else that unless I can prove I live in, say Victoria, I can't transfer or register the car into my name.

    Obviously people buy cars in ES and bring them to WA.

    Can you help?

  6. About 4 years ago bought an Aussie R32 GTR with a damaged engine. Apparently the idler puller had let get (when it was idling, cooling down after a dyno run) and did major damage to the head when the timing went out.

    I replaced the motor with a fresh R33 GTR motor (I still have the original motor plus a spare block, head and gearbox, other bits like dump pipes and bigger turbos). New clutch, new brakes.

    I have only driven about 4,000km since the new engine.

    Overall mechanically good.Interior very tidy. Minor cosmetic body problems and a few spots of rust near windscreen that haven't changed in 4 years. Pretty much original condition except for bigger intercooler and exhaust.Drives well. 246,000 kms.

    I no longer have much opportunity to drive it and it is a car that would do better being used than stored.

    I was hoping it may be an appreciating asset but I am not sure if I should sell it or store it for 10 yrs.

    I am not sure what it would be worth as there are a couple of these, possibly better condition, chasing $78k and $60k.

    Any thoughts?

    Frank

  7. R32 GTR

    Aircon stopped working. Wasn't cold.Before that the compressor was making a bad noise.

    When I turned aircon on the engine revs would go up and down every few seconds.

    I thought this would fix itself when I had the compressor changed and the aircon regassed.

    Unfortunately it is still happening.

    I have an apexi power FC.

    Anyone have the same problem or know whats wrong?

    Frank

  8. I am stripping my " blown up " RB26dett

    How does the Crank timing Gear come off?

    Harmonic balancer is off.

    How do I pull the Crank Timing Gear off?

    Needs to come off so I can remove oil pump.

    Cant find it in the Manual.

    If its supposed to come off easy, mine is jammed on.

    Am I missing something obvious?

    Thanks
