Troubles Selling My R32 Gtt


Recommended Posts

I tried to talk Mel out of the WRX idea.... they seem to attract the same if not more attention than our skylines. A work mate bought one when his little fella was born, and was defected the next day!

The forrester isnt a bad idea.... but two 'girls' at work drive them.

LS1 concumption around town is quoted at 14.5 - 15.5 around town, which is again RB territory I believe.

Looks like we may be taking an offer of $16,500 on Mel's car, and be done with it.

PS.. we got 5 hours straight last night!!!

5hrs straight is awesome (considering the weather)! Hope all is going well for your new family. Our little 3wkold Deontae was hot yesterday, no more than 3hrs during nights. *yawn*

Considered the WRX hatch, but boot space for pram, dog, 2kids belongings, etc..... not big enough, and the Forrester GT was a bit too expensive (same price as a Series2 Stagea).

*yawn, sleepy*

Stagea wins out, an import, Nissan, rb25det, awd, etc, great value & perfect for a 3to4-person family. Under 20k gets a great-nick unit, mine was under 18k.

I like the performance (got around 230-oddkw at engine) and capabilities of the Stagea, and the lines are sleek-as. Tasty, and a treat to own. Best car purchase Ive made, and for your 16500 sale its basically a car-exchange plus stampduty. =)

Im paying ~$900 for full comp insurance thru Shannons, I think replacement value for my Series1 Stagea is ~$22k (a few mods), plus Im paying around the same for the CBR thru Shannons, with that valued at $13k.

There are probably less than a dozen Stagea's in SA...... so you get a unique vehicle and authorities wouldnt have a clue as to what it is, whats standard etc. A true Stealth Wagon and great value for money; in my opinion.

If Mel wants to have a test drive, PM me Pauley.

Cheers BW.

Put the little fella in the laundry if you need a good nights sleep!

As far as selling the 32.... another withdrawn offer.

SPOTTERS FEE = $100 per $300 over $16,500 sale price!!

my wife had an r33 series 2 25gtst and we sold it for the same reason. cant fit child capsule properly . i wouldnt go for o taxi though so bought a wrx. mind you the turn a cot capsule does fit safely in the 32 gtr . my daughter loves dadys car but can seem funny cruising around with high five tunes playing . lol as far as the back goes get dady to put bub in the capsule. CONGRATS by the way. having kids is one of the best things to happen to a person these days other than owning a skyline.

I hate to break it to you pawley but last time i checked i am a girl!

how is the insurance of stagea?

I pay $1600 for my skyline in insurance (because i'm under 25), and they said they would do the same price on a 1996 stagea.

$1600 is total reamage (soz).

See the Stagea section, "Insurance" should be on page 1, if not then page 2.

Im only a couple of years older than you, but..... Im sure you could get it down a little to near $1100 maybe.

Good luck with the sale, & I hope bubs is going well.

Im 28, rating one / 65% no claim bonus.

Got quoted from between over $2000 to under $1000.

Im with Shannons, but JustCars was actually cheaper just didnt have paybymonth option.

With Shannons, the more oplicies you have (ie both your turb' cars) the cheaper it is. And a fixed price, modified, etc etc.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
