I know your hearing this alot but If I could sell the hg monaro Ive for sale and get the cash together Id be very interested! It sounds like a wicked car!

No its the current market, as you'll see by reading back I started out over $24k back in April.

Its going cheap now because ultimately the stock engine will require a rebuild as is evident with the lowish compression figures which I'll know exactly tomorrow as its in the shop getting a compression test today.

Right now I dont have the time nor the money really to rebuild the engine and I dont really get time to play with toys much these days so the money is best spent on my house / paying the mortgage etc. Look at any mortgage calculator and workout how much interest you save after a lumpsum payment over the life of the loan. The savings in interest for me will be 89k and 1year and 10 months. Mortgages change everything. consider it a 7.5% guaranteed return on my $12k compunded for 30 years. Not to mention saving the 2k per year in rego and insuranaces.

I hope that answers your question.

Too bad you're not in Victoria....we could probably sell your car on consignment for way more than what you're asking.....

I'd have to talk to Jon about that first, though.....have you tried contacting other dealers in NSW to sell on consignment with them?

Just got the compression checked for all those interested:

125-125-125-125-120-115

Latest power run was 263rwkw @ 17psi boost.

$12k will buy it.

Serious buyers can look today and tomorrow until deposit taken.

Thanks for the PMs all answered I think.

The car has never been involved in any accidents.

No money is owing - I own it outright.

Paint has some minor scratches but otherwise looks good. Just been polished and looks mean.

Car is very clean and tidy, solid mechanicals esp. suspension = top of the range full adjustable Tein type flex with electronic in-cabin dampening adjustment: 16 levels of Soft -> hard front and back. this setup was $2600 for parts alone.

Those compression read outs don't look too bad.. Low numbers shouldn't be taken as a sign of wear and tear.. Evenness across the board with little variance is what you're looking for and 125-115 isn't tooo bad..

The market really is absolutely dead.. For turbo's that is..

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
