R32 Gts-t With Blown Engine

hey all, ive got a mate whos planning on going overseas for a while. he owns a '89 r32 gts-t and is looking to get rid of it.

problem is the engine is gone, spun a bearing he thinks but it warrants a new engine from what ive heard, just curious on how much it would be worth if he tried to sell it as is.

its a nice straight car, stock other than a pod/exhaust and a mechanical lsd. also an alarm + nice sound system too. the kind you see going for around the 10k mark with a working engine. ive searched the 'for sale' forums for him but all the shells there are missing a fair few parts or theyre not registrable.

looking for an approximate of how much its worth atm

all input greatly appreciated!

Well my mates apprentice recently bought an R32 4dr in Perth for $6k for a busted head and the top end in pieces.. ended up costing $150 to fix the head and now it goes sweet. Came with coilovers, cat back, GTR front bar and a nice paint job.

if you got a bit of time and some spare garage space it doesnt take too long at all. Ive swapped an engine in my s13 took 2 weekends jus doing it in my spare time. Jus label everything before you pull it off, its not as complicated as you might think.

A workshop would prolly charge you around the 1k mark to do a swap (obviously price depends on where u get it done)

I'm with 32line, a gtst with no motor is worth no more than $2k. I paid $4k for the last GTR shell I bought.

Sorry if thats not what you wanted to hear but they arent worth much - about the only person who needs a 32gstt without a motor is someone building a race car from scratch.

best bet is to put the cheapest motor you can find in it

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
