I bought a car magazine with dvd coming with it. i saw this "twoogle" gt-r there for the first time. beautiful car.

all the best with the car. this car will always put smile on its owner's face :D

you have obviously viewed the DVD, im a smilely sort of fella...lol

not your average serious car hoon, this car is like family now and due to our new business opening it is needed for promotional purposes and no longer for sale.

someone missed out on a bargain as it cost almost double the asking price to get it to this level.

it will be back at the track soon sporting some serious power and driveline upgrades.

In the market for a mildly modified (close to standard) 32 gt-r at the moment.

One time i was at Borders and saw this magazine with dvd. Looked the back of it and saw an r32 gt-r. Ok I said to myself i'm gonna buy and go home and watch it. So there I was sitting on my sofa watching this gt-r. "Wow nice. Fast!" i said :D. About low mount turbos, i have no idea at all heheh :D. I'm kinda newbie to this. "What a lucky man to have this kind of car" i remember saying that again... and the fact that you built it from scratch with all the time and effort spent is even better. i can understand why it makes it feels like family.

Heheh and now i'm talking to you :(... So i can repeat myself again, and this time in front of this laptop to you:

"You are lucky mate" :).

hundreds - and maybe more - of us can only dream of having 32 gt-r like urs :).

Just wanna say Good luck with it. All the best with the new business too!

We are all waiting to hear from (and watch more DVDs of) an even more improved Twoogle in the future :)

thank you for your kind words...

Car has now been fitted with a full genuine HKS T51R SPL BB kit (modified with new 108mm front wheel as per the new HKS T62 turbo), PPG fully optioned straight cut dogbox (billet main shaft, idler shaft, input shaft and sandwich plate $12 000), brand new Nismo 2 way rear diff, fully rebuilt and modified transfer case and NPC twin plate race clutch, Vi-PEC ecu etc..

Should make 900+ AWHP and will be a high 8 second car once sorted.

A similar car just sold recently for $30 000 more and these cars have become almost twice as expensive to build due to the crashing aussie dollar.

Might be still for sale with the right money as a business deal has come up that i may have an option on.

PM me if you have a serious offer and cash ready. If not ill be racing it soon.

They dont realise how much money has to be spent on this car to be where it is.

They are getting an absolute bargain at $55,000. I was considering selling mine at $80,000. But looks like no one appreciates how much TIME and MONEY there has been spent on these sorts of cars.

Great car mate I think i might just sell mine in parts.

price reduction $55 000

The sale bug is contagous!

It sucks selling our cars for 50% of the build cost, not to mention the blood, sweat and tears that goes into them.

Such is life i suppose ;)

Shaun.

bit steep mate

you can import a r32 gtr these days for 15k

:D

Are you serious mate?

Im pretty sure this is the quickest low mount GTR in the world. A $15K import will need at least $10k spent on it just to get it up to scratch, and it'll still be a sh1tter. You clearly dont really know what youre talking about.

i think its a sh1t stir due to the smiley tongue out on the bottom...

$15K is about what the gearbox is worth...supplied, built and fitted (PPG straight cut fully optioned billet dogbox) :)

BTW its no longer a low mount car...New HKS T62/T51R SPL BB turbo kit fitted.

Oh yeah, i forgot about the single conversion Paul. Oops.

And yeah, agreed, the smiley face makes me look like an idiot doesnt it. Ill just go now............ :huh:

but i know a mate, who knows a mate who can get me a skyline gearbox for $800....

ok, I will stop now.

absolutely love this car. 55k is an absolute steal. If only I was single again, and not paying off two morgages....

Shaun, watched the buildup of your car on here. Disgusts me that you are selling it for as little as you are, as I have spent 15k on top of purchase price on my r32 last year, and I would be ashamed to park it even in the same suburb as yours.

I will quit the random chat. Good luck with the sale.

the myth that i will let this car go for between 30-40K is just that...a myth.

if you don't have 50K+ to part with then unfortunately you will have to look elsewhere.

ive already knocked back a 45K offer.

thanks

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
