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.

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

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
