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

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
