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

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
