Damaged 1989 R32 GT-R Skyline

Damaged in an accident, large impact at passenger side front wheel and lesser impact at centre of boot/bumper.

All running gear has been repaired - the car rolls straight. Engine starts and runs fine.

Requires front guard replacement, boot pulling straight and some other minor bodywork to be roadworthy - have not officially assessed the cost.

Engine, gearbox, running gear and all interior is in very good or better condition, including seats, trims, gauges. Wheels are damaged, requires new.

Driver's side of the car is perfectly straight.

Could possibly be repaired, expect $5k-10k.

Excellent project or superb parts car. Someone buying a front cut would be over the moon with this.

Nismo body kit, gunmetal grey.

Photos available shortly (will update).

Located in Cannon Hill area, SE QLD.

Looking for interest at this stage will update with photos shortly.

Interested.

Is it still registered?

No Insurance?

Are you still able to drive around?

No, not able to drive. Accident was more than 12 months ago, car has only been started once a month or so since then.

The panel damage is serious, make no mistake. To get roadworthy I would expect:

Whole rear quarter panel (passenger).

Front guard (passenger)

Set of wheels.

Fix leaky master cylinder (brake master).

Bunch of panel beating, including pulling the boot out where it's wedged in.

Painting, rego, a headlight, wing mirror, etc.

My mechanic replaced bent up running gear, it all bolted straight up - it all APPEARS straight. But has not been driven at speed nor properly assessed by a panel shop. Photos will clarify the damage.

The car (and me >_< ) were in a stupid accident (me being the stupid part). I clipped another car and spun through a fence, basically. Lost license, last straw, no more fast cars for me for some years now. Hence, just selling not fixing as I was planning (already done the suspension/CV/etc).

Didn't have insurance because of alcohol in system :P

Lessons learnt, bad night.

In addition:

R32 Vspec Brembo Calipers (think it's stock cylinders though).

Tomei 320km/h speedo (has 70k on it, will be a complete lie. Would say 100-120k).

New 3800lb Raceclutch clutch about 500kms before accident.

Couple of almost new Toyo T1Rs.

Titanium cat back exhaust (Fujitsubo) - but the muffler is crumpled >_< I don't know if it could be fixed or even if it's worth it.

I see. so insurance said it was a repairable etc. not write off?

Pretty risky buy if you said the running gear was bent and now straightened all up.

Ah well.. pictures will help.

Thanks

Well, these are two old photies with the colour etc I guess, and the engine bay. It's so sad seeing it all in one piece.

The engine bay is the same, just REALLY dusty. Those pics are about a month or so before the accident.

The passenger side in the pic is mostly unrecognisable bar the door which miraculously has only minor damage - repairable.

I will of course get current, more mangled pics as soon as I can.

No insurance didn't say repairable - as I said - it's completely unassessed - I mean by insurance or a panel beater. I'm not really expecting someone to buy it to repair it unless they are the in the panel-type business. For someone like that it would be doable because they would know what's involved but besides that as you say too risky. Someone who is planning on buying a front cut or a motor would likely want to buy this instead and get heaps more stuff for not much more money, I am hoping. Or, some panel beater might like a cheap GT-R :blink:

A few years ago it would go in a second to someone with a Silvia! :)

Yes, photos will help - but let me be clear it's not a quick fix, and not for the faint of heart. If it were, I would certainly not be selling it for as low as I am!

EDIT:

As far as the running gear, what had to be replaced was all on passenger front: CV, control arms, strut - basically all that corner, which impacted at the wheel. The rest of the running gear was all okay.

By unassessed, it has had no involvment with the insurance company or/and the police? As this would stop it from ever being driven on the roads again.

Thanks.

Okay. Number one I don't really want to bleed my heart out with all my personal stuff on this forum, but since you've made the point:

I had an accident, one other car was inolved with minimal damage which I paid out in cash - I have signed paperwork saying it's all sorted (over 12 months ago now). The police did not visit the scene. The police do not and never did have the car's details. As far as anyone is concerned, it's just a car with lapsed rego. The car hit a fence, that also was fully paid very promptly and is finished with.

There will be nothing stopping it being registered as far as I can tell - except of course roadworthiness.

All that said - as I said earlier - I'm not particularly hoping or expecting someone will buy to repair. It's intended to be a parts car. If someone wants to go down that road, it's up to them. The car will check out with all the various authorities, it's all kosher.

Please for personal-info related enquiries send a PM or wait for photos and then come and have a chat about it, not doing more on this forum!

Guys as for parts requests (front bar, console) I'm not looking at them at this point. Feel free to post your wishes and you'll have preference should I be forced to sell bits and pieces.

I want the whole car to go and if I rip stuff off the car that will get hard to do.

I will give it a few weeks, and if it doesn't sell I'll get it towed to my mechanics and pay him to rip the expensive bits out, then sell them.

I really want to avoid that hassle and pain - I do think I could possibly make more money though doing that with some time and patience.

FYI the front bar is a bit cracked from a gutter, though pretty much survived the accident I think. I will sell if I can't sell the lot.

The console/dash/gauges are in excellent condition, all working. Even has original (but worn) gearshift knob, steering wheel, pedal rubbers - even mats!

Seats are in great condition with one (very) little smoke burn which happened before I got it.

If I can get home early enough today I'll get the pics done.

      As I've said elsewhere, I am using the stock intercooler piping path in the engine bay, and a return flow cooler, and making ~250 rwkW (without any effort put into trying to turn it up past there just yet) and expect to be able to make some more, and frankly, I would be perfectly happy with 260-270rwKW. This is peak road Skyline usability territory. You go past there and, sure, the car will snap necks more when it's on boost, but it will also break shit all the time, cost a (even larger) fortune in tyres, etc etc. Anyway, I also do not like the over-the-fan pipe path, and you don't have to do it.

      I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc.

      Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.

      So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets
