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.

photos asap, i will consider buying it.. pretty keen

Photos will be Saturday morning at the latest. I'll try to get them done after work one day this week if I have enough daylight, which is quite likely.

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.

if you want to sell just parts bro let me know, got a cuz thats intersted in cluster, have you still got the centre consolethat goes around the 3 gauges all the way down to around the gearshifter, let me know and let me know how much,

cheers tony

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.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.

    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • 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.
