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.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
