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.

cheers tony and gl wid da sale

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
