NO LONGER FOR SALE... sorry i am going to keep her :ninja:

This really is an interesting car and I am happy to give you its full history.

It is by no means a show car. It is a full on performance car and would be very dangerous in the wrong hands. It really is a handful to drive if pushed but is fine in traffic and had been daily driven by me since buying and modifying it. It returns 400+ km’s to a tank and is comfortable to drive.

I built the car myself to suit my needs at the time. It we designed to be used as a daily that I could take out to the track or to the skidpan on the weekends.

It looks nice without getting attention from the wrong people. It is not overly loud but as it has a 2-way diff expect clunk in carparks…

I am not going to make any power claims as I do not have current dyno proof. It was dynoed when the motor was built but I have since lowered the boost and changed the tune as it was very difficult to get traction in 1st 2nd and 3rd. the car is currently running 16psi. I would estimate it is making around the 240~250rwkw mark. And somewhere in the vicinity of 400nm of torque.

I am in 2 minds about selling the car but have decided as much as I love it, its time for me to set aside my love for fast cars for now.

ENGINE - RB30DET

I built this engine using an RB25DE head with less than 60,000 k’s and an RB30E bottom that has been rebuilt. All new gaskets and seals were used and VCT is disabled. The engine runs perfectly makes ridiculous power and torque.

Misc engine additions:

Sliding performance hiflow

Splitfire coilpacks

Splitfire panel filter

Iridium plugs

Turbotech Boost controller

Blitz FMIC

Braided stainless lines for turbo and VCT

GTR fuel pump

3 stainless turboback exhaust – batmbl split dump, metalcat, Blitz 3” catback

Suspension/Handling

Interior

Stereo

I am not in a hurry to sell it and have set a price of $14,000

I am not interested in haggling and am not hard up for cash. I built it for a lot more than this and anyone that wound be genuinely interested would know what is involved in putting together a machine like this.

I will put up photos in the next day or so :blink:

Image018.jpg

this is probably the worst photo in history :P but it gives you an itea of what the car looks like. she got stuck in my front yard after some really heavy rain :(

Picture015.jpg

here is a slightly better one. the intercooler is now black and the front lip has been removed :)

When you take photos take pics of the interior incl. back seats and the engine bay.

Any cosmetic/mechanical problems large or small?

Also what suburb are you from?

Edited by UNTS-1

Will do, I will be waiting till it is not 41deg outside ;)

mechanically the car is in excellent condition.

it has just had about $370 wouth of fluids changed :(

motul turbolight put in the motor

redline lightweight shockproof in the gearbox

castrol syntrax in the diff

new coolant

new PBR brake fluid

new power steering fluid

there are a couple of things i am looking into fixing at the moment.

I have just ordered a new speedo cable, there is an oil leak that will have to be fixed. thats it. both should be done in the next week or so.

asthetically the interior is in good condition excelp for a bubble in the dash like 90% of R32's have. body wise it is a 13 year old car and has a few marks and scratches here and there but on the whole is is a really nice tidy looking car.

I will take a lot of photos.

Thanks for all the PM's.

I regret to say the car is no longer for sale. I can't bare to part with her. sorry to the interested parties

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
