This is my car and yes she’s up for sale. See below for the specs and relevant info but I think you’ll find that this is one of the most complete 32 GTR’s for sale at the moment. Yes it is an 89 model BUT look below what has gone into the build of this car before you mention the usual “I can get a 32 GTR for $XX,xxx”. If you are at all familiar with these cars you know it is very much a case of you get what you pay for…

All mechanical work was done by Hyper Drive in Malaga both before and after I took possession of the car. The usual love and attention of 5,000km service intervals has been religiously followed for the ~20,000km I have had the car with only Mobil 1 being and BP Ultimate 98 being put in the car. All fluids have been done in the last 12 months including a full brake bleed and coolant power flush.

The car is currently in a pretty lazy state of tune with 360rwhp (shootout mode @ 18psi) and I’ve had it at the drags for the grand total of 4 passes before the previous clutch started to slip (now has twin plate) for a 12.5 @ 110mph. The car has never seen a track or motorsport event other than this occasion. I am not a hoon and nor do I feel the need to prove myself or the car at every set of traffic lights.

Motor and gearbox rebuilds occurred in 2005 as did the re-spray and all of the new Nissan items. The rear diff was done in September 2007 and ABS unit in December 2007.

Essentially the whole car has been stripped and rebuilt to as new/better than new specifications and everything you see listed below has been done since 2005.

The odometer currently reads 107xxx kms. Over 50% of the kilometres I’ve done in the car were done between Feb and September last year when I used the car as a daily to and from work for a period of time while I didn’t have a work vehicle (When I purchased the car I had a work vehicle and now have another so she’s back in the garage most days). Since November 2005 the only issue I’ve had was a seal letting go in the rear diff necessitating a rebuild and last year the ABS unit developed a leak (new ABS unit installed). This package is rock solid. Even the fuel consumption is pretty good as I’ll routinely get 440+km to a tank.

The reason for the sale is that I am looking at getting a more ‘normal’ primary vehicle and also getting a motorcycle. I guess I’m getting old J, plus mortgage repayments are a b#tch!!! If it helps sweeten the deal I have a number of original parts still lying around that came off the car when the new stuff went on a workshop manual etc.

The list goes on and on and I’m sure I’ve missed a few things. This is my second 32 GTR and it took me 9 months to find one that was up to my standards. I’m very fussy with my cars and I can honestly say that I’ve never shied away from spending the required money to get quality parts and tuning. The car has permits for the airfilters, intercooler and the Nismo strut bar it used to have window tint but it was too dark so I had it removed. The car also has an autowatch immobiliser with central locking. Car regoed till March 09.

I was told the by the previous owners that they had poured approximately $50,000 into this car and basically the whole car was stripped and rebuilt. I purchased it in November 2005 and I have since spent another $20,000+ ($12,500 of that in parts alone, I can show you the receipts for everything I have done). I’m happy to field any genuine queries about the car and meet prospective buyers to show it off but only those that have put a deposit down will get to drive her.

I’m more than happy to send the car to the Eastern states if there is interest from over there. My last car actually went to Melbourne so it’s no drama for me to do this again. I’ll even take the cost of your airfare off the negotiated sale price if you buy the vehicle.

Asking price is $32,000

I am not interested in swaps unless you have a 2002 + Honda VTR250 with low kms, full service history and no crash history AND/OR a Nissan X-trail of around the same age.

Thanks for reading this ridiculously long post. Have a look at the pics below, I can put up more on request.

Cheers,

Ryan.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
