Firstly, ill try and get some pictures up tomorrow.

Im going overseas in a couple of weeks so need to sell my car.

Car is a Wine red R32 with RB25 conversion. Motor has 80 000 km on the clock. Chassis has 150 000 from memory... ill have to confirm that.

The good

Recently the tensioner let go and my valves bent. When replacing them i decided to clean up the whole top end to had all manufacturing imperfections clean up on the head. Also has new head gasket and head surfaced, valves and stem seals, tensioner and idler pulley. Also new exhaust and inlet mani gasket..... so head is pretty much as good as new.

Anyway so car has RB25 conversion.

Still has RB20 g/box.

Mods

Buddy club N+ coilovers all round - Awesome suspension BTW, by far the best ive driven on in its price range.

Greddy type m front mount

3" exhaust turbo back

Exedy heavy duty organic clutch

Few things inside, trust gear knob, omori din gauges.

Bosch 040 fuel pump

unknown aftermarket rear camber arms

Rear spoiler off hole filled and resprayed

32 gtr rear wheels

Turbo smart plumback BOV

Paint work is great condition, comes up a treat, i really wish i had the time get it professionally cut and polished.

What i'd suggest doing

Some of these may well get done if i can find time before i go:

Left rear wheel bearing to be replaced... i have bearing unit sitting in my bedroom, just gotta get out the and change over.

Left rear camber to be adjusted more + or right more - as they are uneven and pulls to the left..... so basically needs a wheel alignment.

It is running rather rich on standard ECU and pops and farts a bit on de-acceleration and dumping a bit too much fuel when it comes on boost, so i'd at-least get a copgy back tune.

Has a dint about the size of a 5c coin on the boot lid, not very deep at all. also a chip about 2mm in diameter on rear quater panel also another small dint on roof. Other than that body is straight.

I have had the engineering check done for car and paid half of the fee ($250) there are a couple of small things required for the cert plus the remaining $250

So thats all i can think of at the moment. I've tried to explain everything i can think of.

Honestly, this car has been very well looked after. Its rarely driven and serviced regularly with mobil 1.

Id really love to spend a month or so getting it to where i want for sale but i simply dont have time.

Price is $8500 negotiable. Feel free to make offers, most likely, best reasonable offer within 2 weeks will get it.

Located in east burbs of Mlebourne

Hey all. Real sorry about the delay with pics. just been flat out and everytime i wash my car it bloody rains.

It is not registered with the 25. Just needs to have the engineering finalised. I have the report and receipt, all the needs to be done is finish off the few things that the engineer requires and pay $250. It also has 6 months reg.

Ill try go get some pics now.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
