PRICE - $13900

For sale is my 1989 R32 GTR. Car was imported personally by myself in 2004, since which time it has undergone a jade green metallic re-spray, recently had a full engine rebuild with TO4Z single turbo fitted, and had an extensive list of modifications fitted. Most of this work was done by its previous owner (who swapped the car with me back in 2006) prior to my swapping the car back again just last week..

I don’t need the car (have too many – and am running out of space - which may answer any questions about swapping), so I’m happy to let it go for a pretty cheap cash price.

But first;

The Good

· The engine was fully rebuilt by Phil Young Automotive only 5,000km ago, with the following;

o Balanced crank

o Balanced stock GTR rods

o Complete re-conditioned head, valves, guides (everything)

o Stock GTR cams

o CP Forged pistons

o ACL race series bearings

o All new gaskets

o Metal head gasket

o ARP Head studs

o N1 Oil pump fitted

o New water pump

· Brand new Garrett 700HP T04z Turbo fitted at the same time

· Brand new Exeedy clutch fitted (whilst engine was out)

· Apexi Power FC

· Nismo S/S exhaust system

· Custom Dumpipe

· ETM Highmount exhaust manifold

· Greddy twin afm Intake pipe

· HKS 82mm cooler piping kit

· Bosch 023 In-tank fuel pump

· Blitz 700cc Injectors

· Turbosmart 50mm External Wastegate

· Z32 air flow meters

· HKS Mushroom filters

· Speed flow oil/water lines

· and much much more....

Also

· LED tail lights installed

· AB Flug style carbonfibre bonnet

· ganador style aero mirrors

· Garage Saurus front lip

· New front racing seats

· Nizmo Strut brace

· HKS suspension

· Drilled Rear rotors

· Greddy turbo timer

· sports wheel

· again and much more...

· Just had 6mths rego put on it

· Custom plates BNR032

The Bad

· Some minor cosmetic pieces are missing (such as an interior dash vent) or broken (such as the rear reversing light)

· Car is now fitted with stock wheels – not the wheels shown in the photos – and has pretty crappy tyres fitted

The Ugly

· Minor chips in some of the paint work, minor cracks in bodykit – have been quoted $1350 to get it looking good as new from front to back. I can arrange this if requested by the buyer (at the price I have mentioned).

· Could do with a tune – idles a bit rich which I’ve been advised is due to not having plumb-back BOV’s fitted

Questions?

· I will consider trades but seriously – at the price I’m asking – you’d be wasting your time thinking your car is worth top $$$ when I’m not asking the same for mine. So if it’s a realistic offer – either cash my way or yours (I don’t mind) – then I’ll consider it. Preference is on a cash sale or a trade that offers me as much cash as is possible. No shi**ers or even cheaper imports though – something like a late 90’s Magna which I can use as a runabout will be OK. Also happy to put cash on top for a better / newer car, but would have to be a great deal, as I’m really not interested in forking out even more cash for a car that will just sit around.

· No test drives (even as a passenger) until a hefty deposit is put down. Happy for a mechanical inspection by a reputable mechanic to be done at my place.

Serious enquiries are welcome by PM on this forum (don’t reply – cos this post will be 3 pages back by the end of the day and I don’t intend to check it constantly.)

********I will supply photos and my mobile later this evening*********

· Could do with a tune – idles a bit rich which I’ve been advised is due to not having plumb-back BOV’s fitted

At idle the bov are not open at all so there is no way that they could cause a rich condition. Good luck with the sale though, I am looking forward to some pictures.

BUMP - first and only price drop to $12500. if I can't sell a car as good as this at a price this low, I'll simply tidy it up myself and keep it!

no offers or trades or swaps at this price - cash only.

Hey mate, I've sent 2 pms - please reply with your phone number so I can talk to you regarding the car.

Keen buyer, no bs.

I believe this is incorrect, I believe the stock BOVs open at idle but after market ones do not.. hence different idle.

looking to import one in the next few weeks, so if you can pm me your details I will contact you.

if you are looking to import one then I don't see what relevance my contact details will be.

do you mean looking to buy one? if so, and given your '1' posting status - perhaps you'll be kind enough to send me your details....

That's fine, don't need details anymore, sorry for the misunderstanding.

I was going to consider coming to Hobart (from Melbourne) to inspect, but as of today my agent found me a '32 GTR with most of what I asked for in my search criteria so I think this is the one.

However, good luck with the sale!

highly doubt it but hey - I'll take the free bump.

Guys - first of all, my apologies for the bump to this thread again. I appreciate that this is not entirely fair to others selling their cars, so I hope that what I am writing here is loud and clear, because I am a fan of putting 'relevant information' into a thread, so that I do not need to reply by PM all the time. As I have been getting lots of timewasters by PM, please note;

* It is not my concern if you live in Darwin, Afghanistan or the dark side of the moon. Just because you are faced with exorbitant freight costs is not my concern. If it is $2K to get to the top of Aus, you can add this to the cost of the car, not deduct it from the sale price. This should make perfect sense to all of you (except for those incapable of it).

* The price already reflects necessary repairs to the vehicle in consideration that it is less than 100%, and certainly not 'as new'. Again, if you want to fit a set of 19 x 12 BBS rims and flare the guards, this is (again) not my concern or my problem. If you want to re-spray it fencepost brown (nobody has suggested this, it's an example to protect the stupid), then ADD the $5K cost to the price.

* I will not accept trades or swaps at this price. Furthermore, please no offers of obscure items (boat, jetski, ...... I'll probably be offered a motorised wheelchair from someone's dead uncle next)

As I have probably already mentioned, if you are serious about getting a GTR, and you;

* want one with modifications as opposed to stock

* want one that will turn heads rather than be a 'sleeper'

* live in Tas or Vic (but not WA, Qld, etc)

then I'd be surprised if there is any better on offer. However, if you do live further away, or you want a stock one, etc etc - then this is not for you, and I'll ask you to think about these factors BEFORE you send me a PM.

Rant over!

Cheers,

jez

Hey Jez,

I would love to still trade for the supra, but im parting it out, If you can get this rwc ill pay extra obviously, only interested if it can be registered and comes with rwc.

Have money available after 27th March once my engine sells.

Let me know via sms on 0439 318 110 if you can get rwc or not as I can see it becoming a huge issue getting rwc based on how difficult it was for me to get rwc in Vic with my setup.

I just want a trouble free transfer and to be able to drive the car this time over.

Thanks,

James

    • 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. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. 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. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
