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

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
