1992 Nissan Skyline R32 GTSt

Gun Metal Grey

98,000 km

Rego until August 2005

I have owned this car for 1.5 years and am selling purely to cover some debt.

This car has a HKS 2835R and all the support equipment that goes with it including upgraded pistons.

It has not been tuned for max power cause was waiting for a power fc, but was dynoed immediately after landing at RacePace to get the air/fuel ratios right.

It is in excellent condition for its age with only a few scuffs that have been covered by a detailer. The front bar has been cracked and repaired professionally.

$20,000 ono

I can be contacted on: 0407 344 555 for further details

If you want to email: [email protected] however I do not use it very often

I also have a second hand AP Engineering Power FC with hand controller

This has been advertised separately in the Parts For Sale section.

$1800 Firm

just found some info on the HKS 2835R:

in the US the turbo alone sells for $2580 which is almost $3500 here

http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=711

according to the site this turbo can flow 420ps.

here a short thread from SDU:

http://forums.skylinesdownunder.co.nz/arch...pic/4492-1.html

these are some pics from when it was in japan.

since these pics i have removed the wing, put on 18inch rims and the tacho was stolen.

there are some specs (not all) cause you guys give no lovin without them.

edit: front bar is trust not bomex

yeah thats cool. i realise that not everyone wants to spend that much on a 32. but the difference is that your comparing an 89 model car that you cant even see then have to wait months before you can import to a car that is in the country and has been driven locally for a year.

the price is based on:

a cheap and nasty 32 goes for low teens;

a really good one goes for high teens;

so a car with the extras that this has goes for 20 or above.

thanks for the input.

ps. if there is anyone out there that has a 32 and is thinking about doing some modifying. and i know that there are plenty of people that have already done it. then why not step straight into this car rather than frig around and spend more money than you have to. everyone knows its cheaper to buy a car thats already finished.

thanks for the comments roy.

i thought i would advertise in here (and other forums) before paying for ads in mags or papers. the reason is that is if someone was going to respect this car for what it is, then its most likely to come from here.

that said though, the next step is going to be the mags and papers.

This car has had a very easy life in Australia due to not being driven to uni. Has only done less than 4,000kms in the year I have owned it. It only gets "opened" up very rarely because the external gate is offensive to say the least. Also has only done one, yes one, burnout cause 18inch rubber is expensive. Also engine/turbo is not running full capacity so is not stressed.

ok, with the lack of interest thus far im forced to list all the extras. here we go:

aybee i think this car is well worth the amount ur asking and i wouldnt go any lower.

put up a website and put an add somewhere in carpoint or the trading post or something, like Roy said i dont think u will get what its worth on here.

even try other forums like honda, wrx etc etc

Hi Aybee, Your cars just like mine, only 4000kms a year is pretty much what I've done this past year! :worship:

You said it was dynoed at racepace but not for power, can i ask how much it made in the state it was in?

Anyway, good luck with the sale :cheers:

thanks inark, i dont want to go too low but its only worth what people will pay for it.

at racepace it dynoed 180rwkw at 1bar. but they were unable to tune the VPC so that was just from playing with fuel mixtures.

car is now in the trading post. already had a call and the guy offered my 18000 as is, and he will work out the RWC.

so if anyone has any offers above that without RWC then very keen to here them.

Yeah seriously no offence but you can get an R32 GTR for less than what you're asking, and you can only sell for what people are willing to pay. At the end of the day its always going to be a 2.0 single turbo and no matter how much you mod it most people with that money to spend will opt for a stock GTR over a highly-modded GTST. I know I would. I wouldn't pay more than $14k for an R32 GTST no matter how much it had been modded, that's just me I'd go for an R33 instead over that but if you've got a solid offer for $18k then I suggest take it, seeing as no response for almost a month now.

2bad - why would you bother making a post like that? Every sentence you have written is irrelevant to the sale of this car. What does it matter what you or most people would do? It only takes one person to buy it.

2bad, thats cool thats your own opinion. if you want to know mine: i dont think that i would buy a gtr, even if i had heaps of cash. theres nothing wrong with loosing traction. also i wouldnt buy a 33 cause i dont like the look as much. and any gtrs out there for 22k probably wouldnt even be worth looking at. after all you get what you pay for. and this car is for someone who loves 32s. like inark, who has put a bit of cash and love into his car, he realises the value of this car and agrees with the price.

thumpr, thanks for that. your so right.... now all i need is that one person.

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
