History:

Vehicle was an automatic RB20DET vehicle in 2002 belonging to a chap in the northern suburbs. He decided to do a motor conversion and bought an R34 front cut with 60,000km on it. Put the motor, box, ECU into the 32 then stripped the car for painting. His missus then proceeded to have a baby, so the car sat in his shed till 2008 when I bought it off him. I have been working on it in my shed until two weeks ago when it was finally finished.....only my wife has just had a baby too! Hence why I'm putting it up for sale. I've tried to cart the bub around in it but it's pretty cramped with baby + wife + me, it's not really working.

Vehicle is fully engineered with the motor conversion, has had all the necessary emissions, noise and brake tests and passed them all. It's just been through Regency for a full vehicle inspection (required by Dept. Transport for the engine conversion not because of a defect issued) and it passed Regency except for some bushes needing replacement and the rear steering tie rods have a bit of play in them. It is booked into Ashley at Classic Performance at Hackham next week to get all issues sorted, then a follow up Regency visit. This car has nothing on it that is defectable, every modification has been checked at Regency and approved. Please note, the vehicle will not be actually sold until it has it's final inspection.

The car runs stock boost. I have put about 1500 km on it in the last two weeks since finishing it and I would anticipate another few hundred km before selling. It will be available for sale as soon as Ashley finishes putting the bushes in and it's been through Regency again.

All parts on the car that have brands listed are genuine brands, not copies.

Km on the car are 108,000, but it has the typical misaligned odometer digits which suggests that at some point the mileage has been wound back. I feel confident that the km on the motor/gearbox are legitimate, as it is a 2000 motor and was bought in 2002, 60,000km in two years is quite reasonable.

Please note, test pilots/joyriders will not be tolerated. If you are not a serious buyer don't bother ringing me. If you mistreat the car whilst test driving it you will be reported to the police. Sorry, but that's the way it goes.

Pictures:

See below (please note, the last picture I think I overexposed or something, as the colour's a bit washed out)

If you want any more pictures please just ask!! I am on the computer every couple of days, so can get more pictures up usually within two or three days.

Contact details:

Mob. 0434 924 001

or PM me on here

Price:

$16,000......this does not even remotely cover what I've spent on it in cash and time, but is a fair price for the vehicle.

I may consider a part trade for a cheaper, more family orientated car plus cash my way, but would prefer a straight sale.

Good luck with the sale mate,be sad to see it go!

Have witnessed this car being built from scratch and the hours of effort gone into it,one of the nicest 32s iv seen, :)

Ok so here's my honest opinion with ur car sam!

I think you should keep it and here's my reasons

•it's probably one of the nicest looking 32s in your area,very unique with the kit and your own custom spray job

•even better you have fresh 34 motor and box in it with genuine kms on it and u know it's legit,and since uv done the work with it u know it's history,(simply u have a fresh engine that has boy been thrashed and is reliable)

•I have witnessed your countless hours of work on this car and seen the silent swearing going on inside ur head,but through all this uv produced a very nice car,and because u have done all the work yourself you know it's reliable and you also know it's not just a cheap respray..,if you put the hours of work you have done into a dollar figure is hate to l ow how much ud be loosing and just giving to someone else who probably won't appreciate at it near as much as you

•also from owning 2 32s a s15 and a 34 myself,I can tell you right now if you sell it you are going to want to buy another..sorry but once ya owned one ur always going to want another,as uv witnessed me do..and when you do buy another in a year or twos time ul look back and ask yourself why u gave this away!

•this car has soo much potential!!uv got the basis for so much more with this car,.don't stop now!!it's regency approved,and as you found out u can get almost anything engineered and it's not expensive!why not get this punching out some nice figures over the next few months/years,(I'm about to start on my 34,may aswell do it together,!!

•I could keep going with reasons,but!!!!after picking you up from dropping it off for tuning this morning,and seeing how much u enjoyed it,and the excitement u have to get it back and have it at it's current full potential I think ul agree parting with this is going to be very hard!mate it's a sick car and has a lot of potential still,and even when someone does come to u with the cash,think about the hours uv spent mate!!

Keep it!!!!!!

:P That's a whole heap of good reasons to keep it! Between that and the earful you gave me yesterday about keeping it.......and having my wife, dad, brother, sister, dog, cat etc tell me not to sell it I think I'll take your advice!!

Vehicle is removed from sale folks.

  • 2 weeks later...

I've just had a Nistune ECU and an in-tank Walbro fuel pump put in this and got it tuned up, it's making 193rwkw on 9psi with the most perfect AFR line I've ever seen! Thanks Ashley (Classic Performance, Hackham).

Driven it around for a couple of weeks and it's absolutely mad fun!

BUT........I do need to sell it. I just can't keep it, it just doesn't work with the kid! I need to get a ute for work to free up the family car for my wife, or get another family car for myself.

So the vehicle is relisted for sale

There is NOTHING to spend on this car, it is quick, straight, clean and registered with this motor. All the parts that Regency required to be replaced have been done with brand new parts.

So......buy me! (or at least the car anyway)

I don't have any good pics of the interior or motor but I'll get some this weekend and post them up as soon as I can.

It's just a standard interior, but with a triple gauge cluster where the heater controls used to be. The heater controls have been shifted down to the bottom and the head unit is in the middle. I've taken the cloth inserts off the doors and the back vinyl covers and there is a bit of glue still on there. I was going to put new inserts in but have not done so yet and probably won't before it's sold. The steering wheel is not too bad for a 32 wheel, some of the vinyl is a bit patch but it's pretty good overall.

Oh actually the sound system, I forgot to put those details!

ICE:

Kenwood USB compatible, bluetooth compatible CD player.

Pioneer 6" splits in the front with custom fibreglass tweeter mounts behind the mirror panel, painted the same colour as the car.

Sony 6" speakers in the back.

4 gauge power cable and earth run to the boot, with an anderson plug at the end of it.

I have an amplifier and slimline subwoofer to go in, the speakers are all wired up so they can be plugged either into the amplifier or just run off the head unit. Kinda hard to explain on the net, but it's so I can take the sub/amp out if I want the boot space or the weight gone but still have sound from the speakers.

Here are the interior and engine bay pictures as promised :)

One of the dash lights, one of the centre console, couple of the interior, the custom tweeter mounts and the engine bay (which I noticed needs cleaning badly).

The engine cover has been painted with a combination of silver plus the same grey as the car, as has the strut brace.

I've made the photo's quite small for the sake of a reasonable upload and thread viewing time, but if anyone wants higher resolution pictures please PM me your email address and I'll get them to you.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for the offer, I looked at the link and the car looks really nice, however it's probably not any more family friendly than the 32 I already have so I'll pass on it :)

Good luck with finding another 32.

Sparky

After driving the car around as a daily for the last two weeks I have become aware of two things which I need to mention.

1. The speedometer is optimistic, it reads 10% higher than actual speed. I believe this is due to the R34 gearbox/R32 speedometer combination.

2. With a heavy rain some water comes in around the passenger door seal at the top.

Bump and thank you for reading :blush:

  • 2 weeks later...

Couple of important things.

1. Vehicle had it's second inspection at Regency and is now completely passed. The bushes that needed replacing were done and every issue is sorted to Regency satisfaction. The car now has a 'mod plate' inside the door frame to prove the car is registered with the new motor. Additionally the registration papers also have the new motor details on them now.

2. I identified where the water leak was coming from and have fixed it.

Bump!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
