Hey guys,

this is an eoi on my R32 gtr. I bought it to fix then keep. Always wanted one and wanted it to be perfectly clean and spectacular.

The interior looks as if it's never been touched, only mod is a kenwood headunit. The rest is stock and perfect. Has a factory optioned 320km nismo cluster.

Car has a genuine 51,000km on it, was imported in 07. Car is dead clean. not a mark on it. only exterior mod are some blitz wheels with brand new 255/40 federals on them.

The car was in storage for a long time before I got my hands on it, and the motor hadn't been turned over for some time, consequently it is now broken and in bits. Everything is included to put motor back together, needs to be oversized and new pistons. rods/crank/bearings etc are all ok.

I am chasing $12,000 ono. Realisticly, spend $1500-$2000 to get the motor fixed up and back together. And you've got yourself a superbly clean R32 GTR for next to nothing realisticly.

I don't want to sell it, but could use the money for other stuff and don't really have the time to finish this car with all the drifting/fixing the drift car that I seem to be doing these days!

here is the only pic I have of it atm, it's dusty as in the pic, had been sitting for about 1.5 months.

also, the car has rego till november. full complied obviously. Can also deliver to sunny coast/brisbane/gold coast as I have a car trailer.

the engine had pod filters. that is all.

it is a 93 model I think? I can check it tomorrow when the sunlight comes back, it has it on the approval plate.

And I can take some more pics tomorrow, but only iphone pics. :)

here are a few more pics, pics are epicly dodgey, and car is really really dirty. getting washed this weekend :blink:

and seems it's 58,000km not 51,000. my mistake!

AFAIK this one was not for sale before I bought it, I bought it via word of mouth, and it was never on the sunshine coast.

Motor is in bits, block is still in car, sump is off, as is head and inlet side. Do not ask me why the previous owner decided to pull it down this way, guess he thought it was fixable leaving the block in the car? Either way, motor is pulled down, and all inspections are more than welcome.

I might also add, the photos show the car in it's current condition, the car has been sitting in a carport under a car cover for 8 months. I haven't washed it or prettied it up for any of these photos. It really is alot cleaner than it looks in these photos. :whistling:

emmalah - no swaps. I have enough cars/projects/dailys/trailers etc. :thumbsup:

mike - depends on how you go about it, set of forged pistons can be had for ~$800 with rings, bore the block and buy a headgasket and piece her back together, it can be done that cheap. Set of bearings is $200, so might as well do them whilst you're at it. Sub 2k, you can have a rebuilt motor with forged pistons in a dead clean GTR r32.

The rego expires on 29/11/2010 :wacko: So still a few months left on this bad boy :no: Number plates are off in the photos as they are fresh issued, and I didn't see the point in attaching them to a car that doesn't run, so they've been sitting in my toolbox. :D

Couple of keen people have been pming/calling. :) freight is not as issue. I have a car trailer and can take the car to a depot to have it shipped, But keep in mind that you will also need to factor in the cost of a small pallet freight for the head/inlet plenum etc that is no longer attached to the engine, I will not put these items in the car, it will make the interior dirty and I just couldn't do it. Small pallet freight will only be about $60-$90 anyway. :)

Also, for $17k I can have this car running with a spare Rb26dett out of an R33 gtr that I have. Has recently been overhauled, new rings/bearings, stock internals, good condition motor, 160psi across all 6. As I work in an import workshop and play with these things all day, the install will be to an OEM standard and everything will be done right. That's another option if you are interested in a running car, I would need a hefty deposit (at least 10%) to do this, as unless I'm guaranteed a sale, there is no point in me putting in the hard yards!

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
