Im going back overseas in a few weeks so need to sell my car.

So i had this car for sale about 9 months ago but it didn't sell before i left overseas. Im now back for a short period and need to sell it. I had it for sale for $8500 last time and had 3 offers. 2 of $8000 and 1 of $7750.

Its now been sitting in the garage for 9 months being started every 1 - 2 weeks to keep her fresh. So based on this i am fairly firm on this price of $6750 so please no low balling.

Car is a Wine red R32 with RB25 conversion. Motor has 80 000 km on the clock. Chassis has 150 000 from memory... ill have to confirm that. Also has 12 months rego on it.

The good

Recently the tensioner let go and my valves bent. When replacing them i decided to clean up the whole top end to had all manufacturing imperfections clean up on the head. Also has new head gasket and head surfaced, valves and stem seals, tensioner and idler pulley. Also new exhaust and inlet mani gasket..... so head is pretty much as good as new.

Anyway so car has RB25 conversion.

Still has RB20 g/box.

Mods

Buddy club N+ coilovers all round - Awesome suspension BTW, by far the best ive driven on in its price range.

Greddy type m front mount

3" exhaust turbo back

Exedy heavy duty organic clutch

Few things inside, trust gear knob, omori din gauges.

Bosch 040 fuel pump

unknown aftermarket rear camber arms

Rear spoiler off hole filled and resprayed

32 gtr rear wheels

Turbo smart plumback BOV

What i'd suggest doing

Some of these may well get done if i can find time before i go:

Left rear wheel bearing to be replaced... i have bearing unit sitting in my bedroom, just gotta get out the and change over.

Left rear camber to be adjusted more + or right more - as they are uneven and pulls to the left..... so basically needs a wheel alignment.

It is running rather rich on standard ECU and pops and farts a bit on de-acceleration and dumping a bit too much fuel when it comes on boost, so i'd at-least get a piggy back tune.

Has a dint about the size of a 5c coin on the boot lid, not very deep at all. also a chip about 2mm in diameter on rear quater panel also another small dint on roof. Other than that body is straight.

*** Please note *** I have had the engineering check done for the car and paid half of the fee ($250) there are a couple of small things required for the cert plus the remaining $250. I would allow $1000 to have the car engineered. If you can do mechanical work yourself then maybe a little less. That also includes the cost of the certificate.

So thats all i can think of at the moment. I've tried to explain everything i can think of.

Honestly, this car has been very well looked after. Its rarely driven and serviced regularly with mobil 1.

Id really love to spend a month or so getting it to where i want for sale but i simply dont have time.

Price is $6750.

Located in east burbs of Melbourne

When i can get these photos to upload i will... not working atm for some reason.

The biggest pain for eng cert is it needs side intrusion bars for the doors. I'm looking around for some now. I was just gonna put some on, get the cert, swap them back then re-sell the doors.

Anyway so side intrusion bars, side indicators, tyre placard, baby restraint, noise level test.

For RWC it will be fine. Ride height is actually legal. The exhaust tucks up nice, looks a lower than it is.

I guess wheel bearing would need to be done.

so the car has never been complianced in Australia then as it should have had side intrusions put in and baby restraint fitted to get into the country under either RAWS, SEVS or 15 year rule.

I thought that may have been the next question. Sorry should have cleared that up in previous post.

The previous owner used this as a track car. He changed the doors to ones without side intrusion for weight reduction. Also had interior stripped etc...

So i bought it with RB20 and replaced all the interior and bits he had taken off.... besides the doors. At that stage i wasn't thinking of doing the conversion, nor did i realise it was necessary for engineering.

As for the child restraints....i dont know...maybe he thought it looked a bit silly and took it off... i probably would have done the same :down:

Also, yes it is running standard R33 ECU.

If anyone needs re-assurance i can take a photo of the cpmpliance plates on the car and post them up.

**Update** Just serviced her today. New oil and filter, tran fluid, spark plugs, checked timing and compression.

Compression results were 158 158 161 156 160 158, that was with throttle closed, so i was very pleased with these results.

With the timing belt, tensioner, idler pulley, head gasket, exhaust and inlet gasket, valves and seals all replaced she sure is nice and fresh.

Running beautifully!

Also put a new battery and reco'd alternator in as the batt light was starting to come on intermittently and battery draining. All fixed now.

Tyre placard is now done and i bought the side indicators, ill try fond time to wire them up tomorrow.

Thanks mate.

I thought the price was cheap as well. I had heaps more interest 9 months ago when the I was asking $1250 more.

Possibly the price is leading people to believe the car is in bad condition or something wrong with it. I can assure everyone this is not the case and i just need to sell her!

does look very clean..

JiN_MaN: think regency would believe you if you swapped the doors with black 32doors that have intrusion bars? and say you bought it like that ect

What makes you think it doesn't already have them?

*vitz_n1* Hope you dont mind, at least we are keeping your thread at the top

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
