Photos now up..... Looks stunning. I saw it at the GT-R Festival this year.

I've heard they are negotiable for a quick sale.....

By the looks of it the car sat in the sun for quite some time judging by the faded side indicators and faded triple gauge needles on the centre console...lovely car though :)

Correct, last service was 20 years ago when it had 48,000 kms.

Just needs a good front to back overhaul.

According to someone on Facebook the cars had a respray and thats why he didn't pay 70-75k 2-3 months ago for it. Don't remember it being listed anywhere?

also typical facebook analysts stating that the numbers don't line up perfectly on the gauge

Yes this car has had paint, apart from the boot which is original paint.  Still a nice car.

20 yrs ago wow...has the engine been started in that period? If not, the engine will more than likely require a rebuild. Rings will be dry, valve stem seals dry and deteriorated etc.

This would throw me off as a buyer 100%

If the car has full service history the kms wouldn't be an issue. However, the car hasn't been serviced for 20yrs so it's hard to track or document.

The only way is to look at the car in the flesh...it is nice :)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
