Congrats on the purchase! Seems the flipping has occurred twice now with Shannons cars (if you count the one on carsales now from the trio that were sold).

Also your car was originally listed at 85k as OZGTR when first sold so you are still ahead :)

Guys got a question about  the adm plate under the hood, could it be wrong as there is something up with my engine number.

Block number matches the vehicle warranty and owner  identification copy. But on the aussie vin plate the engine number has a 3 instead of a 9. Rest of the numbers match

Ok, please be a bit more specific......

My Nissan Tag, block and my engine number in the owner's manual are all the same per attached photos.

What does yours say?

My engine number matches the owner identification copy but not the vin plate. Only one number different

Hi All

I am going to sell #56 as it is not used anymore. Very good condition, just a few stone chips. 140k's. Every thing works, even the cassette deck. Thought you guys might like first go. I'm thinking $120k but if someone waved cash at me (as in $100 notes) I would consider a 10% discount.

Regards

John

Hi John,

I was only thinking of you the other day.... This poor old forum is like a ghost town now.

Everybody is now on the R32 GT-R Facebook page.

I'm a bit saddened to see you will be putting her up for sale but certainly understand where you are coming from.

Mine's been unregistered for over 5 years and been in storage since last year. Out of sight, out of mind.

Anyway, good luck with the sale but I suspect your best bet will be Carsales.

Cheers....... Bob.

Hi Bob

Good to hear from you. I think your right about facebook but at 75 years I'm not really into that. No hurry for a sale but would like it to be appreciated by someone. Not getting completely out, still got the r30 which goes far too fast for my reflexes.

Cheers  

John

Hi Greg

Afraid it may disappoint. It has a couple of 6 cyl motors, two and three liter, several gearboxes, 911 brakes, Toyota steering, bits of R33 front end. Only used for sport so no trim etc. Good fun though.

I'm jealous of your 1600. Was trying to buy one when the 30 came along as a wreck.

Sorry John, don't get on here much! I'm not fussy about what is under the skin, in fact i love modifying. As long as the mods are executed well and improve the car then I say go for it. My biggest issue with my R32 is that I can't modify it! I think the people who have owned and put their mark on a car through it's life are as much a part of the cars story as the people who put it together at the factory. Most don't agree though looking at values of original, documented vehicles vs the modified versions. 

 I bought my 1600 back in 1990 as a body and parts from an engine builder who worked at HRT and then went on to work in F1 with the Arrows team. He had started to prep the car for the track but found HRT took up prety much all of his time. Not sure where he ended up. I rebuilt it back then - it's now about 30%1600 - the rest is 240K, DR30, 180B, 260Z, Hilux, R31 - even Pulsar! Mostly brand faithful, but most of the 1600 bits are gone..

I'm now giving her a refresh, fixing up the awful job I did back in the early 90's! 

But hang on this is all about ADM R32's. Did you sell your Silver car? Market was looking pretty good last time I paid attention.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
