Hey guys, not sure if this should be in this thread of the whole car forum but im parting ways with my 1989 r32 gts-t with s2 rb25det. The rb25det conversion was done approx 2 years ago, and was a full conversion inc gearbox.

I have owned the car for the past 6 years after importing it myself and having graduated uni im about to move for work so its time to part ways. Car would be perfect for either an enthusiast willing to put some work into it or alternatively as a running wreck. The car is still registered until June and running so you are welcome to come out and see the engine/gearbox in running condition. The primary reason for selling as a wreck rather than registered is that im rather busy at the moment so I do not have the time/energy to get the car a road worthy however im comfortable if the buyer wishes to do this themselves while the car is still registered to save hassle.

Notable specs of the car are:

185,500 k's (64,000 on the series 2 rb25det)

rb25 gearbox and running gear (when the conversion was done, all mounts was custom fabricated so this would suit either an r32 with the mounts provided or an r33 with your own mounts)

Recently replaced high flow radiator (purchased from one of the SAU group buys)

Recently replaced bosch fuel pump

Apexi turbo timer

HKS boost gauge

Momo steering wheel

17" rims

Things that require work is the body. There is a dint about the size of a 50c peice in the rear near the tail lights, along with a dint in the drivers side door where a trolley has hit the car. The car could generally use a paint job also and a few of the seals are starting to wear/peal due to age. There is also a dint in the passenger side front quarter however replacement guards will be provided so that shouldnt be an issue.

There is honestly alot of other extra's (skirts, stainless dump pipe, high flow exhaust eg), i'm currently in a flood effected area of South East Qld (although the car is safe!) and as soon as the flood water resides I will go out and photograph everything.

Asking $7,000 as an unregistered rolling wreck but as I said im happy to help the buyer out if they wish to get a roadworthy to keep the car registered. As I also mentioned im not thrilled on separating items of the car at this stage but if a few different guys are interested in taking different parts (i.e someone wants shell, another engine and gearbox) im happy enough to do that.

Hey guys, FINALLY have some pictures up. I've highlighted the notable damage to the body being the front left guard and the rear right corner. I have a set of fibreglass vented front guards that I paid $450 for about a year ago that I am happy to include in the sale to be used to replace the front guards.

Any other questions either pm or for a faster reply text on 0409 055 258

    • No. GKTech arms have spherical bearings in them. No bushes. You will not need bushes for those arms. The sphericals are a bit of a maintenance nightmare. I have replaced all of mine several times in the 5 or so years I've had them, and I have the arms out regularly to clean and lube the balls. Worth the pain on an R32, because the standard arm design is trash. If you need the camber adjustment, there are other options (than the GKTech ones), although I would still lean towards and prefer the GKTech ones, even with the maintenance load of the sphericals. The caster adjustment is also highly valuable, allowing for setting the car up to drive straight. There are a million options for these, including the GKTech ones. I've had Tein rods on mine for 20 years and the balls are much less trouble in that location. Never given me a moment's pain. All positives, no negatives. I consider them compulsory.
    • Lol yeah I ordered the clips mentioned and as far as the amayama diagrams go i think thats all I'll need. Fogured id ask, sometimes people's first hand experience doesnt always match up to diagrams haha, i guess I'll wing it and worse comes to worse I'll just deal with it as I go
    • Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol
    • I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.  
    • hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00
