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

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
