This looks interesting.

I've emailed the seller to get more info, but sounds the goods. I like that he says its restored, rather than modified... all in the wording!

Are any of you familiar with this car by any chance?

Seems to be a pretty good thing, but when he says "everything" has been replaced 2000k ago... That's tens of thousands of dollars, excluding motor and gearbox, as the bloke on here who really has restored one will attest

Yes, true. He says he has all receipts though, so I'll wait to hear from him.

if its what he says then go for it. good price......but it does say always kept under cover, and its outside in the rain for the Photos...

i doubt it has been restored to the extent that the one here on the forums has been (that is just nuts and i cant find the link off the top of my head).

But either way, for 22 grand with that list and those Km's and it runs well with reciepts (if he has em) you cant really go wrong :)

Haha, yeah I thought it was a bit ironic that its sitting out in the rain, I'm assuming he just put it out there to take photos, and it's in QLD so hard to avoid rain lately

basically that's what people say when they car is kept in a garage at night. it doesn't mean that it has never been out in the rain, etc. if you were to take "it's always kept under cover" literally then it must mean that whenever it is driven he has some sort of cover over the top of it, or only drives it in an under ground carpark.....

so it's always kept under cover, except for when it isn't.

The colour of the seats is not to everyone's taste. However, no-one ever goes to that much trouble unless he/she's an enthusiast

However, he/she doesn't say that the restoration was actually done by him/her. The English simply says "...my restored..."

It's worth looking at - and your enquiry might pay off; but I'd check on how long he/she's had it and when you look at the work receipts, ask for permission to check all details.

Seems strange that it would have one when its got N1 turbos aswell. Pretty overkill for that kinda power level

vcam is worth like 25% of what he is asking for the whole car

pull the other one terry ;)

we all know that tacky leather seats are just as common on fully sick bro cars that get THRASHED as they are on enthusiast cars

if you go look at it take a screwdriver with you and check the inside of the sillsbehind the carpet. if it has had the full resto then those should not have any rust in them.

seats do not belong to that car. the label on the side is an airbag label so the are out of somethe later.

I would ask for every receipt available. I can tell you now that if it was done right he will produce a BIG pile of receipts totally at least $20k.

also take a fridge magnet so you can look for bog.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
