Hi Guys,

Since owning this beauty I have struggled to use it for what it was intended, a few track days and some fun. I havent been able to do so for a few reasons, tracking a car of this quality I thought was crazy, as well as have no time and lost some motivation for such a hobby.

This is an EOI as I LOVE the car and will only sell at the right price.The car has had a lot of rubbers, door trims etc replaced in the 2004 rebuild in Japan and feels like a new car, no squeeks or rattles at all:)

Having owned a few GTRs through the years this is without a doubt, by far the best build and performing GTR I have had, hence not too fussed if it sells!

Year: 1989

Body: 2 Door Coupe

Colour: Pearl Wine Red

Engine: 2.6L Twin Turbo, Twin Cam Inline 6 Cylinder (RB26DETT)

Transmission: 4WD MT

Odometer: 32,000kms (engine specific)

Price: $29,500 with RWC

Contact Details: 0401-004-999

Comments: Below is the modification list along with some history on the car, photos follow afterwards.

:: Engine ::

- Brand new R33 RB26DETT N1 Engine, only done around 32,000kms

- Brand new R34 N1 Twin Turbos, same mileage as new engine

- Greddy adjustable Cam Gears with clear cam gear cover (comes with original cover as well, see pic with extra parts)

- Sard 800cc Injectors

- HKS Drag Intercooler (600x300x100mm ? LxWxD, tube & fin design), 3? Inlet / Outlet

- Custom 3? Intercooler Piping

- Custom 3.5? mandrel Exhaust System from turbos to 4.5? rear muffler - amazingly subdued off boost but sounds great on full boost, very angry and tough. System is quiet easy on the ears as well with zero drone.

- Oil cooler with air guide and remote oil filter for easy replacement

- Oil Catch Can

- Twin Apexi Pod Filters

- Apexi Power FC ECU (tuned by Ben @ Racepace on 20psi = 320awkw )

:: Drive Train / Brakes ::

- Standard two piece drive shaft, LSD and 4WD system all very tight and strong ? never had any problems running current power for the last 3 years of ownership.

- Jim Berry ?Full Monty? single plate carbonetic clutch, 3600lbs pressure plate matched to an R31 Fly Wheel ? beautiful clutch, never had it slip on me once with current power level and operates almost like a standard clutch in terms of pedal heaviness and driveability in traffic.

- VSpec 2 Brembo front callipers with Lockheed rotors and pads, standard rear callipers and rotors / pads ? pulls up exceptionally well, feels like your eyeballs will pop out and its still got more in it before the ABS even kicks in!

- Teflon braided brake lines

:: Suspension / Bracing / Wheels ::

- Tein Coilovers, adjustable stiffness and dampening

- 11 structural bracing bars:

--- 2 Front & Rear Strut Braces

--- 1 Interior Cabin Brace (per image)

--- 4 Front & Rear Guard Braces (1 under each guard running lengthwise)

--- 1 Brace underneath near rear of engine / front of gearbox

--- 1 Mid trans tunnel Brace connecting either side of the tunnel

--- 2 Rear subframe Braces (1 each side)

- Volk Racing CE28N 17x9? Forged Monoblock lightweight Wheels (includes VR Duraluminium wheel nuts and VR valve caps) This combination of stiffness and grip makes for a very flat and stable cornering attitude with great response from the tyres under braking, cornering and acceleration.

:: Exterior / Interior ::

- Lightweight fibreglass bonnet

- Aerocatch Bonnet Pins (lockable)

- N1 Side Skirts & Vents in front bar

- Momo ?Race? Steering Wheel

- GTR carbon fibre Gear Knob

- Apexi EL2 Mechanical Boost Gauge

- Nismo 320kmph Speedometer

- Kenwood CD / MP3 head unit with what looks like standard speakers front & back - Fire extinguisher mounted to rear cabin brace

- Original Nissan GTR floor mats front & back with the original flare case in the front passengers foot well

- Original Nissan GTR front & rear seats in excellent, nearly as new condition - bolsters still all firm & solid, top of rear seats are not faded like nearly all other R32s are.

- All dash & trim in excellent condition with all accessories, gauges & lights fully functional - heater & aircon work as good as the day it rolled off the factory floor, only problem is there must be a dry solder inside the climate control unit that causes the display to turn off randomly, a light tap on the front brings it back. It doesn?t effect functionality of the climate control system itself or the manual button controls, it?s a common fault you?ll find in a lot of R32s, easily fixable if you have the time to pull it out and take to an autoelec.

:: History ::

The car was originally gunmetal grey before the owner of it then in Japan did a ground up rebuild of the car in 2004. It was resprayed a metallic factory colour ?wine red? but with lots of pearl and the engine bay was sprayed a stark white, maybe to show off the engine or to show up leaks and issues a lot easier?either way you always get asked the question when popping the bonnet ?did it use to be white??. The only place you can still see the original colour is the rear strut towers.

This chap worked at Nissan in Japan and so had access to many new parts for the GTR and is why you?ll find a lot of the seals and small plastic parts are like new as well as a lot of engine bay components.

Basically from there he dropped in the new motor and turbos with most of the listed supporting mods, the only mods added in Australia were the injectors, adjustable cam gears and the boost gauge.

A bloke well known in the NDSOC (Nissan Datsun Sports Owner Club) association imported it for himself in 2005 and owned it for a little over a year, taking it to a few show n? shines and concourse events.

:: General Info ::

- I have always kept it garaged and drive it as a daily driver with low KMs.

- Fastidiously maintained, never parked at shopping centres or with general cars as it has not one dent.

- Oil services have always been done every 5,000kms, quite often less and always with a new filter.

Please find the pictures below, I have really focused on what may seem obscure detail in some shots but it is to show the quality and condition the car has been kept in.

Cheers!

Jamie

Am Negotiable on price and happy to look into trades, but please, no more 2 door sports cars.

Lexus IS200's, 2000 Stock WRX or FPV's & HSV's will be looked at. Hopefully that will chop back the emails and Txt messages:)

After driving this car the past few days and getting Txt msgs with lowball offers around the $23-$25K mark, I have decided that the price of $29,500 is set, I will only neg slightly on price face to face with interested parties upon inspection. Please do not Txt me an offer, come to a look for yourself as pics do not do this car justice!!!

Thx

Just thought I would let you know that I will be away for 2 weeks as of tomorrow and can be reached via PM.

I have a few interested parties looking to view/test when I get back, so if you want this car be quick. Am looking at offers of $28K+ only at the moment.

Thanks

Bump.

Gettingback to Australia on Wednesday for interested parties to view. I have a older guy possibly getting a test done on Saturday, so if you want to come check this out, do so ASAP!

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
