Hi all,

I'm considering selling my 240Z circuit car and the potential buyer wants to give his R32 GTR as a part trade.

Here is the link to where he has it for sale at the moment.

http://www.boostcrui...howtopic=662563

I'm just wondering what you guys think I could sell it for here in Tassie? Keeping in mind I would want to move it on fairly quickly.

How is the market for GTR's down here at the moment? Are they selling quickly or sitting around?

Anyway, any input would be appreciated

Cheers,

Shane

I doubt the car would sell quickly unless it went for 10k or so. Oherwise they would have been able to sell it now and give you the money.

I love GTR's and own an r32 but in reality they are just getting very cheap even for great cared for cars. But the one you are looking at is an early 89 and to be honoest you could better than the car your looking at (unless it is under 12K). You spend another 5-8K and you could start looking at some real impressive gtr's.

I'm not trying to bag the car your looking at bt thats my opinion.

Anyway a 240z is still highly desireable. Is yours race car only or does it have rego and can be street driven? From your avitar looks quite nice. Put some pics up. What sort of money you chasing out of curiosity?

Thats not a $21k GT-R.

I'd run a mile looking at the cack handed paint touchups in the engine bay. Not to mention every bit of trim which would show the BS 90k claim up has been replaced...

Looks like a tarty $10k car. Is it 1989?

Thanks for the input guys. I didn't realise the market for GTR's had dropped out so badly! I have no intention of keeping his car, if I get it, it will be up for sale straight away.

Sounds like it might be best if I just try to get him to sell his car and pay cash for mine then.

It is on SI rego and I had it engineered with the L28 turbo engine and roll cage. I've upgraded the brakes and put bigger wheels on since it was engineered though.

I'm chasing a bit over $30K for it. If he won't pay that then I'm happy to let it sit in the shed and keep collecting dust unitl I can afford to use it again.

It's done 59.2 around Baskerville, 1:00.1 around Symmons and 1:48.9 around Phillip Island. 2nd in Targa B for the 2007 state series, 1st for Targa B in 2008 & 2nd for Targa A in 2009.

it is probably worth 21k to someone...

but if i was to spend 21k on a R32 GTR it would want to have all the supporting mods to push 350-400kw

have a look on carsales to see what mods a 20k GTR goes for...

apart from the body work, which personally i think its worse than a stock gun metal GTR, it hasn't got much done..

would need a lot of rockets under those covers to be worth his asking price IMO....

your car on the otherhand....worth every cent

Thanks guys, I thought his car might be worth around $16K so I'm very glad I got your input. I was way off the mark!

I told him what cash I'd require on top of his car based on what you guys have said and I think I offended him so the 240Z can keep collecting dust for now ;)

the value of mint late model 32 GTR can still fetch 25k easily

i wouldnt go near a clapped out 89 model for 20k especially if it had been sprayed in some hektik colour and even if it had supporting mods for 300kw.

I paid little over $20k for an 89 a year ago... it was either an 89 or 94 - the first or the last of the R32 GTR, didn't want the inbetweeners and preferred the first.

if I didn't have my car and I'm looking for an R32 GTR now I'd still be willing to pay between $20k-$25k for a clean standard or well modified one(no bling paintjob wheels etc)... wouldn't look at spending any less!

    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
