hey guys, just moved to Sydney from Townsville, still in a motel actually. lol

Anyway, when the car removal guys took the 32 off the truck at the Townsville depot, they ripped one of the freshly painted sideskirts off, so now we are waiting for that to be fixed and sent down.

@DR 32R - Rear quarters came out fine man, rubbed them right down and reprimered and painted.

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 8 months later...

If anyone is interested in buying this 32, throw me an offer as its just sitting in my garage gathering dust, just needs camber arms, coilovers and hicas lock bar to be installed (hicas kit will be included in sale)

there is slight cracks in the paint in some parts of the joins of the rear guards.

all offers welcome.

can be sold with or without wheels

no reg or rwc

ok if nobody wants to buy, can everyone just put in your 2 bob to what you think it is worth.

after you spend so much money on a project, its hard to put a figure to it when selling.

so lost interest or had enough of trying to build a car?

to be honest take what you have put into it and write that off. you will get what you paid for it pretty much. everyone sees these cars as old drift hacks now.

in my case I do not intend to sell mine. I am at $20k in bits and still going. would I get that back IF I sold it in pristine new condition. nup.

Yeah i have written off what i put into it. ($15k)

Just trying to find out what people would pay for it.

and yeah, I dont have enough time to finish it because of my work and i've moved into a smaller house so no room for a trailer.

I'm currently in Afghanistan so nothing is happening with it at all.

thought work may have something to do with it.

I keep mine elsewhere and when I have funds and money I work on it.

My daughter has an interest in it as well as it is her first car and she knows it.

advertise it for what you paid. chalk it up as lesson learned.

Well... 10 years later its a completely different world but I'm going to look at a 180sx today.
Hopefully I do better than the R32 and finish this one.

I ended up selling the R32 for $3,500 in 2013. Ouch.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
