Hey Aaron, I thought I had passed all the stuff on. I was sure you'd keep it all :) Glad to see you on the forum.

If there is anything I can do for you mate, please don't hesitate to ask. So sorry to hear you were involved in a crash through no fault of your own. I know you treated that car very well and i'm sure the engine has plenty of life in it yet. You have the receipts so you know what that engine cost so I hope you get a good price for it. It was a great set-up for a street car. The car itself was probably the nicest R32 I've owned and i've owned about a dozen. I'd say it's as nice or nicer than the one I've got now which I plan to keep for a long time.

As to gtr_23qu's question on power the engine builder was told it needed to handle 600hp but honestly a decent stock motor will handle that. The base N1 Nur engine is supposedly rated to 600hp anyway but this one was blueprinted and has a 1.2mm tomei head gasket fitted. I would be comfortable pushing it to 400kw atw+ for a street car. It has a few key bits that will enable it to handle some decent boost and power.

lol, well I know what it cost and it's not cheap. N1 block, N1 oil and water pumps, ported head, N1 pistons, tomei head gasket, tomei timing belt, all blue-printed and all other bits are brad new down to ever last nut/bolt/seal whatever. a lot more than what is replaced in the average rebuild. hope you get good money for it Aaron. :)

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
