I have both my GT-Rs for sale.

#1 Is a lightly modded 1989 model, I imported it from Japan. Has rebuilt turbos (steel wheel ball bearing) from Croydon Autosport. Stock except for cat back exhaust and HK pods. I think it has a dual plate clutch, its always been pretty grabby to use. The water pump is leaking, have purchased a new one, stock rims, tyres are getting low. One flat tyre (from sitting in the garage). It had around 180kw ATW.

#2 is a Garage Saurus 1989 model. No idea what the turbos are. Garage Saurus ECU, Trust intercooler, SARD piping, Z32 AFM, bigger injectors, Full Whteline suspension, had 299kw ATW. Mid brace, front strut brace, HKS boost controller, finned diff, fibveglass bonnet, lots of things that are customised about this car. It unfortuantely met up with a cheesewire restraining barrier on Ginninderra/Coulter drive, which went up the bonnet and nearly cut me in half (at only 40km/h). Blundstone boots should not be worn when changing gears - sole came off and got caught under acc pedal. Anyway, it is rolling, two rims damaged, but is not repairable. Plan was to donor it into the first car, and sell the remainder.

Some spares, disks, suspension.

I also have, in the box, a brand new unused full power FC unit including hand controller and boost controller.

Unfortunately I have to go overseas urgently, and it is totally uneconomic to store them. $250 a month, in the rain.

Happy to answer any questions.

Would prefer to sell as one unit, Im happy to take offers. If i dont get a reasonable ofer thens its probably ebay.; not a lot of time.

May as well put a price on it.

I have NFI what they are worth at the moment.

With the transplant in place, the good car would probably go for $25k plus strip the other for parts.

But i dont have the time, so will take the best offer in the next 2 weeks.

Or Ebay it with no reserve

yeah, no way will you get 25k for a near stock 89 GTR

Yes, correct, I know that.

What would a Garage Saurus powered R32 go for?

Add in the extra gear stripped from the shell that is AOK for spares/sale. EG Seats, bonnet, guard, lights etc

Add in a Power FC plus bits (not needed necessarily)

Less the cost/time/effort to transplant the.

...

... somewhere above $14, Id say...

a few jap parts still doesnt make it anymore than a 22 year old GTR

Espesially when its pretty much an un0known.

You said yourself you dont know what turbos/clutch etc are in it, and its a standard motor that has been running 300rkws for god knows how many years.

Plus if you swap everything over the car is no longer matching #s etc

I don't mean to sound harsh but for anyone to buy it they would be expecting to do a complete engine rebuild etc

When you can pay 19k to get a 90s R32 GTR with a fresh engine and -7 turbos new clutch etc.

Like I said not trying to sound harsh or shit can your cars etc

But they are only worth what people are willing to pay and as John said there is no market, So if you want to get rid of them quick they will need to be very cheap

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
