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

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
