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

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
