Hi all,

I have had some extremely bad luck and am now looking at my options and would like expressions of interest / offers.

My R32 GTR which has had thousands of dollars spent on it has developed a crack in the engine block :(

The car was running perfect up until recently where I had the head pulled off to check for a suspected head gasket issue to find that the engine block has a split in it :( The motor was pulled apart by Racepace.

There a four options I'm looking at:

1 - Sell the car as is. The engine has been removed and stripped down. I have sourced a new engine block to do a full swap over of all engine parts. I have been quoted $4300 to rebuild the motor as it was. This option would suit someone who is extremely picky wants a dead clean car with a freshly rebuilt motor or has a driveline available from a smashed car?

2 - Sell the car as a stock GTR. Strip the car of all its mods (sell all aftermarket mods i.e. turbos, wheels, brakes etc). Sell the car with stock rb26dett or as a complete car less motor.

3 - Strip the whole car down. Fully Strip car i.e. parts/panels etc.

4 - Keep the car and let it sit there until I have funds to fix.

Before the issue I was chasing $33,000. As said im looking for offers I would rather sell the car as a whole to someone who will get it back on the road as it truly is an amazing car. Still currently registered, basically all it needs is the motor back in it.

If you are interested please contact me immediately as I would like to make a decision with this ASAP.

Its a great looking car and very nice mods, very unfortunate to hear about the engine woes mate.

Hopefully something comes out of it for you whichever path you go down

Sympathy Bump

Thats fair enough If i dont get a decent offer I will just strip it or let it sit there.

As I said its perfect for someone who wants a clean GTR with all supporting mods and a FRESH motor. OR Someone who has a motor available but no car.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
