Hi all, selling my R32GTR, its a 1992 model, imported by Synergy in August 2008, AFAIK I'm the 3rd Australian owner, 141 000kms. Its basically standard except for exhaust, air cleaners and chip, repainted Nov 2010, windows tinted June 2011, new Super Spark coils in Dec 2010, tyres 50% tread.

PLEASE NOTE, the car is registered and driveable, but needs a new engine. While it runs fine, it is filling the radiator with oil (no water in sump though), head has been checked and is supposedly ok, I have isolated the oil cooler and turbo water pipes, so either the head or block is cracked (or both). It has a steel head gasket which can be re-used.

Regretful sale, but after having it apart twice I have reached the end of my tether. Asking $14 000 or offers, no tyre kickers or time wasters please. Located in Adelaide Hills.

Car is faultless apart from the oil/water issue, it was the cleanest one I looked at when I was buying and the only one I saw with uncrushed chassis rails. I paid $18 500 just 18 months ago, for someone with an engine sitting in their shed its ideal, and like I said before open to offers, do need it sold, but not desperate yet.

Looks clean but like TM7GTR said, you may need to lower the price some more. The going rate of a RB26 these days isnt cheap.. your looking at around $4k for a unknown condition used engine, and the labour to put it in.. ouch.. and around $10k + labour for something that's been rebuilt.

Anyways, best of luck.

thanks for posting that Luke, where abouts are you out of curiousity?

if someone who knows how to DIY got your engine and put it in my car, they'd have a real goer

I will get some more pics up soon...no accidents I'm aware of, chassis rails undamaged too, so it doesn't appear to have been picked up with a fork lift like most of the others I looked at

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
