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

  • 2 weeks later...

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

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
