Hello,

I've decided it's time to sell my 1989 R32 GTS4t. I imported it myself back around late 2004, have been the only owner since. It has been sitting around for most of the time I have had it, as 12 months after I imported it I got a motorcycle and that was pretty much the end of the car's use. It had been deregistered for a number of years, until recently I had it registered for only six months while my motorcycle had been stolen and recently recovered, now it is' deregistered again.

It's quite a 'normal' car, it had been my daily driver so ride height and exhaust loudness is all normal. At the end of it's use before I got the motorcycle, it had gone over the Pits and passed. I hadn't modified it since.

the good,

- turbo back exhaust (downpipe and cat was bought new off this forum long time ago)

- exceedy heavy duty clutch (put in at ABS slacks creek, again a 'deal' from a fella on this forum that worked there..)

- GTR front suspension, have the rears to go in also

- interior is complete, even with skyline floor mats. although, time has taken its toll on it here and there

- sun roof - mechanicals work though needs a helping push to get it moved. switch could do with a clean i think too.

- generic ebay brand FMIC

- comes with RCA and power wiring for subs in the boot (parcel shelf speakers in the pics have been taken out also). has my kenwood headunit in it still.

- greedy boost gauge

- some turbo time. all hooked up expect the bit that keeps the car running. has voltmeter, set minutes and an auto count depending how long you're revving it high

- comes bits of body kit, m-type side skirts, some rear pods, gtr front bar (though damaged and bad paint), and gtr rear spoiler to go with it

- Nizmo five spoke 16" mags, not perfect but I'm sure someone could make them look nicer.

- I do have an RB25 turbo that can go with the car.

the bad,

- paint is fading and peeling in places.

- has random scratches and paint blemishes here and there

- it's got some hail damage, its not real noticeable but there are dents here and there if you look at the right angles.

- rust coming through in rear wheel arches and sun roof area.

- no sun visors inside, they broke off and never got replaced

- grey bonnet - i tapped someone at a set of lights, i took off when the arrow went green but my light was still red, smashed my front bar and bet the original black bonnet. no other damage resulted.

- speedo is not working anymore. It was up until my last stint with it. I know this makes the kilometers seem a bit dodgy, but come on, it's an import, who knows how many km's it's really done anyhow.

- proof of a service history is sketchy, I've got a folder of random papers from when I originally imported it, but I did all the oil, fluids and sparkplug changes myself. Receipts have since gone here and there as I've moved houses over the last few years.

- reverse lights switch on gearbox has died. Had it replaced when the h/d clutch went in, but it died again. I've since hooked it upto a rocker switch that sits just near the gearstick boot.

- I think one of the coil's is slowly dying. Car runs fine, but when boosted at higher rev's is starts to miss fire. I just drive casually so it's never caused me hassle.

the really bad,

there is rust coming through the passenger foot well. when I last got this registered the inspector said he was on the fence about passing it but as I was keeping it and my situation of having my bike stolen and my pleading, he let me have it. This would need to be replaced in order to have it pass a safety cert again. Whether this is simply welding in a new plate or what, I don't know. I'm sure someone else would.

Anyhow, any questions can be emailed, PM'ed, responded to here, and I'll get back to you. Alternatively, a phone call on the number below will be quickest. Could probably do a search for my posts on this forum and find more info on it's life, I've been posting here since before I bought it.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
