Whaaaaat??? Why???

I sorta understand and GLWS for sure my friend.

It is a hard thing to do, both listing and actually finding buyer. :/

Thanks guys. I think I'm just about at the point in my life where I want to move out more than I want a fast car. I'll definitely be back in the future though ;)

I'll still be checking in here regularly and hang around, have made some good friends.

Hoping it holds off until this Christmas cruise Jez was talking about, so better get crackin' Jez! :P

Mine might be even harder to sell them yours Rob because of the mods.. We'll see :(

I have owned this R32 since Dec 6, 2006. When I bought it, all it had an HKS
exhaust, HKS pod filter and unknown brand intercooler.
Since purchase, after two different turbo setups, I have spent about $40k on it, all
parts genuine.
I would really like to keep it, but with 1 new baby and plans for another in the
future, I would like to get something a bit more standard and easier to store down my
driveway.
The engine conversion was engineered. car recently tuned by ESP to 280KW at rears.
The car still needs some work. The paint is very rough; the Final Konnexion Body
Kit is second hand and not yet fitted. Due to the car sitting for a 3 year period during
turbo/ intake manifold change. The engine has been found to have pretty poor
compression (showed up after tuning).
Car still runs and drives fine apart from compression issue ($1000-1500 for
Replacement engine)

The pics are just ones that I had on my computer, can take new ones if people want

Yep, I know.

just to clarify, I really don't mind if I just end up keeping it, I know the range im looking at is high, I don't have unrealistic expectations that everyone will jump in with a high offer.

Its just an EOI, and that is the range at which I would consider selling. before more people jump in and tell me I'm dreaming haha

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
