1989 R32 Skyline GTR

Number Plate ‘RB26GTR’

360rwkw @ 20psi on E85

Price $27,999

Location: SA

I have owned this car for almost 5 years, bought it virtually stock with an exhaust on it. I have either upgraded almost everything in that time. The only part that still remains since the day I bought it is the front pipe, and even that has been modified. Lots of money and love has gone into this car over the years, I have a folder full of receipts for it. I have only listed the performance mods below; it has also been maintained to a high level. The time has come now to sell the car and buy something a little more family friendly.

If you are looking for a well maintained R32 GTR that you can confidently take to a track day and have fun and drive home in it afterwards then this is probably the car for you. My main goal for the past few years was to build a car that was capable of sustaining a day of driving on the weekend and still be reliable enough to drive to work on Monday. I have only done 3 track days in it, and it has performed great. It is still 2.6L which is why I have the number plate.

The car is also fully capable of running E85 as the fuel system has been upgraded and tuned to suit.

The car drives well, and is a day in day out 350+rwkw car. For those that have ridden in this car can attest that it really is a great fast car. So for a 350+rwkw car on E85 that is reliable the price is $27,999.

This is a fair asking price given the work that has been done to it and money spent on maintenance all up totalling over $35k

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
