Unfortunately for me it has come time to sell my R32 GTR.

The car has a Genuine Veilside wide body kit (imported from Japan at a cost of $6780) fitted to it currently unpainted so it is in Black Gel coat ready for paint or to be moulded in depending on what look you are going for.

It has a large Carbon fiber rear wing and a genuine JUN front carbon lip. I also have a JUN rear diffuser to go with the car if it goes for the right price.

Currently the car has a set of 18x10 Lenzo D1R wheels wrapped in pirelli P-Zero Tyres 265/35/18 all round.

Custom made LED Rear taillights, they are one off items

Has HID fog lights and comes with HID kit for the headlights, which have been converted to H4, Hi and Low Beam in one instead of being separate.

Battery Relocated to Boot with 0 Guage wiring throughout, cut off switch mounted on box.

Suspension Modifications:

Full DGR coil-over suspension to custom specifications, upper pillow ball mount, 30 way adjustable

This setup creates 6-10x's more spark than standard packs and eliminates the need for an igniter there is also less stress on the coil-packs as there is air circulation under and around the packs cooling them. Each pack also has a heat sink to allow it to run more efficiently and reduces the chance of failure.

I have all receipts for most of the work done to the car, and receipts for most of the parts, some were purchased off forum members from here. Car has rego until september this year.

The Bad Point: In March while driving the collars in the oil pump failed causing a sever drop in oil pressure. This has caused the engine to spin a big-end bearing. Car still starts and drives but it will need to be trailered to avoid damaging the engine further. I no longer have the time to fix the car which is the only reason I am selling

If you have any questions give me a call on 0434817247 or PM me here and I would be more than happy to answer any of them. Also if you would like to come down and see the car let me know and we can organise a time for it.

The car is in Wollongong about 1 hr south of Sydney.

I am taking some pictures today and going to put some up but if you would like pics of specific things let me knwo and send me an email and ill get them to you.

The car has a had a lot of time and money spent on it, looking for $13,000 ono.

Edited by Matnos

Have tried to upload some pics and it says they are too big, if people want to send me their email address i can send you some photos.

Also forgot to mention that the car has a R32 GTR V-spec Alloy bonnet, and evidently adjustable cam gears and gates racing timing belt, just incase people were thinking I was silly having big cams and no gears :-P

Yeah thats correct, i had the choice weather I wanted to ge the other front and rear bars but didn't want to go that way, still wanted a sort of semi stock look still, just fat...

Im surprised that the front bar stretches that far to line up with the guards. Does provide a nice stock / fat look though.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
