Hey guys I have a r32 sedan MAYBE up for grabs. Now just to make a few things clear i LOVE this car to bits, I have spent 1000's on it and will not let it go cheap if no one pays or offers another car of value to me plus cash i will not seperate . My reasons for sale are

1. I want to buy a house and the only way to get the money together would be to seperate with the 32

2. I travel at least 60k to work 7 days a week and some days 120k

3. As i travel alot its not ideal (easy to speed and be a numpty in, bit bumpy as its low, defectable)

4. MONEY its a skyline while i get 400ks to a tank its always bp ultimate ran through it which adds up quite quick with all the travel

If i havent scared you off yet lets get into the good stuff.

ENGINE / RUNNING GEAR-

-S1 RB25 Conversion done before i bought it. Believed to have 130000k. Runs beautifully and has buckets of power

-Turbosmart manual boost controller, Running 11PSI of boost

-Previous owner said it was tuned to 211kw, I have no dyno sheets for proof BUT can see it does pull very hard

-Serviced every 5000k with quality nulon oils and additives , expect the gearbox and diff which runs with redline shockproof (only serviced twice in my ownership)

-Diff has just been reshimmed very tight and never singles, Only skips when pulling out of the driveway when cold

-STD turbo

-Cold air box with a pod inside

-Clutch went pop around 5000k ago replaced with extreme HD, POS rb20 box went a week later

- 80000k RB25 box conversion was put in by me. Speedo conversion done,Solid shifter bush, new slave, custom tailshaft, custom crossmember, done about 4500k

-Very large FMIC

-3'' stainless blitz exhaust sounds very tough but not over the top, also have a 4" jasma exhaust to

I feel like there is a few things im missing but a start

BRAKES / SUSPENSION / BODY

-I recently just did the brake system on the sky which included. R33 GTR slotted and cross drilled rotors up front, Slotted back, EBC Redstuff pads on all corners, new fluid and bled. The most responsive brakes i have used, they are brilliant 2 weeks old

-Shortened shocks and springs which sits very low but not ridiculous, all shocks in good nic

-20 percent window tint all round looks moist

-Paint is very fresh and is a custom respray in Mazda 3 red paint code 27a, Brilliant red which glitters in the sun

-All four guards have been rolled and flared HEAPS had 9.5 all round at one point

-Sparco ns11 wheels on atm 8.0" on front 9" at back which doesnt do the flared guards justice but suit the car well

- Tein Adjustable camber arms front and rear

-stock kit (my favourite personally)

INTERIOR AND STEREO

Interior lets this car down a bit, missing vents, slight bubble in dash suppose it is an 89 model

-Sport wheel

-33 seat (lumber support)

-Kenwood headunit with aux

-2 2000w earthquake amps one monoblock one 4 channel

-2 kenwood 1200w subs

- alpine type s splits all round with tweeters up front

Radical sound system

$12000.

Please dont tell me if you think this is overpriced, I dont car what you think as i dont want to let it go unless i get what i want I AM IN NO HURRY and as stated its a EOI. Every time i go out and see this car i smile, I just love the 4dr look and it would be an incredible shame to see it go but i would like to buy espcially while the home owner grant is around still. SA REGO BTW

Okie dokie, some mods i forgot

So the HD clutch crapped out, Just put a Jim berry full monty clutch in rated for 350kw. Stock pedal feel with a button feeling to it if that makes sense.

-bosch 044 fuel pump

-hicas lock bar

-R33 front LCA's

-Tein Castor rods

-nolathane control arm bushes

-Rack spacers

-Cradle bushes + pineapples + cradle mods

-40mm spacers in the back now

-gtr bonnet

-Dildo shifter

Now i understand 12 is a bit steep so price drop down to 10500. My phone doesnt take a great pic but here are some snaps

Cheers buddy! Got to stop spending money on it !

Just got new

-tie rod ends

-steering rack mount bushes ( made an incredible difference)

-two front tyres fitted

-wheel aligned at the front

also found a 4" jasma exhaust in the shed as well !

Someone make an offer e.g minus sound system 10g.post-87113-0-48318300-1360827020_thumb.jpgpost-87113-0-76641800-1360827035_thumb.jpgpost-87113-0-44696500-1360827047_thumb.jpgpost-87113-0-20169700-1360827060_thumb.jpgpost-87113-0-10531100-1360827070_thumb.jpgpost-87113-0-12086800-1360827007_thumb.jpg

    • You're already well into "gearbox is a consumable" territory there. A billet plate will either make it (effectively) 1% stronbger or make it last one more pass. At some point you'll probably tear 3rd gear into small chunks and regret all the life decisions that came before it.
    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
