Hey guys,

Well the old girl has given up compression on no.6.

1989 model. Imported/complied in 1999. Gunmetal grey.

90,000km on the motor.

'94 model engine so has long drive crank.

Timing belt/tensioners/water pump (n1) and oil pump (n1) done as well

HKS oil cooler kit with filter relocation

Tomei sump baffle

Profec B spec 2 electronic boost controller

Nismo cluster (so can't be 100% on kms however in very good condition)

Nismo rear subframe (stiffer bushes)

Nismo billet flywheel and button clutch (balanced) Plenty of life left - only done 5000kms

Nismo shocks and springs (firm without being teeth chattering)

Newish genuine radiator

R33 GTR brembos all round with plenty of pad

Wedsport 17" lightweight wheels. (unsure of exact model but can chase up) -so light you can juggle them

Bee R front pipe

Full exhaust

Sounds the goods (less so now that she's low on comp)

Sure i've forgotten lots but it'll come to me.

Body quite good. Has had a respray since coming to Aus. Few scratches and what not but she's 24 years old!

Interior good. 1 tiny mark on dash (not a bubble)

Nismo gear knob

Momo wheel

GPS based alarm with satellite tracking

Sony head unit

Has had oil/filter/coolant/fuel filter etc in last 200kms.

Heaps of hoses replaced under the inlet manifold and also replaced water fittings and other little bits and pieces.

No leaks.

Has rego till November 2013.

Its a great car that just needs the motor freshening up and will be a joy for a new owner.

If the price is right i can include a a forged bottom end that is ready to be put together and lots of spares. (power fc, turbos etc)

Will get some pics up this weekend.

$16000 happy to negotiate with serious people. May seem a bit dearer than the rest but at least you know what your'e gettting.

Located: Castle Hill

Cheers

Luke

Yeh I realise that.

But if you buy a 32 gtr in any condition with a std engine you really have to budget in a rebuild.

Best to know before you buy I reckon.

Like I said happy to negotiate and listen to any offers.

Its not a rusty bucket with a basketcase of problems like all the other ones selling for really cheap.

You make a good point with the shell being rust free, but regardless it's a blown engine worth nothing which you can keep. And you won't find anyone paying 16k for a rolling shell and as much as your negotiable, I'd be guessing a thousand bux if that is all you'll negotiate. I know you just want to try make most the money you paid back but there was an immac rolling shell r33 GTR registrable sell for like 5k which was just missing running gear. I'm just being realistic with you.

I can do it as a rolling shell for a lot less if someone wants it that way.

It would be a but of a shame to see it stripped and tracked though.

Anyway, see what happens. If not it will go in storage till I can get some time to work on it

I had a car that did that. I pulled the head popped the sump pushed out number 6 piston, and re

Ringed and honed it. Since then the car is running perfect compression for years. Have to set the right tolerances but !

Will do $15k as is including power fc and hand controller.

Still trying to work out a price without motor.

Can also do cheaper without wheels.

I'm talking with a couple people about the shell.

I will have to wait and see if they want the loom in it.

As soon as I know something i'll let you know.

Cheers

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
