Hey guys, the time has come for me to part ways with my R32, so it's up for sale !

I originally bought it about 6 years ago (just after it was imported) from Beer Baron here on SAU, I dug up the original for sale thread when it had about 160,000km on it here - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/161469-beer-barons-1990-r32-gtst-type-m-manual. It's been an awesome car to drive all this time and has never let me down, it's farken reliable.

About a year and a half after I bought it the rb20 was feeling a bit to slow so I did a rb25 conversion on it. This along with the mods & remapped ECU it's now an extremely torquey / responsive car, comes onto boost basically straight away and it's great fun to drive. Dyno'd a while back @ 195 rwkw @ 12 psi, plenty of power in a light little r32


Specs:

1990 R32 Skyline Gts-t, type M
5-speed manual gearbox
Rb25det engine conversion (standard turbo & internals)
Approx 210,000km on the clock (the rb25 engine had approx 130,000km on it when installed, would have about 165,000km now)

Remapped Z32 ECU, done by Toshi
Exedy heavy duty clutch
R32 GTR fuel pump
100mm ARC side-mount intercooler

3" turbo intake pipe & Apexi pod filter
Turbotech manual boost controller @ 11psi
3" turbo back exhaust incl Catco highflow cat
KYB shocks & lowered king springs at the front, and damper adjustable Trust shocks & springs at the rear
17" Blitz racing wheels (lightweight) + near new tyres all around. Fronts are 235/40, rears 255/40
Slotted front rotors & QFM brake pads all round
Personal steering wheel
Autometer boost gauge installed in right dash vent
Nismo gear knob
R33 Skyline floor mats
Pioneer CD player, aux input etc etc, JBL rear speakers

Radiator top end tank was replaced + radiator cleaned/flushed about 3 months ago

Boot has been wired for amps + subs so it's all ready to go (i'm moving old sub gear to my new car)

Engine bay was kept very standard looking so cop hassles are kept to a minimum

Has an Autowatch 3 point immobiliser installed

5% tint all round by Hunters Hill window tinting, looks great
There's a few small scratches on the body, nothing serious !

The bad:

Unfortunately the paint on the roof has started to fade, and a year or 2 ago some rust started building around the edge of the sunroof, I didn't take care of it so it's still there. Theres also a spot on each side of the rear wheel arches. See photos !

The gearbox (still using the rb20 box) has also developed a pretty common input shaft bearing (or thrust bearing?) noise/rattle - stops straight away when the clutch is pressed in. It's been like this for maybe 2 years, i've gotten used to it and ya can't really hear it over music + engine/exhaust noises. Not sure if new box oil could help to improve this?

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
