Does Anyone Know The History Of This Car? (Link Inside, R32Gtr)


Recommended Posts

I understand this is also for sale on these forums and the owner regularly posts too.

Hopefully someone can give me some history on the car though, I understand it's been selling since June @ $23,000. Now for $15,000.
Help would be greatly appreciated. You can PM me too.

Thanks a million.

$3280..... "PAID CASH"
Yep, he's from Lalor alright...

I'd be a bit wary of that big a price drop... But then again probably just realised that there's no way that someone is going to pay $23,000 for a stockish R32

Hahah I noticed that too.

Well when I did some digggin' I found that the car isn't stock really at all.

Look at this advertisment from June:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Skyline-GTR-32-Twin-Turbo-5sp-Manual-RB26-/161044162558?_uhb=1&pt=AU_Cars&hash=item257efae7fe&nma=true&si=CRy%252BUltF96%252FbNlUNkLIOo5HabTI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

300KWATW.

I wouldn't trust anyone that puts a transformers sticker on their GT-R....

there is nothing wrong with what he has done, parts are often worth more off the car, or maybe he wanted to keep bits and pieces for his future R34......go and have a look and judge it in person, might be ok

at least his second ad isn't full of lies such as 'never been boosted' etc, if you go and have a look dont let on that you know about the old ad, ask him some questions and see if he is honest...that will tell you alot.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
