Hey all,

As much as it kills me, deep inside to do this...I'm putting my beloved R32 up for sale.

The car is an '89 Model, Gunmetal Grey and has 145xxx on the clock. Paintwork is good for the age, showing some imperfections here and there but only to the fussy eye! The body is complete with the N1 side skirts and N1 air vents.

Engine was built ~5 years ago by Gavin Wood on the Gold Coast. Basic rundown is;

  • CP Pistons
  • Eagle Rods
  • Tomei cams
  • Springs/Retainers
  • Complete with a HKS turbo kit (2860 -5s, to our understanding...).
  • Full custom tucked 3.5" exhaust and high flow cat made by Fabulous Fabrications (beautiful work) along with custom Hot/Cold cooler pipe.
  • Intercooler (Definitely japanese, though unsure of brand...)
  • I've also just swapped out the Apexi FC with a Haltec Platinum, tuned by NextUp in Brisbane. Car made 385hp ATW on a 18psi. (Have Dyno sheet.)
  • Car was also just serviced by NextUp.

Since purchasing the car, i've completed an array of handling mods. These include:

  • Your choice of BC BR coilovers, or Bilstein/Eibach spring & strut combo (<My preference)
  • Cusco Swaybars
  • Cusco 1.5w rear diff, fully rebuilt and new diff bushing installed with newer (and slightly larger/stronger) R33 half shafts
  • Ikeya Formula front and rear upper control arms.
  • HICAS delete.

I've most likely forgot something...but off the top of my head, that's the impressive stuff.

You've got the option of stock R32 GTR wheels OR Super rare, and ever so sexy Desmond Regamasters in 17x10 +20 all around with brand new 255/40/17 Federal RSRs...these will of course attract a higher price tag.

I've put a lot of money into this recently, and a lot of time getting it right. I'm in the earthmoving industry and am expanding my business, so, i had to make the EXTREMELY difficult decision to sell to fund upgrades. Also selling my Airbagged VW Caddy van, if anyones interested (lol).

Car is located in Brisbane, please come and have a look and drive. It will come with 6 months rego and RWC.

Price is $19,990 ono with stock R32 GTR wheels, or $20,990 with Regamasters.

Please Call or SMS Drew on zero four 27 900 446 if you're interested.

I will arrange further photos tomorrow.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
