I'm considering selling my trust old R32 GTS-T after about 6 years of owning it, I have a decent job and am looking to trade up to something new, maybe an EVO, XR6T etc so am putting this up as bit of a maybe sale if I get an offer I am happy with, if not then I am still quite content owning it for another few years.

I only have one picture with the respray which is here, it has silver dishes rims now instead of the black ones:

Mods:
  • RB25DET Neo block with R33 intake and ancillaries from burnt out auto R34 skyline with 70,000 kms on it.
  • Car registered with 2.5L engine
  • R32 ECU with Nistune tuned by Pete L from Nistune themselves.
  • 550cc Nismo injectors
  • Z32 AFM
  • Apexi Pod with steel intake pipe
  • Original hybrid intercooler
  • Eboost street running 17psi with window switch controlling the VCT solenoid
  • Bilstein shocks and whiteline springs from a SydneyKid kit, about 15,000kms on them.
  • GTR Swaybar
  • New bushes all the way around the car
  • Immoboliser
  • Manual 5 speed rb20det box
  • Highflowed GCG turbo making 260rwkw
  • 3" straight through exhaust
  • R33 298mm slotted discs and callipers
  • HD clutch that showed no signs of wear when gearbox was swapped, very soft and easy to drive.
  • Silver dished rims 17x9 and 17x8 at the front with federal 595ss 235s and 225s on them with good tread
  • Nismo fuel pump
  • Deleted spoiler with holes filled in and painted over.
The good:
  • Suspension is stiffer/lower than stock but not by much meaning around town it is still very comfortable to drive and will not bottom out.
  • Car has been registered with the 2.5L engine swap and been through regency, have a "letter of exemption - modified vehicle" that sits in the glove box to show mr policeman.
  • Car has been through regency twice with all modifications except the boost controller and passed first go each time.
  • Engine is from a 100% stock auto R34 skyline that was burnt out, didn't even have an exhaust and only had 60,000kms on it, removed the motor and installed it myself with some help from friends.
  • With the VCT and small highflow the car drives like a v8, minimal turbo lag with 12psi by 2600rpm and 17psi by 3300rpm, holds boost all the way to 7600rpm redline making ~250-260kw depending on dyno, peak torque from 2.8k to 7k meaning a very large extremely streetable power band, will spin up 2nd in the dry rolling on the throttle unless you have brand new tyres on the rear, fantastic around town to drive.
  • Very safe tune done with knock ears, around 11:1 afr's in mid range, 11.5:1 in the top end, should go forever as there is not even a hint of detonation, tuned it on 19psi as well and only run it at 17psi for street as it only loses about 8kw in the top end, midrange feels identical

The bad:
  • Car has a respray everywhere other than bonnet and rear bar due to being keyed about a year ago and insurance footing the bill, bonnet is still in very good condition and paint matched well.
  • Rear guards were rolled and had rust in them so there is a small 1cm rust hole in the rear left guard, most of these cars this age have rust here except not visible.
  • Interior is old with the trim near drivers door cracked due to heat/age.
  • Rubber seals are cracked on both doors but do not leak.
  • Windscreen seal is loose making a weird creaking noise especially in cold weather and needs to be removed/refitted to fix it.
  • Carpet behind drivers seat has been cut due to a spill, only visible if you pull the drivers seat all the way forward.
  • Only has rb20 box however the last one lasted 6+ years of > 250kw before needing to be changed, imo rb20 box is fine for street driving and will take lots of abuse, drifting and regular track work however will require a rb25 box.
  • Some gutter rash on rims
Final say:
I've owned this car for a long time and nearly everything has been replaced on it at some stage, it is an old car but in my opinion looks very tidy for it's age with top end performance, the fact it passes regencey is a big plus due to everything appearing stock and the engine swap being approved. I have over $20k of receipts from the previous owner and another $5k of receipts from Jaustech for various services and replacements.
Price is high at $11k but that is as I really am not fussed if I do not sell the car and happy to continue driving it for a few more years, however if you are after a good example with awesome performance you will enjoy this car.
No test drives unless you can show me you have the money/pay a deposit, happy to answer messages/calls but only serious buyers, inspections once again only if you can show you are serious as I do not have much spare time.
Would consider swaps for BF XR6T with cash your way also.
Call/msg myself (roland) on 0423 277 771, I check my PMs fairly regularly also.

Personally I think your round the mark on a 10k+ price because of the work done.

I looked at Carsales and yeah yours is good value mate

And the car has been written off, rear ended at 50kph then pushed into oncoming traffic and had a head on.

Will possibly be purchasing the car back and stripping it for parts, will update this thread with a new link if it happens.

Getting $10.5k from insurance so I guess that is good news?

Wow this makes me feel really bad for not seeing this ad sooner, I was willing to come from Brisbane to pick the car up straight away. Might have been able to save the old girl to live a few more years.

At least insurance came through. Glad no one was injured (I hope not anyway)

The impact snapped my f**king seat in half! was a big hit, was lying down for the head on which saved me from hitting my head on the steering wheel.

Yeah, pretty happy with getting 10.5 for it, going to buy a BF XR6 Turbo for around $15k, looking for something modified with 300+ at the rears, looks like they make that power in their sleep with just a boost increase, also even though they weight 1700kg they handle as well as the old r32 with street suspension, obviously track spec the 32 will beat it but they are very nice around town.

Anyone know of any for sale?

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
