Time to let my nicely modified 1989 R32 Gtst go after 5 years of ownership. I am 40 and need to move onto something more practical as a daily driver. It has190,000kms and lots of maintenance has been done to make this a very nice car to own and drive. It has been tracked twice and coped with a 37 degree day at Eastern Creek with no dramas. It is registered until February 2015 and has a full engineering report which is lodged with the RTA including photos and emission report print out. It covers everything except the Apexi Power FC and the carbon boot and bonnet (I have steel gtr spec bonnet and boot with N1 lip if needed) . I have been pulled at RBTs on numerous occasions and have never had an issue (once they check it is engineered on their system they dont bother).

It is a 1989 model without ABS making it the lightest turbo R32 you can buy at around 1310kg. The oil has been changed every 5000km or less and it uses virtually no oil between services. On top of routine maintenance the following maintenance items have been done in my ownership (with receipts).

Reconditioned starter motor

Head gasket etc..

New BMC

New Spitfire coils

New coil loom

New O2 sensor

New OEM radiator fan (most are cracked, check before buying)

Reconditioned radiator

New battery

New bushes various including rear subframe (removed and completely replaced)

New OEM door and window seals (big$$$$)

It has the following modifications:

Engine/Drivetrain

200rwkw with dyno sheet on safe tune

Apexi Power FC with controller

Spitfire coil packs

550cc injectors

HiFlow Walbro pump

GCG Steel Wheel BB Turbo

Large FMIC

Large aftermarket Radiator

3 Stage electronic boost controller (6, 12 and 16 psi)

Excedy HD clutch

Standard Airbox with improved piping and K&N filter

3inch exhaust with hi-flow CAT

Suspension/brakes/wheels

BC BR Coilovers with spanners

Whiteline swaybars f/r

Strut bars f/r including brake master stopper

R34 GTT 296mm 4 piston front brakes and twin piston rear

Staggered 17x8/9 et 30 Bronze Kosei Direzza RCS (forged?)

Currenty has 17x9 Direzzas on the front and white Greddy Gravity 17x9.5 et 30 on back

All six wheels come with the car.

Body/Interior

Gtr front end with N1 ducts and grill

Rolled guards f/r

Carbon bonnet

Carbon boot with N1 lip

(Steel gtr bonnet and boot with N1 lip available)

Nardi Steering wheel

Turbo timer

Voodoo gear knob

Genuine floormats perfect condition

Immaculate trim/seats no cracks or tears. One very small dash bubble in the usual spot.

Re gassed air con works beautifully

Bad points

Brakes are squealing. Work great with perfect bite but rotors need machining

Paint is very bright and clean looking but has a few blemishes when you look closely (no fade, rust, cracking or flaking)

Front bar has lots of stone chips

Tyres will need replacing soon

Oil pressure gauge is reads low when warm (probably just the sensor but it has been this way throughout my ownership with no problems)

I am selling so will meet the market after a few people have made offers. Please do not make an offer unless you are in a position to buy immediately. Test drives are OK provided I believe you are a genuine buyer. Please do not waste my time as I have a busy schedule. Viewing is in Annandale (Sydney innerwest)

Call Dan zero four 25 two seven 6 534

Look at my build thread for pics.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
