R32 GTR Japanese Import. With Australian compliance plate. Previously registered in Canberra
Huge Trust intercooler,

Z32AFM, Rays Engineering wheels, two are f*ed but the tyres are good (scuffed from track day at Wakefield)
Whiteline suspension.
Upgraded custom front disks and calipers. Spare disks and coilovers (n
Fibreglass bonnet is scuffed but not cracked.

Front bar was off the car and is intact/undaamged
Upgraded turbos - dont know what they are, but there's a Garage Saurus ECU that came with the car, HKS boost controller.
SARD Hard piping. Upgraded radiator,
Tower struts, Body brace.
Lots of goodies. .
IS REPAIRABLE, NOT A WRITE OFF. But you would need new front right guard, Door, glass, and roof section.
I was going to repair it but circumstances have changed.
This car was making 299KW reliably and was leaner on fuel than my stock R32 GTR (which I have sold).

Used to run at Wakefield on club days, and was quick.
Has a lot of nice features including red skyline lettering inserts on the boot.

Had $8000 on it, will take $6 grand cash, not a penny less, and will deliver for the cost of diesel.

Cheesewire restraining barrier at around 15 km/h. Nose went under it, the bruises are from the wire inside the car. Dangerous stuff...

Is repairable... That would need a shit tone of money thrown into it to even get it close to passing rego. Scrap for parts because no one's going to be 6k for a car in that condition.
btw wtf did you do? drive it off a cliff?

Wire restraining barrier. As I said. Impact was around 15km/h. Nose went under it, the wire took the momentum and swivelled the car sideways.

It is repairable, talked to a panelbeater also a few guys at Wakefield. Parts are available from Japan, around $1700 in new roof, right rear, door pillar panels, $450 for a secondhand door and guard, $200 in bonnet repairs. $2000 in caraligner and another $3.5k in paint. Its a 300kw car, not a stockie. Or part it out and get around $11k in parts.

how does one flip a car at 15kph?

srs question

Wire restraining barrier. Didnt flip. Slid into it, cops reckon someone oiled the road near the corner. Had just changed into second, was stopped at a set of traffic lights at a T intersection.

Or get a car with intact drivers door pillar/roof, drill the spotwelds, they were all machine assembled so welds are in exactly the same place.

Otherwise I will do it myself on the rotisserie.

11k in parts?

Sorry didn't read that part.
Still going to be hard to sell. not many people want to buy a car that f'ed up just to fix it. I'd love to buy it
Wouldn't you get more than 6k if you wrecked it? if you did in fact but 11k worth of parts for it.

Yes I would if I parted it out, would be sad, but I'm located in a rural area and not easy for people to pickup parts.
How much would it cost you to make a reliable 300kw gtr?
Anyway I have an offer, hopefully not another BS artist.


so its been through insurance hence classed as repairable write-off by insurer and not repairable deemed by your opinion?

Yes insured through Shannons, and bought back, its not on the register at all. Hhad a panel beater look at it yesterday, he reckons front tie rod is bent (they are apparently soft), no front chassis damage, unsure about the cradle but probably no damage, there's a small dent in the rear sill chassis rail but is not a fold, so will pull out. A right rear GTR cut, drivers pillar, and new roof, door trim/window, and front side windows. Rear cradle looks OK as well but cant tell until you get it on a hoist and measure it properly.

Sold it and then the buyer changed his mind when he fronted up with his parents ( !! FFS !! ) best offer I've had is $5,500 so will let it go for that.

My new project car is arriving in two weeks (1963 Ford Falcon Wagon) and I need the space.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
