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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
