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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
