Hi All,

Unfortunately, it has come time for me to sell my daily BNR32! I'm getting married in November and I'm simultaneously starting a small business (and need to raise a little capital).

History:
I purchased this car about 2 years ago off a guy called Craig (I don't think he was a SAU member). I think I looked at about 15 different 32's at the time none of them to my liking. I've been driving my 32 for about 30 minutes to/from work each day. It certainly hasn't had any track days while I owned it, and I know the previous owner didn't take it out either.

In terms of work being done on it, it was all under the premise of 'tasteful' and 'subtle'. Basically, my brief to my tuner was always 'if a policeman opens the bonnet, I don't want them to even think that work had been done on the car'. Hence, the original wheels and height remained. Notwithstanding, the car has enough poke to really enjoy (its on ethanol, and making 280awkw). In the same sentence, I got pulled up twice in this car (for a 'random' check), and there was never any issues! My mandate is/was successful!

When I first got the car, I ensured my tuner (David MacDermid) from DMD tuning went through the car with a fine tooth comb. He was really impressed with the engine health (compression) and overall status of the car. A really good basis for the tune.

Conscious of security (who isn't with these things), I actually flew Chris Rogers down from BNE to personally install an alarm/immobilizer combination. He was extremely professional, and well worth the money. In true Chris fashion, security electronics are very very very well installed.

In terms of what I want for this car, I believe it is worth $24k, as I think this car has a really good heritage, and has been well maintained and shown that it deserved. Despite that, I am willing for movement by 5 percent. I am in no hurry to sell this car. If you're not willing to spend $24k on a GTR, you probably shouldn't be looking.

If you have any questions, please call me on 0421 730 138. I will not let you drive it unless you have a drivers licence, and I will not let you drive it without a holding deposit. I will not accept swaps or joy riders. Don't even bother. Lastly, I will be meeting people away from my home, for obvious reasons. I am located near Eltham.

Hi Wongy, thanks for your question. I never got these off Craig (previous owner), I didn't ever ask for it to be honest. The previous owner was meticulous, and trustworthy, and the car spoke for itself. Probably doesn't validate your question Wongy, Apologies!

In lieu, I found the PPSR cert. I ran on the car before I bought it. I'll upload this when I get home. This has the VIN, Engine#, and compliance date.

Cheers,

Tim.

Just asking :) because it will certainly help with the sale, theres a website you can get it off, have to pay of course, but its well worth it in the end. Even though i have no doubts it looks clean and well maintained, i would get it as extra documentation,pm me if u want the website.

regards

Nathan

Hi Nathan. Thanks so much for the tip. I'll send you a message now. I also have the PPSR cert from when I bought it. I would recommend anyone buying a car to check it out (it was $4).

Cheers,

Tim

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
