I'm with you there. Who wouldn't!

Although:

You may need to be a little more detailed in your request. What is decent power to you, 250kw or 900kw?

What other mods do you want to go along with it?

Are you looking to spend 25k or 80k?

If your budget is around 40, I'd import an decent 92/93 model and build a motor for it, or get a crate 3.2+ stroker from RIPS or SPOOL or someone similar. Or build a 26/30 yourself!

Or do you want a stock gtr that has 25+psi being fed into the high mileage 2.6 (with 80k's on the clock lol) with the only thing holding it together the upgraded head studs. Easy to get 350kw's out of one..Might last a month, might last years. Mine kept on keeping on! No idea how the rust kept the body together.

There are a couple of track ready Bnr's on Car Sales, and a GunGrey one with a big single and a blown motor. From memory a couple of decent single turbo GTR's were for sale up near Townsville, not sure if they are still there you would need to filter through the search function in this forum as they are not on carsales.

A couple of the 32's on car sales I'd stay well away from, unless you have a rust fetish..then by all means. Same goes if you chose certain importers...

If a 400 +/-kw single turbo Gun grey GTR that was owned by a forum member with a detailed build blog pops up in that 25 to 30k bracket, there will be a deposit on it before you can open the forum. So be quick, and good luck with your search.

Oh another option is, get a wad of cash out and go to one of your local SAU events or meets...

sycorp we all know your GTR and that thing is an absolute beast! Not to mention an absolute bargain at 75k!! You are throwing money away.

Lightning McQueen FTW

Looking at buying an R32 GTR with decent amount of power.

Can be whatever colour, just show me what you have and go from there.

Cheers.

Wes is selling his. That is a lot of car for that price.

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.
    • Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment. Specs Front: 18x9.5j +22 5x114 Rear: 18x10j +20 5x114 Price: 320,000 JPY/ 3,285 AUD (current FX rate) Condition: a few scratches here and there, no bends, distortions or cracks.  Tires will not be included for international buyers, I'll get them dismounted before shipping. They're currently listed on yahoo auction and will be shipped in Japan with the tires if they sell here. Shipping costs to Aus: EMS (1-2 weeks): AUD 1,175 (current FX rate) Sea (2 months): AUD 460  (current FX rate)
    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
