1990 R32 GTR   $16000.    Rego’d to Feb 17.

I’m the 2nd owner, had her for 6 years and done no miles as she lives under tarps in the shed.

My plan was the keep her forever but circumstances have changed, so there you go.

Previous owner also did no miles, another old codger who tinkered with her in his garage for 5-years while the daily lived out on the street.

Has the usual dash bubble and yes the 125,000 on the clock doesn’t match with wear on steering wheel etc.  Didn’t worry me, she’s a 25 year old import after all.

Paint looks good, resprayed by previous owner, some stone chips. New battery, tyres like new.

Has a towbar for the Hobie, NOT for anything heavy or you’d tear the arse right off.

Everything except the clock works, HICAS, ATTESA all the original Nissan gadgetry is still there, I wanted to keep her stock.

Has HID’s on low beam with relays and diode so low stays on with high.

Aircon is cold and has the thermo fan mod.

Still has the boost restrictor in the yellow hose.

Engine runs sweet as, but she’s worn. Running around 145-150psi cold and down to 135-145psi hot.  No smoke, gets Valvoline synthetic oil changes even though the old stuff is brand new.  Stock gauge goes way up to 6+ on cold start, drops to 4 once warm. Will sometimes go low and then return, clearly needs that new sender I bought, but haven’t got around to fitting.

Previous owner had the cam belt etc done but she had cam seal leaks by the time I got her home so I re-did all that, no leaks now.

Car hasn’t seen over 4000 from me, I short shift into 5th at 60 and away she pulls.

Interior is tidy, has scored some new plastic trims on birthdays, driver’s mat is worn but I’ve got spares.

Came with an M80 noise maker and a club steering wheel lock.

Basically a very standard car, straight chassis rails, no modifications apart from exhaust.

Comes with odd spare bits/pieces collected over the years. PFc and boost kit, never been fitted. Have a set of silicon coolant hoses that I also never got around to fitting.

Factory thermo fan comes on when aircon is activated.

A diode is fitted between the aircon relay's output across to the trigger of the thermo fan relay.

They're mounted beside one another in the engine bay fuse box so a simple task.

You'll find the aircon runs cooler especially in city traffic.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
