Happy new years!

So I'm looking to sell my mostly loved but sometimes neglected 1989 R32 GTR. Just had it serviced and a full mechanics report done, nothing major and nothing outside of all the normal problems, oil leaks so on.

Recently I saw a similar condition car go for what was listed at 23k but not sure, its since gone. But would assume it went for >20k. Anyway. Looking for advice on the best way to sell it, not just for the most money for me, but to the benefit of SAU and the Skyline community who will treasure such a car. Or to not and where to go from here :)

General details:
Bought April? 2011, had 84kkm on it IIRC
109kkm now, was a daily for 3yrs, not used so much the last 4 hence relatively low ~4kkm/yr
Timing/water etc standard stuff done for the 100k service at about 96k IIRC. Bosch alternator with custom loom done then too, as well as all the main oil/water piping (blue in the pictures)
Literal only mods are pods, 4" exhaust, fuel pump (not sure what, not going to open up and see but it sounds Bosch definitely not stock), thermo fan not that that counts :P
Inverted U-shaped crack about the size of tissue box passenger side window at the bottom left, not a RWC issue AFAIK
Scrape/dent from stupid tiny Sydney carparks just forward of back left wheel-well, pizza box sized, quote was about $700 to fix and paint
Overall paint about a 1, few peelings around the place, and generally the last re-paint seems to have been not the best as some bubbles :(

Some pictures as it was 4yrs ago (the 2 dirty ones prior to a clean after a road trip), newer pictures to come but really looking for an experienced member in Sydney (north shore, St Leonards to be exact) to come have a look and advise. Willing to pay for the time for a physical, otherwise starting at least with some onlines advices :)

Cheers guys!

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
