1989 Nissan R32 GTR, RB26DETT, 5 speed ATESSA 4WD.

 

Im selling this on behalf of my uncle, who is an elderly GTR gentleman enthusiast. It is now being sold to make way for his dream GTR R35. During his ownership, he has travelled less than 25000 ks.

 

This car is an early build 89 GTR, and was imported around 10 years ago by a reputable importer, under what was then the 15 year old scheme, so this means that the car didn’t have to have a lot of the usual mods such as guard indicators, modified tail lights etc the ones imported under RAWS did, hence it retains the original GTR features that will suit the enthusiast/collector.

 

Unlike most GTR’s of this age, it is rust free, and the paint (original colour) is in very good condition, with very few minor blemishes. It should be thought of as a ‘’survivor car’’ as opposed to one that has been restored, so keep in mind this car is almost 30 years old.

 

Inside, the seats are in good condition, although the material has separated from the foam, so whilst not ripped, could do with taking to a trimmer to be re-glued to make it perfect. It has an aftermarket steering wheel, boost and oil pressure gauge. It has a Sony CD player that was fitted in Australia at the time. The interior clock works intermittently (as is common on these cars) but the climate display works fine. Of note is that the dash does not have a bubble or a crack, and the vents are all in good condition. If you are a GTR enthusiast, you will know how rare this is, and also is evidence of how the car has been kept indoors most of its life.

 

It has been religiously serviced and has what we believe to be a turbo upgrade, and has a minor boost increase. That said, I am unsure, so cant confirm specs. It also had a heavy duty clutch fitted some time ago in Australia. It has an aftermarket alloy radiator, and has had the inlet manifold removed recently and hoses replaced. It also has an aftermarket cat-back exhaust system on the car. The wheels are finished in matt black, and are 17 x 9”with good tyres. It also had a Brembo R33 GTR front and rear brake upgrade with slotted rotors, which significantly improved its braking ability, and is the same as featured on the rare V spec/Vspec II models.

 

The odometer is showing 141000ks and our checks so far have shown this to be real. If you want to do your own checks go right ahead. The car does not have log books, or any paperwork, but once again, it has been in Australia for around 10 years with one owner, so the history is known from then.

 

Rust free and very tidy GTR’s like this are very hard to find in Japan, and if you do find one, would cost more than we are asking for this.

 

As such, please:

 

  • Do not call or messaging asking ‘’whats your best price’’- if you are a genuine buyer you will make an appointment to inspect the vehicle and we can discuss, but note that we are not interested in giving the car away, so don’t waste our time or yours with low-ball offers;
  • Have your money/finance ready to go. Don’t bother calling if you have to get a loan, talk to the bank manager, sell your car, ask your mum, or get permission from the Mrs. This is all stuff you need to sort out well before coming to look, as odds are, it will have sold before you get your sh*t together;
  • Not interested in trades, swaps or anything of that nature. And yes, cash is the currency we deal in, so its pointless asking me ‘’how much for cash money” as we aren’t interested in exchanges of goats, cheese, bitcoin, your kid sister or anything of that nature;
  • I can assist with arranging interstate transport at cheap prices.

Price: $43,500 negotiable

Location: Newcastle, NSW

Please contact me on 0411789506 to discuss.

Regards,

Bryan

This makes me grumpy.  That's a wonderful example.  The only problems are it being an early car rather than a late one, and my wife would kill me if I brought it home.

Doesn't matter if it's an early or late one, GT-R is GT-R

In some ways earlier is better. I like the fact that I have a 'lightweight' first edition with no aussie compliance bullshi*

Lovely example. Looks like it came in to Aus around the same time as when I imported my first one, so this one has been very well looked after.

That dash looks brand new! Love it.

Earlier models are lighter?  How so, do you mean like no side intrusion bars? If it came in via the old 15yr rule these would have had to have been installed to get it engineered, and in fact most of the time square metal tube was used which actually ended up making the doors far heavier than later model 32's that had the intrusion bars installed in Japan in the factory. My 89 GTR ended up heavier than my current 94 for example. Unless you mean the Nismo 32's that had thinner paint, no rear window wiper and no aircon I think? Yeah they were a little lighter, 30 or 40kg's from memory if anyone can confirm?

Yeah i was talking about side intrusion bars, pretty sure mine doesn't have any such modifications, i was under the impression it was imported under the 15 year rule, but i thought that meant no compliance had been carried out? You probably know more than me having owned both an early and a late model. I have no idea how much mine weighs, but my point was more that i quite like having a early 'original' model, especially compared to ones that have had side indicators stuck on.

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
