Have an R32 GTR which has had fire damage and I am trying to make up my mind what to do with it.

The damage is mainly contained to the interior which has now been gutted including all wiring and it will need a new roof skin. There are no doors, front or rear bumpers etc. and there is slight damage to the LH rear taillight panel and quarter. Despite all of this I believe it is wothwhile saving and put back on the road possibly as a convertible (if you are looking for something different) or it would be a perfect canditate for a race car. This car was registered in NSW but the registration has since lapsed.

I am open to selling it complete with the majority of the running gear or just as a bare shell but don't really feel like parting it out.

If there is enough interest I will give more details and appropriate prices.

Thanks in advance.

So the driveline/motor is still intact/undamaged and was operational (but not anymore due to wiring not being there). I may be interested. Got any pics of damaged areas?

Cheers

The driveline was intact when purchased but I bought the car to get another motor for my race car so it has since been removed. The motor from my race car is available but the bottom end is stuffed as a rod went through the block and sump etc. The head has some slight damage but is salvageable and there are no turbo's.

Post a price please as per the rules.

Yeh I knew this was coming. I have asked for expressions of interest to help me figure out how best to advertise it and will try to do something in this regard soon. I will also try to post some pic's and more details as soon as I can but work commitments don't allow me much time on the computer these days.

Make no bones about it, this is a major project if someone wants to get it back on the road but it would handy to use if rebuilding a wreck.

I am in two minds as to sell this thing as I had envisaged keeping it as a spare for my race car but storage is an issue.

I will offer $5000 as long as it is registerable

I can't see why it couldn't be re-registered and this is around the price I was thinking of. Send me a PM and I will give you my contact number.

I will try to post more details soon but have to log off again.

Regards,

Well thats fair enough, but if you knew you didnt have the money why did you ask me to hold it for you for 2 weeks?

I THOUGHT, THAT YOU WERE HOLDING IT FOR ME, BUT STILL SHOWING IT TO PEOPLE, AND YOU WERE GOIN TO LET ME KNOW IF THERE WAS ANOTHER BUYER, THATS WHAT I THOUGHT YOU WERE DOING.

Yes the chassis can be reused. I assume by proper history you are asking if it was properly imported and complied? If this is what you are asking I can confirm this was the case.

By Japanese VIN number do you mean the one stamped on the firewall?

I have some photos available but am not sure how to post to this thread so I can email them to any interested parties on request.

I can also confirm that there are no brake calipers or rotors, no intercooler, no lights or bootlid/wing.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
