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.

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?

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.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
