I bought a front cut of a r32 gts-t a month ago. Only to find out it was a r32 gt-four front cut.

Now I found out today from my mechanic. That it's a different engine and it's not all gonna bolt up. Something to do with the sump or some shit.

So i'll cut my loses and sell it, I'm looking for $1100 but no less than $1k

It is missing the front struts, radiator, qtr panels and headlights. As that is the way it came, even though he said it was only missing the qtr panels.

I am also willing to trade for an rb20det (from gts-t) with loom. I don't need the box as I have a 25 box already, or I will trade for an rb25det with loom and turbo with a cash adjustment from my behalf.

engine's virtually the same... sump is different as it has a front diff goin thru it. Converting it to fit a RWD car is the exact same process as modifying an RB26DETT to fit into a RWD car.

do you have the details on converting it to a rwd car and rough cost to do the conversion? As I don't want to sell it if It can be converted rather easily.

I have an aftermarket sump on my old rb20det engine. My mechanic seems to think that it can't be swapped. I should have taken pics of what he was talking about.

But if someone wants to swap or buy it off me over the next few weeks then I will do it. I just want my car back on the road a.s.a.p. It's been off the road since mid October

How many klms and condition?

I trust your judgement though, as you were going to use it on your car. Dude...change mechanics!!! I am sure can change the sump, however there will be a few holes remaining here and there.

Let me know if you need to sell and I'll bail you out!

D

it has 91k on the clock. I'll post up exact kms tomorrow. It doesn't have a problem starting, waiting for my mechanic to do a compression test. Maybe a leak down test as well. I'm having 2nd thoughts about selling the cut seeing it can be down if I cut the front diff and axles and welded it back up.

Will let you know and thanks for the offer :P

  • 3 weeks later...
Pic of bottom of 4WD block. the small holes are for the 2WD sump. and the large on the outside are 4WD ones. hope it helps.

thanks very much Dsturbed and Gilly, they really do help. I just have to work out if it's worth selling it or modify the sump. I just need to find someone who can do it for cheap

I have a sump from a NA RB20 that should/could fit. Not sure what its worth?

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
