Any one after a nice, automatic GTS4 coupe? I have one in the rare dark blue. 1989 R32, freshly imported with full rego (unlike the race import someone is trying desperately to sell in Launceston - telling punters it can be registered!) 89000km with 6 months rego. I'm looking for around $14000, but this is a zero rust car, as opposed to all the junkers that are coming in now that the end of the 15 year rule is nigh. Car is in Launceston but will travel for a serious looker.

I know what you mean. Don't come south a lot anymore, used to live in Hobart though. If you are genuinely interested I will travel, could meet you part way or something like that? I have sent you a p/m and also an email.

btw, this is the 5spd manual, not the 4spd Auto?

*edit: Also, these have an electronically controlled 4WD system... how does that work..?

No this is the automatic. I have driven both manuals & autos before, the auto is super smooth and great as an everyday driver. 3 different shift modes, try it out and you may well be suprised at how nice it is!

My limited understanding is that it's an 'on demand' 4wd system with some sort of G force sensor that tells the car when 4wd may be needed. Presumably there'd also be some sort ofsystem that applies 4wd if one of the driving wheels loses traction too. Of course I say 'limited understanding' and don't profess to be an expert, hopefully someone will either correct me and/or provide an accurate description of how it works. Other posts I've read say it's the same system as the GTR.

Stock except for a 3 inch Apexi exhaust with big end can and 4 inch tip. Tyres have a lot of life left (unlike most recent imports), balance of 6 months rego, Xenon gas driving lights, dark blue, zero rust (again unlike a lot of imports), the spare has never been used, and when I lifted it out of the boot it looked as though it had never even been moved in 16 years!

$1432 from Tassie to Brisbane by Patrick logistics. Of course the other option is fly down (fares are cheap and there are direct flights) drive it home on the Spirit of Tassie from Devonport to Sydney then road trip to Brisbane from there.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
