For sale I have a 1990 R32 GTSt. It is a 5 speed manual coupe with sunroof (that actually works), a/c that blows cold, p/s, ABS, all the usual electrics. It is dark green with 88000km. The car is stock other than a turbo timer and Alpine CD / Cassette / Equalizer. A nice straight car that isn't an ex drifter or that's been flogged. Fully registered.

Open to offers that are made with cash to back them up. [email protected]

Tasmania only thanks, this is why the ad is posted here.

by the way, I sold a blue GTS4 ages ago, the happy new owner rang me and told me how he'd taken it to the Scottsdale show and picked up three trophies, best rims, best interior and car of the show overall!

He's invested a fair bit in the car on rims etc. It was a nice car when he bought it, it's insane now!

Yes to Phat MR30 and to Wogboy.  Getting it out there to be seen!  Yep, straight clean car.  Wogboy, my missus saw you checking it out,  & liked your number plates!

Yeah, we stopped and had a look, my young bloke is after one.

so what's the deal with this car?

This is a car I spent some time hunting the jap auctions for.

This isn't one that was bought once the end of the 15 year rule was announced, people bought anything they could get their hands on, and it reflects in the 'quality' of some of the cars that are now on the market - talk to any of the mainland players and it's common knowledge that anything you can't sell you send to Tasmania as they'll buy anything.

This car doesn't have rust, it came from southern Japan, so no snow & ice, therefore no road salt.

Yep, you could buy an unregistered uncomplianced car for around $10K, but remember it's probably one of dozens bought in bulk by a big time mainland importer, who is now trying to offload the dregs in Tassie.

This car is actually registered here, so you aren't buying a car that needs anything doing to it. The chassis numbers actually match the import approval, unlike a certain Hobart operator trying to pass himself off as a import dealer. He is getting a reputation for dodgy activities, and legitimate importers are complaining about his activities as he ruins it for everyone.

This car is seriously for sale as my better half is off the Uni next year, so a toy must go.

Well what sort of price are you looking for? I'm interested in an R32. I could make an offer but it better if there originally is a price to go on! I'll have a look on eBay.

How may k's? So you live in Launnie? Are you heading into Hobart anytime soon?

I will send you a PM. However it has 88000km on it. It is a neat, clean & rust free example, especially when compared to a lot of what has flooded in since the end of the 15 year rule. Never has the adage of you get what you pay for been more appropriate.

Not heading to Hobart anytime soon, but can meet you part way if you really do want to have a look.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
