Item: Black 1990 R32 GTR

Location: Melbourne

Item Condition: Stock standard car which is fairly good and clean for its age has usual GTR wear marks on seat and few small burn holes but is factory stock never been tinkered with.

Reason for Selling: This is an expression of interest to see if its worth me selling it. Something has let go in the engine and it was making a loud crunching sound so it hasnt been started since but would still run if started but i dont want to risk causing further damage. Has 90,000 odd kilometers on the clock and it happened whilst just driving along for no apparent reason.

Price and Payment Conditions: Not to sure as yet but paid 24k for this about a year and a half ago and want to see what it would be worth in as is condition. If i get an offer of something decent i will let it go otherwise i will get another engine and fix it or have it pulled down assesed and fixed the current engine in it. Im not sure whats wrong with it and i couldnt tell you anymore than what i have described.

Extra Info: Car is complied and has till mid next year rego and is it totally factory stock except some shitty ugly alloys which were on the car when i got it and a razo gearknob.

Contact Details: Via PM

I do have pics and i will send them via email.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
