hey guys i was thinking about buying this 1993 R32 GTS-T on carsales:

http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/...rch_distance=25

i have to ask u guys a few Questions, your experiances and expertise would be valuable here

a few things woried me when i rang him..

- first of all, he said he wanted 13.5K not 12.3(it was a 'mistake') but will sell for around 13K CASH!

- its been running on 14psi (and apparantly made 167rwkw) for few months, now its back to normal

- may need a new clutch (not a big problem)

- and the main problem i have with it is he said he bought it from his neighbour for 14K 9 months ago and its still registered under his neighbours name :D

This seems dodgy to me, like the cars been stolen, its a rebirth, theres money owing on it or he could just run off with the money once paid, because if he dosn't 'own' it then how can he be selling it. WHAT DO U GUYS THINK? iwould appreciate ur honest opinion

i just don't know how it will work if i buy it, how would i get it registered under my name??

p.s. im in ViC

If he uses the words 'I promise to God' in any of your conversations, then its a cut n shut, rebirth etc :P

in order for it to be registered to u the previous owner (ie the person who its regod with with vicroads) will need to fill out a rego transfer form with you..

if u has one already written up by the 'neighbour' and is trying to sell it on his behalf then walk away...

yeah i wouldnt touch it sounds like its been thrashed pretty bad anyway no clutch and running 14psi...

i bought my '90' model 32 four months ago it took me six months to find a good one untouched im doing work to it myself it has 60,000 on the clock take your time with 32's cause they are old i found alot of screwed ones if you still want it check vin number with vicroads

my question is how did the front plate get smashed up and then flattened out?

major stack methinks

Couldn't agree more and look at the new front bar. But then again I've seen plenty of damaged cars fixed good as new and I reckon 50% of the cars we drive have had repair work done before we bought them. Just go and have a look, check the rails etc and look for repair work. If it's good then hey! If not, leave it.

The whole thing looks a bit sus to me though, keep looking :nyaanyaa:

My 2c

what about this one? looks pretty sweet and alot cheaper than that dodgy one :D

http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/...rch_distance=25

its even got flared guards! and 33GTR wheels (well the front pair anyway)

/i should stop looking at all these 32's, just makes me want to go and buy another one :D

There is also legislation for selling on someones behalf. May not be applicable in this case (dont know Vic Roads fully) but I am selling a Merc for my g/f's step dad who is the executor of an estate. He can legally sign the sale docs as the executor.

Agree there is possibly something odd in this case though

personally I wouldnt even look if the owner cant even spell 'fuel pump' or 'gear knob' or 'stereo' :D probably been neglected for the 9+ months.

you can edit a price 'mistake' on carsales btw, so its a lame excuse.

another thing to make it seem dodgy is that the rego number was entered into carsales incorrectly.. (you can do searches for rego numbers)

136ks, needs a new clutch, probably had a stack at the front and 13k to a dodgy seller.. i'd keep looking..

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
