NO LONGER FOR SALE... sorry i am going to keep her :ninja:

This really is an interesting car and I am happy to give you its full history.

It is by no means a show car. It is a full on performance car and would be very dangerous in the wrong hands. It really is a handful to drive if pushed but is fine in traffic and had been daily driven by me since buying and modifying it. It returns 400+ km’s to a tank and is comfortable to drive.

I built the car myself to suit my needs at the time. It we designed to be used as a daily that I could take out to the track or to the skidpan on the weekends.

It looks nice without getting attention from the wrong people. It is not overly loud but as it has a 2-way diff expect clunk in carparks…

I am not going to make any power claims as I do not have current dyno proof. It was dynoed when the motor was built but I have since lowered the boost and changed the tune as it was very difficult to get traction in 1st 2nd and 3rd. the car is currently running 16psi. I would estimate it is making around the 240~250rwkw mark. And somewhere in the vicinity of 400nm of torque.

I am in 2 minds about selling the car but have decided as much as I love it, its time for me to set aside my love for fast cars for now.

ENGINE - RB30DET

I built this engine using an RB25DE head with less than 60,000 k’s and an RB30E bottom that has been rebuilt. All new gaskets and seals were used and VCT is disabled. The engine runs perfectly makes ridiculous power and torque.

Misc engine additions:

Sliding performance hiflow

Splitfire panel filter

Iridium plugs

Turbotech Boost controller

Blitz FMIC

Braided stainless lines for turbo and VCT

Interior

Stereo

I am not in a hurry to sell it and have set a price of $14,000

I am not interested in haggling and am not hard up for cash. I built it for a lot more than this and anyone that wound be genuinely interested would know what is involved in putting together a machine like this.

I will put up photos in the next day or so :blink:

this is probably the worst photo in history :P but it gives you an itea of what the car looks like. she got stuck in my front yard after some really heavy rain :(

Picture015.jpg

here is a slightly better one. the intercooler is now black and the front lip has been removed :)

When you take photos take pics of the interior incl. back seats and the engine bay.

Any cosmetic/mechanical problems large or small?

Also what suburb are you from?

Edited by UNTS-1

Will do, I will be waiting till it is not 41deg outside ;)

mechanically the car is in excellent condition.

it has just had about $370 wouth of fluids changed :(

motul turbolight put in the motor

redline lightweight shockproof in the gearbox

castrol syntrax in the diff

new coolant

new PBR brake fluid

new power steering fluid

there are a couple of things i am looking into fixing at the moment.

I have just ordered a new speedo cable, there is an oil leak that will have to be fixed. thats it. both should be done in the next week or so.

asthetically the interior is in good condition excelp for a bubble in the dash like 90% of R32's have. body wise it is a 13 year old car and has a few marks and scratches here and there but on the whole is is a really nice tidy looking car.

I will take a lot of photos.

Thanks for all the PM's.

I regret to say the car is no longer for sale. I can't bare to part with her. sorry to the interested parties

    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
    • Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
