Looking to wreck my 33 GTS-t that happened late last year when some clever old lady thought it might be a good idea to run a red light. I bought the car back off of the insurance company and have had it sitting here since as I've been too busy with work and other commitments to do anything with it. In the last few weeks I've sold off the turbo and exhaust but everything else is still there. She cleaned right across my front so headlights, front bar, rad support are all rooted. I tried turning over the motor after getting the wreck back and can confirm it still runs fine. Car has approx 130000km's on the clock. Interior is mint condition apart from the dash and steering wheel where the airbags have deployed but seats, trim etc are all fine. She ran on white 17' BuddyClub P1's and I just put new rubber on them probably two to three weeks before the car was totalled so the tyres would have done under 1500k's.

Looking at getting around the $4000-5000k for the wreck, honestly I don't know if this is too steep but it's a starting point and I'm willing to negotiate. If there is enough interest in parts I will also be willing to strip the car off and sell parts individually...

Most have been sold off already buddy, still have an RB25 PowerFC with hand controller and boost controller but I'm 99% sure that's spoken for by Madaz

    • Do the R32s run high or low impedance injectors?
    • It may not feel like it to your wallet....but sounds like this was one of those "lucky you did it" rebuilds. Hopefully you have better luck this time
    • It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.
    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
