This is my car and yes she’s up for sale. See below for the specs and relevant info but I think you’ll find that this is one of the most complete 32 GTR’s for sale at the moment. Yes it is an 89 model BUT look below what has gone into the build of this car before you mention the usual “I can get a 32 GTR for $XX,xxx”. If you are at all familiar with these cars you know it is very much a case of you get what you pay for…

All mechanical work was done by Hyper Drive in Malaga both before and after I took possession of the car. The usual love and attention of 5,000km service intervals has been religiously followed for the ~20,000km I have had the car with only Mobil 1 being and BP Ultimate 98 being put in the car. All fluids have been done in the last 12 months including a full brake bleed and coolant power flush.

The car is currently in a pretty lazy state of tune with 360rwhp (shootout mode @ 18psi) and I’ve had it at the drags for the grand total of 4 passes before the previous clutch started to slip (now has twin plate) for a 12.5 @ 110mph. The car has never seen a track or motorsport event other than this occasion. I am not a hoon and nor do I feel the need to prove myself or the car at every set of traffic lights.

Motor and gearbox rebuilds occurred in 2005 as did the re-spray and all of the new Nissan items. The rear diff was done in September 2007 and ABS unit in December 2007.

Essentially the whole car has been stripped and rebuilt to as new/better than new specifications and everything you see listed below has been done since 2005.

The odometer currently reads 107xxx kms. Over 50% of the kilometres I’ve done in the car were done between Feb and September last year when I used the car as a daily to and from work for a period of time while I didn’t have a work vehicle (When I purchased the car I had a work vehicle and now have another so she’s back in the garage most days). Since November 2005 the only issue I’ve had was a seal letting go in the rear diff necessitating a rebuild and last year the ABS unit developed a leak (new ABS unit installed). This package is rock solid. Even the fuel consumption is pretty good as I’ll routinely get 440+km to a tank.

The reason for the sale is that I am looking at getting a more ‘normal’ primary vehicle and also getting a motorcycle. I guess I’m getting old J, plus mortgage repayments are a b#tch!!! If it helps sweeten the deal I have a number of original parts still lying around that came off the car when the new stuff went on a workshop manual etc.

The list goes on and on and I’m sure I’ve missed a few things. This is my second 32 GTR and it took me 9 months to find one that was up to my standards. I’m very fussy with my cars and I can honestly say that I’ve never shied away from spending the required money to get quality parts and tuning. The car has permits for the airfilters, intercooler and the Nismo strut bar it used to have window tint but it was too dark so I had it removed. The car also has an autowatch immobiliser with central locking. Car regoed till March 09.

I was told the by the previous owners that they had poured approximately $50,000 into this car and basically the whole car was stripped and rebuilt. I purchased it in November 2005 and I have since spent another $20,000+ ($12,500 of that in parts alone, I can show you the receipts for everything I have done). I’m happy to field any genuine queries about the car and meet prospective buyers to show it off but only those that have put a deposit down will get to drive her.

I’m more than happy to send the car to the Eastern states if there is interest from over there. My last car actually went to Melbourne so it’s no drama for me to do this again. I’ll even take the cost of your airfare off the negotiated sale price if you buy the vehicle.

Asking price is $32,000

I am not interested in swaps unless you have a 2002 + Honda VTR250 with low kms, full service history and no crash history AND/OR a Nissan X-trail of around the same age.

Thanks for reading this ridiculously long post. Have a look at the pics below, I can put up more on request.

Cheers,

Ryan.

    • PRICE  : $1400 LOCATION   : NSW Central Coast FIT  :  All Nissan 350Z type Z33 and Infinity G35 Coupe. See delivery note. Hi, brand new, unused, still in the box.  ($1850.00 is what i paid ) My bad luck !!! I thought my right front  Bilstein was cactus so i bought the ST 's to replace all.  Turns out the right front is fine ( loose mounting after service  by a well known importer of Bilsteins ) So im selling the ST's. They are made by KW ( no intro needed ) . Iam on the Central Coast and im willing to meet up in Sydney metro, within reason and Newcastle.
    • Yep, yeah would need to do the flywheel although the 6 bolt NA clutch can handle a 20de if just wants to replace the stocker.
    • No it's fine. Heat sleeve is a thing. With oil running through it it is unlikely. Engine off heat soak can be a thing though. There is no way that you have a leak through the hose. That has pressure behind it and any small hole will turn into a large one in very short order. It is so much more likely to be leaking from the connection.
    • Really? That's piss weak. I didn't know they hobbled the shitboxen that badly. OK. So probs need to buy a flywheel too. But that's not too bad.
    • Hi all. I already posted some newbie-ish questions here and there but this will be my first "big" post. Last summer I went and fulfilled a kind of childhood wish, because I just thought I needed this experience in my life no matter what. The car I bought is a mildly modded 1995 BCNR33 Vspec. It was repainted to a metallic orange color all around and it had all windows reseated. Not so well done black respray in the trunk and a metallic black in the engine bay. From outside it looks very nice except for a minor paint error on the roof and the rear spats needing new adhesive tape. The inside is pretty clean and no broken plastics, missing or faded buttons. Even the adjustable mirrors and trunk antenna work like a charm. Despite a moderately long list of issues I don't (yet) regret buying this car. Most mechanical problems are just due to age, like worn rubbers here and there. The underside sadly has lots of corrosion, especially to the back. It looks like it either has been driven in the winter for a while or it lived near the saltwater in Japan, the rust is nothing terrible but it'll require to be looked after. Mostly panel gaps and all the mounted components underneath are a bit crusty, but I don't think anywhere has progressed so badly that there's going to be holes. Front right jacking rail is crushed and needs some care so it doesn't develop into a rust crater at some point. Worst part is definitely the strut towers. I thought they looked fine but after taking off the strut bar I noticed that it actually started bulging up on the passenger side. Probably would have passed on the car or negotiated down by some thousand Euros more if I had noticed this before buying, but here we are. Trunk area also has signs that there was a water leak to the interior once but nothing too crazy, I guess lots of Skylines had this at some point. As for the list of (known) issues, I'll try to make this compact. I hope the coloring is self explanatory. Mechanical: -Various busted or soon-to-be busted rubber bushings and ball joints. Will replace ball joints with OEM or better and bushings with polyurethane where possible. -Shaking steering wheel at above 80kph -downshift from 5th to 4th is a bit crunchy unless I rev-match, might just try to renew the shifter assembly, but it's not a priority issue -tailshaft centre bearing could use a replacement, is it worth going 1-piece tailshaft as it doesn't look too fresh all around? Chassis: -underbody corrosion on many spots and in hollow spaces, needs to be treated -corrosion on many bolts, hoses, lines, suspension components, subframes, will be treated when replacing of the bushings is needed as time goes on -strut tower top panels and some of the surrounding panels are rusty, so needs fixing. Will look into doing this with a buddy in the winter, otherwise bite the bullet and pay a professional -driver side door is misaligned to the body and needs to go a slight bit more inwards -both door windows are misaligned and have an airgap where the window meets the door at the B pillar -The Aerocatch latches for the bonnet have locks but no keys, need new keys. -driver side door window is kind of gritty and could use a polish -damaged jacking rails and front frame rails, from people lifting the car the wrong way, might have this fixed by a bodyshop Electrical: -Nismo tachometer is just bouncing and displaying nonsense, supposedly worked fine when the stock ECU was still in the car -An old Greddy boost controller sits on the dash which will be removed as it servers no purpose anymore. -a led segment rpm gauge is on the steering column, will probably also be (re-)moved once the Nismo tacho is working correctly -there was an attempt to make the sound system better by the previous owner but it was just inducing noise all the time, ripped out the amp and filters in the back, no music for now -trunk antenna goes up as long as the radio is on regardless of the mode, I want it to only rise if I choose Radio specifically or per switch -3rd brake light is a bit dimmer than the taillights but everything was converted to LEDs so mabye now it just seems dimmer? -reverse light flickers, have to test if that behavior changes when I fiddle with the gear stick. Hope I can get around changing the switch. -Left side taillight, blinker section has minor water intake and is humid after washing. Other side has a hole in it, probably for that exact reason. I'll probably reseal them entirely and plug the holes. Engine: -minor coolant drips on one or the other hose -rear turbo leaks oil onto the exhaust making the car essentially undriveable due to fire hazard -Oil filter relocation kit has an oil drip at the Dash lines, will probably make a new connection there and tighten real good and pray -throttle body assembly is slightly stuck for the first throttle pedal input after sitting for a while I'm always open to suggestions and advice from more experienced people, I'm sure half of this list is easily dealt with and just requires some time and effort to sort out properly. Once I have some proper pictures of the car I will post some in this thread, I just have to remember to take some more once I get the chance to. Will post updates when I have news on anything, I want to try to keep this thread as kind of a logbook as well. Ultimately my goal for this car is to just enjoy it. An engine rebuild is probably going to happen sometime as well, because it is old after all. It will never be fully new again, I am just not that rich. But I want it to look good, work well and not rot away while I drive it. I'm probably gonna spend a lot of money on this journey, hopefully not an unreasonable amount.
