I imported this car as a stock late model R32gtst and built it up as though i was going to keep it forever. But things change and regretably ive got to let it go.

The car is a late 1993 model R32 gtst M Spec with 99000 genuine kms. I have recently finnished a full rebuild (car was off the road for about 3 years) which included forged 1997 R33 RB26 engine, single gt35r turbo, R33 gtst gearbox, Autronic SM4 engine management, full fuel system, brand new mechanical diff, etc, etc. The car has recently made 350rwkw and 573Nm at 18psi and was tuned by Dave at Silverwater Automotive in Sydney. I have spent over $60 000 on this car and have all receipts. I admit that i am anal retentive and obsessive compulsive, so be assured that nothing other than top notch gear has been used and absolute care has been taken with the car. The car has not been used in motorsports events of any kind.

I apoligise for the long post and large images, but i want any prospective buyer to share my enthusiasm for the car and the amount of work that has gone into it. Im not going to sell it to just anybody, so no tyre kickers. Interstate buyers are more than welcome.

Further details:

Everything in the engine bay has been highly polished (not chromed) including the engine covers, plenum, all stainless heat shields. Even all fasteners have been replaced with stainless items and polished.

All hoses have been replaced either with silicon or genuine Nissan items. Earls braided hoses and fittings are utilised extensively, and Earls Flame Guard has been used to protect hoses in hot areas.

I really wanted to make the engine thermally efficient and, with the heat shielding, heat wrap, ceramic coating, Flame Guard, vented bonnet, larger radiator, oil cooler, and massive OEM thermo fans, you dont burn your face off when you open the bonnet.

So i think thats it. The photos dont really do the car justice, but im sure you get the idea. Im in no hurry to sell the car so if it takes a while i dont mind. Im looking for the right buyer, so for interested enthusiasts, dont hesitate to contact me for any queries.

Im starting at $27000 negotiable. I dont care if other 32 GTR's are 20 grand; theyre not this car and i dont want to hear it. Dont forget that this car has done about 5000kms since a complete rebuild and re registration. I have carried out all the installation and fabrication work, but the engine building was left to the experts. Due to the higher than normal compression, the car is great to drive off boost and is acceptable for everyday duties. I really wanted to build an all round car, and i think ive acheived that.

All modifications have been engineered, and all receipts and import documentation are available for inspection. A comprehensive photo diary of every modification is also available for perusal. I also have all the air conditioning equipment that was removed and many other spares if the buyer wants them.

I can be contacted on 0414972596 anytime. The car is located on the Central Coast, NSW, about an hour north of Sydney.

Thanks for reading,

Shaun.

Thanks guys. Alot of work went into it. Theres about 400 hours of poloshing in the engine bay! i hope someone gets as much enjoyment out of it as i have!

I actually had no idea how much to put on it, as R32's like this rarely come up, but as always the price is negotiable.

Edited by Shaun

Good luck mate I've watched the built for the last 12 months atleast and I too am doing what you have done and that price seems fair, some people don't understand how much time and money go into projects like this, again good luck.

Very nice car mate

The air conditioning - Interested to konw what it would take to get that working again. Will the condensor still fit in or do the thermo fans now occupy that space?

The thermos do occupy that space, however, ive got the standard clutch fan that can be bolted to the water pump pulley as normal. Alternatively, conventional thermo fans could be placed behind the radiator, and the condensor could be replaced in the standard position. I just liked the gap between the engine and radiator. Its just a matter of bolting all the A/C stuff back on. Ive got it all.

No part of the body has been cut for any modification done, so the buyer can easily customise the car to suit his purpose fairly easily.

Oh, ive also got the standard bonnet and latch.

Paul, thanks for your comments mate; ill still call you up :)

Move over Suddam Hussain! We just found where you were hiding the WMD's.

Nice car mate! This this is a fine example of the power cars have over men and their wallets. Tell me if you had a girlfriend before you started this project is she still with you know.

Such a nice ride!

She's stuck by me the whole way and loves the car as much as i do! It certainly is a snow ball effect with money and mods, but someone is going to capitalise on my loss and get themselves an awesome car for a great price.

Cheers.

Had some time to kill today and put my R32 gtr wheels on the car. I reckon they look great. Ive had these wheels for about 2 years and have never put them on the car. Theyre in such perfect condition, that i put them in garbage bags and stored them away.

PS They dont come with the car ;)
