Merli's R32 Track Bitch

[Merli]

Hey guys,

So life has moved on, I no longer have time to do regular track days so I want to pass this car onto an owner who will use it as it was intended.

There's 30 pages here of build tracking with photos galore and I'm sure you can see from the parts list, that this car was built with an open cheque book.

Please email me ([email protected]) if you're looking to buy a track-focused R32 GTR!

Cheers,
Andrew.

3. No-one could offer enough money to offset the costs that I've incurred building this thing... I would never get my money back from this car, so I would never sell it until *I* was ready to move on, and it was time to move into another track car such as a Lotus Exige or Porker.

Gotta love the number of replies you made like this, but priorities change.

I have sent you an email re the car. I look forward to hearing back from you soon

what does she look like these days, hasnt been a pick in like 3 years. 

also just read the thread... looked good.

[Merli]

Yep, she's been sitting under a cover, in a locked garage for a couple of years now.

I visited my baby yesterday to see if she's still in one piece, and she looks just like the day I last saw her (just with a bit of added dust ;))

pm me what sort of price point your thinking

[JimmyRickard]

I really want your Nissan roll bar padding!

Next owner will be very lucky indeed. GLWS

This makes me sad.

So here's a parts list that Neil helped put together. I added some things that he missed, and I'm sure there's still a whole lot of other mods and improvements done that I can't remember off the top of my head.

Asking $45k for the car. I think this is incredibly priced for the parts alone, let alone the low km 1994 R32 GTR.

It's just had a $2,000 service (fluids changed, mechanicals checked, injectors cleaned, new battery, etc)

Was this driving a few weeks ago?? I think I saw it...and heard it before I saw it!

Quite possibly... I drove it a little to blow out the cobwebs and to move it between garages and workshops.

It's definitely loud

Will be a shame to see this sell, but the new owner will be getting one of the most meticulously built GTR's, from possibly THE most anal GTR fanatic in the country.

 

 

[AMR33]

Has this moved on to a new owner? If so, do they care to share their future plans (assuming they're a forum member) 

[Merli]

It's still sitting in my garage... I haven't had time to take photos and advertise it anywhere :(

[paulR32gtr]

Just gathering dust and appreciating in value! I must say I was pretty tempted to buy it when you had it up for sale.

[Merli]

It's still for sale, if anyone is interested.

I just don't need to sell it, so it's not top of my priority list. However that said, I would honestly love to see someone take ownership of it and enjoy it!
