G'Day guys,

Looking to get an R32 which I will drive on the road, but would like to slowly build it up for track days also. Due to current outlays, the only way I can do this is to swap my 2004 R1. Its an awesome bike, very well maintained and with some unique carbon fibre bits.

All info here.

Any questions welcome.

Cheers

keep the r1..

Ha, yes I do feel that when I ride it for sure!! I love this thing, but just dont use it anymore. I have never tracked it, but from having used to race sports sedans in QLD, I have the itch again and Superlap looks like a cool thing. So a change would be good for something I could thrash a bit, my Mercedes is awesome too, but cant imagine fanging around a track in it!! :D

Love the R1 mate! I've got a big HP R33 and also a R1 and I must say the R1 gives me more of a thrill than the Skyline.. Will have to be a serious R32 to out do your R1! Good luck with the sale :)

if your planning on building a car for superlap... then why cant you still hang on to the r1?? as far as superlap cars go... $11000 is small change. one day, maybe a year or so from now, you'll want to take it out for a fang, and there it will be, in its capsule type cover, just waiting.. its not worth selling unless you really have to.. im guessing youve spent close to what you want for it on the parts alone.

people pay more for art, that just hangs on the wall and does sweet f/a, that thing is both art, and exciting

id pay $11000 just to have it in the garage, sitting on pit stands.

Problem is I have too much stuff! Due to starting a family I went out and have just bought a 2005 3.0 R Spec B Liberty Wagon. Its an awesome car, but I am now stretched out to pay it off. I also have a 1967 300SEL with a RB30 Turbo motor in it. Great fun, cool as car, but of course it soaks the cash as well!! So the only way I can play with a new toy (like a superlap car) is to exchange my bike to do it. Whether I sell it or trade it for something doesnt matter. So now I have my partners old car to sell, and my R1. $11,000 you say? Id take that for sure.

Hey bro, have sent you a PM - interested in talking more about the swap.....

Hey mate, cheers for the offer. Was really looking for a R32. I tried to reply but I am new here and havent posted 10 times yet! Will keep the offer in mind tho. Thanks.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
