What: 1992 R32 Gtst (Manual)

Where: Brisbane

How Much: $7250ono

Info:

1992 R32 Gtst – Manual, factory turbo – Originally auto but has been converted at some stage throughout its life. Has been fitted with a high flow turbo using rb25 housings (see turbo photos for housing numbers).

I have spent a great deal of time tracking down factory recirc lines, air box, bov ect. Everything is now back to factory – No idle issues that skylines suffer when this has been removed, no idle drop pulling up to traffic lights ect. Air con (everything) has been removed, still has a working heater.

AFM has been replaced (receipts provided to buyer).

3inch cat back exhaust and a GFB T Peace boost controller (currently still on stock) and a huge thermo fan – Performance wise everything else is as per factory.

Basic Tein coilovers, they are what they are, Option1 90% shimmed diff, Option1 caster rods, R33 Gtst rims with 80% tread left. Sound system is what you would call basic.. No rear speakers, aftermarket door speakers of some kind, plus a basic MP3 player head unit.

I have not washed or cleaned this car in nearly 5 months, nor do I plan to for inspections. This R32 is what it is. It is not a show car, it is un-tidy. It has been a daily driver that gets thrown around from time to time. In saying that the car is uber reliable and cracks a mean flame :happy:

Bad points:

Who knows what the true kays are. The cluster has been changed – it reads 45,000kms, which is obviously so far from the truth it’s not funny. Steering wheel is a wrecker replacement, wear is not indicative of true kays, however general condition of the car would suggest over 150,000kms

Some clown at one stage made an attempt to break into the car via the sunroof, the mounting pegs (little legs from roof glass to rail) were broken. Although the sunroof could still be operational, as the pegs were broken I have sealed up the roof with “sickaflex”.

No the roof didn’t leak, yes like all sunroof R32’s is smelt like a wet dog when it rained. As the roof is now sealed it does not weep or smell when wet. This can be removed and if you replaced the broken pegs/legs so you could have a working sunroof.

Like all R32’s the left hand side air con vent is missing, the gear stick boot is also not in the car. I have the leather section but I am just missing the plastic section to hold it in, door speaker covers are also missing (might be in a box, if they are you can have them). Most of the boot trim is not in the car, what I have of it, will be included.

The body speaks for its self, car park dings and markings – It’s a daily. Guards have been rolled and mildly pulled to accommodate 18x11inch wheels, which are not included in the sale. Guards obviously show signs of wear and tear due to the mild pull.

Overall the car is a fun little unit that is easy and enjoyable to throw around. It’s un-tidy but reliable.

Not really interested in swaps and I’m well aware of what Skylines are bought and sold for, so hilarious low balls will be ignored. Happy trolling :mad:

    • Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate 
    • 😂 thanks guys. The diagram i had did not have the breather on it at all. Much appreciated.  
    • Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.
    • Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
