What: 89 R32 GTR

Location: Brisbane

KMs: 86xxx

Contact: Paul 0411 870 159 or through here.

Dollars: 15k. (Few recent invoices - 6.5k for hp, 2.5k suspension, 3k wheels/tyres, etc - it's all done) Going back to an NA cheapie for mobile business. (May look at trades + cash)

At a glance: Just gave it a full gonig over so it's exactly how I want it, stops - goes - and handles properly. Probably only 2000km on everything. 350awhp (fresh tune on 4WD dyno) Vipec ECU, twin plate clutch (very easy to use), fresh brakes, N1 turbos, Bilsteins/full Whiteline setup, 17x9.5 Origin wheels, etc. Did timing belt/idlers/water pump/100k service while it was all happening. Factory wing + a sub/amp comes with the car.

Condition: She's not about to win any shows, but you can get straight in and go for it. This is for the person who values performance and setup.

I built this as a tough do-it-all street car, but running my own mobile business = time for another boring car. Does daily duties with ease. Had a minor nudge on the left side, wheel alignment was not affected. Pics show the action. Just a bit of lovin on the 1/4's and left edge of rear bar. Been like that for a bit, doesn't bother me, but priced to take this into account. Has since had another wheel alignment to fine tune front end settings. Few little things done recently like tie rod end/rack end/rack boots.

Pre-existing parts are noted, everything else has just been put on within the last couple of thousand kms.

If doing a trade + cash would want at least 10k cash, just getting an NA cheapie.

If doing a trade + cash would want at least 10k cash, just getting an NA cheapie.
would you consider a r33 NA (few mods) plus about 6K cash?

I would consider an NA 33, but I plan on spending 5k or less on a work car, hence the requirement of 10k cash if doing a swap. I'd prefer a straight out sale, but swap + cash can be very convenient for both parties.

Car also has an alloy radiator + silicone hoses

How much damage is done to the panels?

Can you get a quote on fixing the damage?

Damage is shown in the pics and described in the first post, it didn't even change the wheel alignment so it was pretty minor. - Going in for a quote at a proper panel shop on Friday, I'll let you know.

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
