R32 GTR with damaged engine

[HIRISK]

Hi guys,

Unfortunately I have had an electronic failure within my car, I believe it was one of the Airflow meters, which has caused pistons 4,5 and 6 to lean out and die.

This is due to the fact that the standard computer runs the motor as two bank of 3 cylinders and each A/F meter controls one bank of 3 cylinders each.

Unfortunately I can't afford the rebuild and am looking at having a break from cars for a while.

I am the only owner this car has had in Australia since it's purchase in September last year. When I bought the car it was in completely standard and original condition. It has always been garaged and I have always taken great care of her.

Details:

10/92 Build.

White in colour.

75,000 k's.

Serviced every 5,000k's using full synthetic oil.

Just had Front Diff, Rear Diff, Gearbox and Transfer case fluids changed and also had the 4WD system bled.

Mods:

Koni adjustable shocks (1 week old)

Eibach Springs (1 week old)

Trust MX front pipes (1 month old).

Hi Flow 3" cat (1 month old).

HKS Hiper cat back exhaust (brand new).

HKS Cam Gears (1 month old).

Trust Airinx Filter Kit.

Trust Alloy Gear knob.

Trust Alloy Oil Filler Cap.

Trust Alloy Radiator Cap.

Trust White Faced Boost Gauge.

Ultra Turbo Timer.

Original Nismo N1 Intercooler Vents (not fitted yet)

Exxedy Deiken Heavy Duty 3 Puck Single Plate Clutch (8 months old).

EBC Green Stuff Front pads (3 months old).

EBC Brake Fluid - Full Flush (3 months old).

New Front Bushes.

The car was dynoed recently on a Dyno Dynamics rear wheel drive dyno (Race Pace Motorsport) and achieved 240rwkw.

I ran it at Heathcote and managed an 11.57 @ 118mph down the quarter.

I still have all the original parts including Exhaust, Airbox etc. and would consider selling it in standard form if necessary. If bought as is you will get all the standard parts too.

If you are prepared to spend the money to rebuild the car properley, it will be very fast and reliable. I can put you in touch with a very reputable engine builder for this job.

I am looking for interest around the $29,500 mark, please ring me to discuss this if you are interested.

Any reasonable offer considered

Thanks,

Shaun.

How far can the standard GTR be pushed? What are its limitations?

Who removed my post. I was serious, my 180 has over $20000 worth of engine mods.

yes whats going on

[ice180]

I can't really afford the rebuild and would like a break from the car scene for a while.

If anyone is interested in the car, I can also source them a set of low kilometer, good condition HKS GT2530's at a good price.

These would be perfect to bolt to the side of a freshly built RB26.

hi Shaunny,

how r u mate!!?? haven't spoken to you for such a long time.

what?? you're selling your gtr too.. that's so sad

anyway, we gotta catch up one day (maybe after my freaking assignments).

[fatz]

how much for the 2530's m8

Any offers??

I am flexible with the price.

I can organise a full rebuild with oversized pistons etc. for around the $4,000 to $5,000 mark. Once rebuilt you will end up with a very fast and very reliable car for a very reasonable price.

OK Guys,

Here's the deal. I am going to give it until next weekend to try and sell the car as it is.

If I still have had no luck by then, I will be putting a new motor in it and selling it as an 11 second GTR, running and complete.

For anyone that is looking at buying the car as it is, I can help them get it back up and running or you can take care of this your self.

I can suggest a couple of options for anyone who may be interested in the car but is unsure of the cost involved in getting it on the road again.

OPTION 1 (used engine):

I can get you in touch with someone who has a used RB26 in good condition for $5,000. You can put this motor in the car and then sell the damaged RB26 that comes out of it.

OPTION 2 (rebuilt engine):

I spoke with SUBZERO in Queensland and they will do a swap on the damaged RB26 for a freshly rebuilt RB26 for $5,500. The new engine is an R33 RB26 fully rebuilt with all new parts, including Racing Spec Rings and Bearings.

I am preppared to sell the car as it is with the damaged engine for $28,000 FIRM or I can take all the aftermarket parts off the car and return it to stock standard form and then I would want $25,000 FIRM.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Shaun,

Just a word of warning useing R33 engine in R32 GTR.

If only it was that easy, i thought oh year stuff all difference but even things like the heater return hoses have different sizes, not to mention the issues with power steer pumps etc.

Sure it can be done no worries, just may take a bit longer than you expect, best way is get an R33 long motor and bolt up all the accessorys off r32 motor and then i think its only 1 or 2 things that cause any problems.

Thanks for the advice Evan.

I spoke to Subzero about this and they also know of this. They actually use all my bits and piecs and bolt them all up to the R33 Block and Head.

Thanks,

Shaun.
