> Rb25 R32. Basic Mods $6750, Top End Just Just Overhauled

[vitz_n1]

Im going back overseas in a few weeks so need to sell my car.

So i had this car for sale about 9 months ago but it didn't sell before i left overseas. Im now back for a short period and need to sell it. I had it for sale for $8500 last time and had 3 offers. 2 of $8000 and 1 of $7750.

Its now been sitting in the garage for 9 months being started every 1 - 2 weeks to keep her fresh. So based on this i am fairly firm on this price of $6750 so please no low balling.

Car is a Wine red R32 with RB25 conversion. Motor has 80 000 km on the clock. Chassis has 150 000 from memory... ill have to confirm that. Also has 12 months rego on it.

The good

Recently the tensioner let go and my valves bent. When replacing them i decided to clean up the whole top end to had all manufacturing imperfections clean up on the head. Also has new head gasket and head surfaced, valves and stem seals, tensioner and idler pulley. Also new exhaust and inlet mani gasket..... so head is pretty much as good as new.

Anyway so car has RB25 conversion.

Still has RB20 g/box.

Mods

Buddy club N+ coilovers all round - Awesome suspension BTW, by far the best ive driven on in its price range.

Greddy type m front mount

3" exhaust turbo back

Exedy heavy duty organic clutch

Few things inside, trust gear knob, omori din gauges.

Bosch 040 fuel pump

unknown aftermarket rear camber arms

Rear spoiler off hole filled and resprayed

32 gtr rear wheels

Turbo smart plumback BOV

What i'd suggest doing

Some of these may well get done if i can find time before i go:

Left rear wheel bearing to be replaced... i have bearing unit sitting in my bedroom, just gotta get out the and change over.

Left rear camber to be adjusted more + or right more - as they are uneven and pulls to the left..... so basically needs a wheel alignment.

It is running rather rich on standard ECU and pops and farts a bit on de-acceleration and dumping a bit too much fuel when it comes on boost, so i'd at-least get a piggy back tune.

Has a dint about the size of a 5c coin on the boot lid, not very deep at all. also a chip about 2mm in diameter on rear quater panel also another small dint on roof. Other than that body is straight.

*** Please note *** I have had the engineering check done for the car and paid half of the fee ($250) there are a couple of small things required for the cert plus the remaining $250. I would allow $1000 to have the car engineered. If you can do mechanical work yourself then maybe a little less. That also includes the cost of the certificate.

So thats all i can think of at the moment. I've tried to explain everything i can think of.

Honestly, this car has been very well looked after. Its rarely driven and serviced regularly with mobil 1.

Id really love to spend a month or so getting it to where i want for sale but i simply dont have time.

Price is $6750.

Is it running rb25 ECU?

What else is needed to pass the eng. certification?

Im assuming for RWC it will need the wheel bearing, raising it a little and usual checkover.

[vitz_n1]

The biggest pain for eng cert is it needs side intrusion bars for the doors. I'm looking around for some now. I was just gonna put some on, get the cert, swap them back then re-sell the doors.

Anyway so side intrusion bars, side indicators, tyre placard, baby restraint, noise level test.

For RWC it will be fine. Ride height is actually legal. The exhaust tucks up nice, looks a lower than it is.

I guess wheel bearing would need to be done.

[StuC]

so the car has never been complianced in Australia then as it should have had side intrusions put in and baby restraint fitted to get into the country under either RAWS, SEVS or 15 year rule.

[vitz_n1]

I thought that may have been the next question. Sorry should have cleared that up in previous post.

The previous owner used this as a track car. He changed the doors to ones without side intrusion for weight reduction. Also had interior stripped etc...

So i bought it with RB20 and replaced all the interior and bits he had taken off.... besides the doors. At that stage i wasn't thinking of doing the conversion, nor did i realise it was necessary for engineering.

As for the child restraints....i dont know...maybe he thought it looked a bit silly and took it off... i probably would have done the same

Also, yes it is running standard R33 ECU.

If anyone needs re-assurance i can take a photo of the cpmpliance plates on the car and post them up.

cool i thought that may have been the case. Any chance of getting some photos of the chassis rails as well as the compliance plate?

Thanks man

[vitz_n1]

Ok. Photo album has been updated with those photos. Let me know if you need more. They probably aren't the best but i hope that gives you the idea.

[StuC]

Thanks for that mate - rails look nice and straight. Now, just need to go talk to the minister of finance.....

[vitz_n1]

Haha no prob. My number is there if you have any more questions don't hesitate to call.

[vitz_n1]

**Update** Just serviced her today. New oil and filter, tran fluid, spark plugs, checked timing and compression.

Compression results were 158 158 161 156 160 158, that was with throttle closed, so i was very pleased with these results.

With the timing belt, tensioner, idler pulley, head gasket, exhaust and inlet gasket, valves and seals all replaced she sure is nice and fresh.

Running beautifully!

Also put a new battery and reco'd alternator in as the batt light was starting to come on intermittently and battery draining. All fixed now.

Tyre placard is now done and i bought the side indicators, ill try fond time to wire them up tomorrow.

[vitz_n1]

Offers? Anyone interested if I get her engineered?

[vitz_n1]

bump - open to reasonable offers

[jonesl]

this is cheap as f*k. if i could sell my car i would by this

cant believe its not sold

free bump

[vitz_n1]

Thanks mate.

I thought the price was cheap as well. I had heaps more interest 9 months ago when the I was asking $1250 more.

Possibly the price is leading people to believe the car is in bad condition or something wrong with it. I can assure everyone this is not the case and i just need to sell her!

[JiN_MaN]

I think the market is just very slow at the moment. Looks in good condition.

[Ripp3r]

does look very clean..

JiN_MaN: think regency would believe you if you swapped the doors with black 32doors that have intrusion bars? and say you bought it like that ect

[JiN_MaN]

What makes you think it doesn't already have them?

*vitz_n1* Hope you dont mind, at least we are keeping your thread at the top

[vitz_n1]

No problem jinman.

I mentioned earlier it needed intrusion bars. Thats how he knows.

Anyway, looks like ill be in town for a month longer than expected so it'll be for sale for a few more weeks.

[vitz_n1]

Bump.
