Congrats on the purchase! Seems the flipping has occurred twice now with Shannons cars (if you count the one on carsales now from the trio that were sold).

Also your car was originally listed at 85k as OZGTR when first sold so you are still ahead :)

Guys got a question about  the adm plate under the hood, could it be wrong as there is something up with my engine number.

Block number matches the vehicle warranty and owner  identification copy. But on the aussie vin plate the engine number has a 3 instead of a 9. Rest of the numbers match

Ok, please be a bit more specific......

My Nissan Tag, block and my engine number in the owner's manual are all the same per attached photos.

What does yours say?

My engine number matches the owner identification copy but not the vin plate. Only one number different

Hi All

I am going to sell #56 as it is not used anymore. Very good condition, just a few stone chips. 140k's. Every thing works, even the cassette deck. Thought you guys might like first go. I'm thinking $120k but if someone waved cash at me (as in $100 notes) I would consider a 10% discount.

Regards

John

Hi John,

I was only thinking of you the other day.... This poor old forum is like a ghost town now.

Everybody is now on the R32 GT-R Facebook page.

I'm a bit saddened to see you will be putting her up for sale but certainly understand where you are coming from.

Mine's been unregistered for over 5 years and been in storage since last year. Out of sight, out of mind.

Anyway, good luck with the sale but I suspect your best bet will be Carsales.

Cheers....... Bob.

Hi Bob

Good to hear from you. I think your right about facebook but at 75 years I'm not really into that. No hurry for a sale but would like it to be appreciated by someone. Not getting completely out, still got the r30 which goes far too fast for my reflexes.

Cheers  

John

Hi Greg

Afraid it may disappoint. It has a couple of 6 cyl motors, two and three liter, several gearboxes, 911 brakes, Toyota steering, bits of R33 front end. Only used for sport so no trim etc. Good fun though.

I'm jealous of your 1600. Was trying to buy one when the 30 came along as a wreck.

Sorry John, don't get on here much! I'm not fussy about what is under the skin, in fact i love modifying. As long as the mods are executed well and improve the car then I say go for it. My biggest issue with my R32 is that I can't modify it! I think the people who have owned and put their mark on a car through it's life are as much a part of the cars story as the people who put it together at the factory. Most don't agree though looking at values of original, documented vehicles vs the modified versions. 

 I bought my 1600 back in 1990 as a body and parts from an engine builder who worked at HRT and then went on to work in F1 with the Arrows team. He had started to prep the car for the track but found HRT took up prety much all of his time. Not sure where he ended up. I rebuilt it back then - it's now about 30%1600 - the rest is 240K, DR30, 180B, 260Z, Hilux, R31 - even Pulsar! Mostly brand faithful, but most of the 1600 bits are gone..

I'm now giving her a refresh, fixing up the awful job I did back in the early 90's! 

But hang on this is all about ADM R32's. Did you sell your Silver car? Market was looking pretty good last time I paid attention.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
