1990 R32 Gt-r

[RyleyMA61]

Dad and I have another car we need to buy, and unfortunately, the loveable GTR is lookinhg for a new home.

I know the bad reputation the R32 GTR has, and this was taken into account when we bought it nearly 3 years ago (We drove over 15 I reckon haha). I am also aware the odometer wind back many imports are subject to, and cannot confirm about this car, but the odo kms seem consistent with the condition of the vehicle. It has never given us any issues and the slightest hint of someting wrong (ie clutch slipping) and it was fixed. All the modifications were on the car when we bought it.

1990 Skyline GT-R

Midnight blue

17x9" BBS LM wheels

3.5" R*SR Catback (Sounds great, not drony at all on the highway, aggresive note under acceleration)

HKS Hardpipes

Greddy Boost Gauge

Front strut brace

Mines ECU (ie runs richer than stock)

120xxx km

Factory Airbox

Pros:

Runs, drives, feels exactly like an original GT-R.

First owner in AU - Timing belt and water pumps done at 80,000km. We bought at 98,000km. Fixed all the little and surprise issues, then enjoyed it.

Blows no smoke, ever. Sometimes runs a little rich in high rpm due to Mines ECU.

Never overevved - heard of the dislike for oil to drain back to the block from the head, and plus, it runs out of puff about 7000rpm anyway.

TEIN street front coilovers- Fully rebuilt and revalved

Fastidiously maintained every 5000kms using 5W-30 Full synthetic oil

Redline oils in gearbox, attessa system and Hicas system. All bled an maintained correctly.

Never overboosted. Runs lower than factory boost- never intended on going near 1 bar when the ceramic turbos scream NEIN

Interior immaculate aside from one pea sized tear in drivers seat and slight bubble in dash.

Virtually new Exedy Cushioned button clutch

No Hicas issues

No attessa issues

...No issues at all actually. Biggest ones were clutch was DOA and the Coilovers needed rebuilding, and all this wasn't cheap.

Cons:

Original grille has been modified into a one piece strange shape. Looks a little odd. (Can supply stock replacment for $110)

Front bumper paint has one slight crack in it down near the lower lip.

Paint on roof beginning to show slight discolouring.

Original steering wheel leather worn.

Factory boost solenoid doesn't work - runs 5psi standard, currently at 9psi via bleed valve. (handy for engine longevity!)

Overall the car looks stunning, with some very minor exterior blemishes consistent with the age and km of the car.

More awesome photos available on request.

Hoping for $19,500 ono, because it's not a flogged-out, irresponsibly modified or mystery-history GTR.

Trying to place it price-wise between a fresh import (which it was when we bought it, fixed the annoying/expensive shit, made sure it wasn't going to die etc) and the 100% standard immaculate ones. Comes with RWC and rego til June/Julyish next year.

Dad drove it 80% of the time and it's always cleaned, maintained and babied. Is an astonishing car to drive, but he's bought another car and doesn't need it anymore .

Any questions please sing out. Really is a lovely car. Only selling to to try and buy a particular car, otherwise I will keep it.

Getting some nicer photos when global warming returns to sunny Ballarat.

Cheers mate, I plan to once the weather gets better. Found a really good spot for photos of the Supra, and need some ones of the GTR too For both here and for a big printout on my wall

[RyleyMA61]

OK, ventured out to my favourite photo road today to get some nicer pictures. Camera ran out of battery so missed a few arty rear-end shots, but you get the idea.

Also forgot about a big nasty stone chip on the front, so snapped a picture of it. Also replaced the in-dash headlight switch (was faulty) with a new one(was expensive, but you need lights) and have converted the main globes from H3Cs to H3s, and it runs power power Narva globes in it. (Not the wanky blue-look ones, the ones that give the highest luminosity without going HID)

Driving it makes me want to keep it It's quite pleasant around town, somewhat subdued, but happy to rev if you want to give it a squirt, and still corners like it's on rails.

(It isn't actually quite that discoloured either, dunno WTF is going on with the photo)

Also should mention that the last service was done by myself (I check everything out while I'm down there) and prior to that all work/servicing was done by Pete Corcoran, ex STi Docklands foreman, ex Russell Ingall and Larry Perkins V8 supercar mechanic. He was quite surprised by the originality of the car both inside and out

Any questions sing out

[RyleyMA61]

Price drop 18,500 ono

also on ebay!

[RyleyMA61]

Woah, had forgotten about this.

Price drop, Dad really needs this poor thing gone It's sitting in the shed doing nothing. I drove it for a few weeks and it made it very hard to sell it.

Now asking $16500 with Rego and RWC. Please no ridiculous offers, its a very straight car with no issues. Cheaper if you don't want RWC or Rego. (Should pass RWC easily though, nothing wrong with it)

Email me at [email protected] or Dad [email protected] or ring Dad 03 53344351.

I'm in Bendigo during the week for work so Dad's your best bet if you want to check it out.. If need be I can bring the car up to Bendigo if it's easier to look at it here, but will have to get it from Ballarat on a weekend.

Any questions please sing out. Sad to see it go

EDIT: Forgot to add:

-The factory boost solenoid was stuck on 5psi. Disconnected it and runs a bleed valve at 9psi to prevent any overboost mishaps.

- The heater flap motor died. Put a new one in, climate control functions good as gold. AC works great, as does heater.

Thanks

Thanks for the offer "The Dez" but may have to decline . The major reason we are selling is that unfortuanley the GTR is just not getting used and it really is a great car.
