I Am Looking At Buying Another R32Gtr, Located In Vic


Recommended Posts

hi guys,

i live in sydney & i am interested in an r32gtr which is in vic.

my mate who lives in vic has looked at it & says its a good car, however, i want to organise an inspection to make sure that it has not had a rollcage in the past, there is no accident damage & that the suspension/bushes are not showing any signs of circuit abuse in its previous life when in japan.

which workshop is recommended near the cbd (hopefully within 30min drive) who can look at it on a hoist?

ive been quoted $200 which i thought sound a bit rich!? maybe im wrong :)

regards

Within 30 mins of CBD...

Chasers Motorworks in Footscray.

RE Customs in Springvale.

Protek in Preston.

There are others, can't remember...

$200 for workshop inspection? Sounds right.

I think even the RACV vehicle checks are about $200. I would prefer a GTR specialist at least that way they know what to check.

fair point - have u guys heard of 'NuNismo'? are they reputable gtr specialists?

Sounds like the old "Nisma" workshop re-badged, somewhere that is most certainly not reputable.

Honestly you are better off paying for a full Racepace inspection.

Get it comp tested as well etc etc. Bit of a effort but its either 20-30k or $500

I recently had a full stateroads inspection for a NSW car, best $300 i'd spent as it stopped me from buying it and wasting my cash.

i recently did the same when dan @ elite racing development in qld inspected a car for me - it was a moneypit which could not be seen without a hoist

^ they dont have a serious website to match though lol

that is true. last time i was there a couple weeks back they had a few of the Vodka O cars (rebuilding the Mossler, Audi R8, and a couple of the Gallardo cars too). The time before that they had 3 r32 GTR's all fully caged race prepped machines, and some wicked looking time attack/GT looking Evo 6. So dont be discouraged by the lack of info in the website. It cant hurt to give them a call. Cheers

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
