Hey guys, not sure if this should be in this thread of the whole car forum but im parting ways with my 1989 r32 gts-t with s2 rb25det. The rb25det conversion was done approx 2 years ago, and was a full conversion inc gearbox.

I have owned the car for the past 6 years after importing it myself and having graduated uni im about to move for work so its time to part ways. Car would be perfect for either an enthusiast willing to put some work into it or alternatively as a running wreck. The car is still registered until June and running so you are welcome to come out and see the engine/gearbox in running condition. The primary reason for selling as a wreck rather than registered is that im rather busy at the moment so I do not have the time/energy to get the car a road worthy however im comfortable if the buyer wishes to do this themselves while the car is still registered to save hassle.

Notable specs of the car are:

185,500 k's (64,000 on the series 2 rb25det)

rb25 gearbox and running gear (when the conversion was done, all mounts was custom fabricated so this would suit either an r32 with the mounts provided or an r33 with your own mounts)

Recently replaced high flow radiator (purchased from one of the SAU group buys)

Recently replaced bosch fuel pump

Apexi turbo timer

HKS boost gauge

Momo steering wheel

17" rims

Things that require work is the body. There is a dint about the size of a 50c peice in the rear near the tail lights, along with a dint in the drivers side door where a trolley has hit the car. The car could generally use a paint job also and a few of the seals are starting to wear/peal due to age. There is also a dint in the passenger side front quarter however replacement guards will be provided so that shouldnt be an issue.

There is honestly alot of other extra's (skirts, stainless dump pipe, high flow exhaust eg), i'm currently in a flood effected area of South East Qld (although the car is safe!) and as soon as the flood water resides I will go out and photograph everything.

Asking $7,000 as an unregistered rolling wreck but as I said im happy to help the buyer out if they wish to get a roadworthy to keep the car registered. As I also mentioned im not thrilled on separating items of the car at this stage but if a few different guys are interested in taking different parts (i.e someone wants shell, another engine and gearbox) im happy enough to do that.

Hey guys, FINALLY have some pictures up. I've highlighted the notable damage to the body being the front left guard and the rear right corner. I have a set of fibreglass vented front guards that I paid $450 for about a year ago that I am happy to include in the sale to be used to replace the front guards.

Any other questions either pm or for a faster reply text on 0409 055 258

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
