For sale is my 1989 R32 Gtr rolling shell.

I bought the car in mid 2006 from a forum user in Newcastle and i was going to turn it into a street/drag car, however the project has since been canned and it's up for sale.

The engine bay has been painted in a custom purple pearl mix. Every nut/bolt was replaced with stainless. The interior has been completely stripped, all the sound deadening material removed and the floor cleaned.

The boot and rear firewall have been modified as per the pics below. I had the boot setup to take a 20gal RCI fuel cell, 3gal peterson dry sump tank, a nitrous system and a custom fuel system. The rear firewall was completely removed and a new stronger section put in. With the new firewall, i had it made rearward of the shockie towers to allow the rollcage much easier placement. With the boot modifications, the rear boot hinge components have been removed, so pins/locks will need to be installed to mount the boot. This new work has a coat of yellow (now black) killrust sprayed over the top so it doesn't rust. All this work has been done in accordance with an engineer so the car can still be street registered.

All of the glass/windows were removed in anticipation of getting a roll cage fitted. I still have all the framework and glass etc to go with the car. (can be put back in for $300)

The car has also had the battery relocated to the boot. It's also got a lockbar installed and the complete hicas system has been removed. The std fuel lines were removed and there's currently a single -8 alloy fuel line under the car. It's also go a new set of nismo braided brake lines front and rear. I had the wheels refurbed (lips machined and 2 repainted) at Wheel Revolution in slacks creek around 2yrs ago aswell, tyres are junkers just on there to move around.

The body on the car is pristine minus the odd little scratch on the front quarter panels & a bit of white paint? on the passenger front guard above the wheel arch (stinking workshops). There are a few spots on the floorpan that have some rust but can be easily cutout and replaced.

It comes complete with all the drivetrain (minus gearbox). Full interior minus front seats and aircon. Parts missing to finish it/get it running are listed below.

The car is complete minus the following:

- Complete engine

- Gearbox

- Radiator

- Intercooler

- Front bar

- Bonnet

- Front seats

- Air conditioning/heater (dash harness has also had the aircon wires removed)

- Abs (new front lines have been made but will need to be remade in stainless)

- Fuel system

- Clutch line

- Plus any other little things i've forgotten

Price $3500ono. The car is located in Ipswich, Qld.

    • Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.  
    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup
