hey guys, just moved to Sydney from Townsville, still in a motel actually. lol

Anyway, when the car removal guys took the 32 off the truck at the Townsville depot, they ripped one of the freshly painted sideskirts off, so now we are waiting for that to be fixed and sent down.

@DR 32R - Rear quarters came out fine man, rubbed them right down and reprimered and painted.

  • 8 months later...

If anyone is interested in buying this 32, throw me an offer as its just sitting in my garage gathering dust, just needs camber arms, coilovers and hicas lock bar to be installed (hicas kit will be included in sale)

there is slight cracks in the paint in some parts of the joins of the rear guards.

all offers welcome.

can be sold with or without wheels

no reg or rwc

ok if nobody wants to buy, can everyone just put in your 2 bob to what you think it is worth.

after you spend so much money on a project, its hard to put a figure to it when selling.

so lost interest or had enough of trying to build a car?

to be honest take what you have put into it and write that off. you will get what you paid for it pretty much. everyone sees these cars as old drift hacks now.

in my case I do not intend to sell mine. I am at $20k in bits and still going. would I get that back IF I sold it in pristine new condition. nup.

Yeah i have written off what i put into it. ($15k)

Just trying to find out what people would pay for it.

and yeah, I dont have enough time to finish it because of my work and i've moved into a smaller house so no room for a trailer.

I'm currently in Afghanistan so nothing is happening with it at all.

thought work may have something to do with it.

I keep mine elsewhere and when I have funds and money I work on it.

My daughter has an interest in it as well as it is her first car and she knows it.

advertise it for what you paid. chalk it up as lesson learned.

Well... 10 years later its a completely different world but I'm going to look at a 180sx today.
Hopefully I do better than the R32 and finish this one.

I ended up selling the R32 for $3,500 in 2013. Ouch.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
