R32 Gtst 2Dr White

[debonaire]

So I was just about to get a new car and put the skyline up for sale when the head gasket blew, so wondering if anyone is interested in taking it as is? Would be suitable for RB25 upgrade or anyone who has the time and space to work on it themselves. Car is in Brisbane, currently sitting at Mercury Motorsport. I can send pics if anyone is actually interested.

Details:1989 HCR32, 2dr coupe, white.

About 160,000km.

Sunroof

Antilock Brakes

Exterior:White multispoke Sparco 16" rims, front tyres are about a month old (Toyo). Rears are older but still deep tread.

The usual looking Type-M-Spec side skirts and spoiler, paint in fair condition for over 20 year old. Dark tint.

Mods:ARC FMIC, Turbotech boost controller, JJR split dump pipe, X-force Cat, Kakimoto cat-back.

Was making 162kW with Nistune.

Interior:Retrimmed steering wheel about 1 year ago. Replaced gear and brake boots. Black Nismo knob. Boost gauge in drivers air vent. Pioneer CD player with audio jack.

Things done recently:

Air con serviced this year; coil packs are a couple of years old; rocker cover, exhaust and turbo gaskets all just replaced, shocks were replaced when I bought it in 2007.

Hoping to get a few grand for it if anyone is interested before I have to look at putting a new engine in to sell it.

Any recommendations on a parts/wrecker/wholesaler that pays decently for such cars is welcome.

Hey im interested in the 32.

I dont mean to be rude but i live in adelaide and if i was to pick it up and go through all the regency crap it will cost a bit of coin.

But would you be willing to let it go for $1500 and ill take it off your hands.

Hey Oscar, thanks for your reply and certainly no rudeness in your offer, its good to have at least some indication of interest.

I think I'd really need to get closer to $3000 or it would be more worthwhile putting an engine in an selling it based on initial cost estimates, but I will get back to you if things change.

Here is an old picture that I've been able to pull off facebook:

[adamskill]

have you spoken to trent about putting a new engine in it?

did he quote you a price?

[debonaire]

Yeah we discussed RB20 and Rb25 with very rough estimates, I'm still undecided but thought as a first step I'd get an idea of any interest on here selling as is. Are you interested out of curiosity or potentially buying it and getting it done?

Also, in case I overestimated the intelligence of people on here, or they can't read the first post - the head gasket has blown, which is a bad thing. The car is not drivable unless you want to further destroy the engine, and will require either a new engine or significant work done to replace and recondition the current engine. If this is not apparent to you, then this is not the car for you.

If you understand this and wish to purchase the car, grow some balls and make an offer like our South Aussie friend above. If you ask what my best price is, you won't get a reply.

I brought some recent photos from home but my work computer doesn't want to read the hard drive so will post them from home.

Yeah June QLD rego

Hey all,

Sorry for the delay in pictures, here is a selection of the surprisingly few photos it turns out I have. Note this is prior to FMIC install which is fairly subtle but required some cutting of the bumper (i.e eliminating the vertical section and trimming of the lower horizontal part).

One other thing I realised has been done in the last few months is top and bottom radiator hoses have been replaced, also rego is QLD til July 29.

Edit: Also forgot - has Exedy heavy duty clutch, 2-way pager alarm.

I will be negotiating a new car tomorrow, and will (hopefully) make a decision on what to do with the car thereafter. FYI, current offer under consideration is $2900.

hey mate, cheers for the reply!

i have been a very regular customer at mercury for a long time, so the idea had occurred to me to buy your car and negotiate throwing a 25 into it.

pm me if you wish to discuss anythin mate, it'll keep ya for sale thread nice and clean!

cheers adam

Currently have an offer that I will proceed with pending confirmation of stock availability of a new car and finalising inspection/arrangements with the buyer.

I will confirm if sale is final, but no new offers at this stage please.
