Hi all,

I have had some extremely bad luck and am now looking at my options and would like expressions of interest / offers.

My R32 GTR which has had thousands of dollars spent on it has developed a crack in the engine block :(

The car was running perfect up until recently where I had the head pulled off to check for a suspected head gasket issue to find that the engine block has a split in it :( The motor was pulled apart by Racepace.

There a four options I'm looking at:

1 - Sell the car as is. The engine has been removed and stripped down. I have sourced a new engine block to do a full swap over of all engine parts. I have been quoted $4300 to rebuild the motor as it was. This option would suit someone who is extremely picky wants a dead clean car with a freshly rebuilt motor or has a driveline available from a smashed car?

2 - Sell the car as a stock GTR. Strip the car of all its mods (sell all aftermarket mods i.e. turbos, wheels, brakes etc). Sell the car with stock rb26dett or as a complete car less motor.

3 - Strip the whole car down. Fully Strip car i.e. parts/panels etc.

4 - Keep the car and let it sit there until I have funds to fix.

Before the issue I was chasing $33,000. As said im looking for offers I would rather sell the car as a whole to someone who will get it back on the road as it truly is an amazing car. Still currently registered, basically all it needs is the motor back in it.

If you are interested please contact me immediately as I would like to make a decision with this ASAP.

Its a great looking car and very nice mods, very unfortunate to hear about the engine woes mate.

Hopefully something comes out of it for you whichever path you go down

Sympathy Bump

Thats fair enough If i dont get a decent offer I will just strip it or let it sit there.

As I said its perfect for someone who wants a clean GTR with all supporting mods and a FRESH motor. OR Someone who has a motor available but no car.

    • Poor bleeding. That stupid damping loop in the plumbing that should be completely replaced with a braided hose. Just the first 2 that come to mind.
    • Forgive the potentially silly question but are the vents for bay temps? I've been toying with how to reduce my bay temps because man, it gets HOT in there and a small subtle vent somewhere I think might help. Or, maybe they're to assist with just the intake temps? 
    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
