Hello,

I've decided it's time to sell my 1989 R32 GTS4t. I imported it myself back around late 2004, have been the only owner since. It has been sitting around for most of the time I have had it, as 12 months after I imported it I got a motorcycle and that was pretty much the end of the car's use. It had been deregistered for a number of years, until recently I had it registered for only six months while my motorcycle had been stolen and recently recovered, now it is' deregistered again.

It's quite a 'normal' car, it had been my daily driver so ride height and exhaust loudness is all normal. At the end of it's use before I got the motorcycle, it had gone over the Pits and passed. I hadn't modified it since.

the good,

- turbo back exhaust (downpipe and cat was bought new off this forum long time ago)

- exceedy heavy duty clutch (put in at ABS slacks creek, again a 'deal' from a fella on this forum that worked there..)

- GTR front suspension, have the rears to go in also

- interior is complete, even with skyline floor mats. although, time has taken its toll on it here and there

- sun roof - mechanicals work though needs a helping push to get it moved. switch could do with a clean i think too.

- generic ebay brand FMIC

- comes with RCA and power wiring for subs in the boot (parcel shelf speakers in the pics have been taken out also). has my kenwood headunit in it still.

- greedy boost gauge

- some turbo time. all hooked up expect the bit that keeps the car running. has voltmeter, set minutes and an auto count depending how long you're revving it high

- comes bits of body kit, m-type side skirts, some rear pods, gtr front bar (though damaged and bad paint), and gtr rear spoiler to go with it

- Nizmo five spoke 16" mags, not perfect but I'm sure someone could make them look nicer.

- I do have an RB25 turbo that can go with the car.

the bad,

- paint is fading and peeling in places.

- has random scratches and paint blemishes here and there

- it's got some hail damage, its not real noticeable but there are dents here and there if you look at the right angles.

- rust coming through in rear wheel arches and sun roof area.

- no sun visors inside, they broke off and never got replaced

- grey bonnet - i tapped someone at a set of lights, i took off when the arrow went green but my light was still red, smashed my front bar and bet the original black bonnet. no other damage resulted.

- speedo is not working anymore. It was up until my last stint with it. I know this makes the kilometers seem a bit dodgy, but come on, it's an import, who knows how many km's it's really done anyhow.

- proof of a service history is sketchy, I've got a folder of random papers from when I originally imported it, but I did all the oil, fluids and sparkplug changes myself. Receipts have since gone here and there as I've moved houses over the last few years.

- reverse lights switch on gearbox has died. Had it replaced when the h/d clutch went in, but it died again. I've since hooked it upto a rocker switch that sits just near the gearstick boot.

- I think one of the coil's is slowly dying. Car runs fine, but when boosted at higher rev's is starts to miss fire. I just drive casually so it's never caused me hassle.

the really bad,

there is rust coming through the passenger foot well. when I last got this registered the inspector said he was on the fence about passing it but as I was keeping it and my situation of having my bike stolen and my pleading, he let me have it. This would need to be replaced in order to have it pass a safety cert again. Whether this is simply welding in a new plate or what, I don't know. I'm sure someone else would.

Anyhow, any questions can be emailed, PM'ed, responded to here, and I'll get back to you. Alternatively, a phone call on the number below will be quickest. Could probably do a search for my posts on this forum and find more info on it's life, I've been posting here since before I bought it.

no rego

$5300 ono

Car is located Logan City, Queensland.

    • Clutch done also about a year ago got a DCS HD Single Plate. Basically done everything but touch the engine 🤣 But will definitely get a fuel pump and ECU, then start saving 🫡
    • Fuel pump and clutch and ecu that’ll get you to about 230 or so kw, after that the sky’s the limit and the budget blows out faster then you can blink 
    • Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.
    • Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.
    • Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
