Hi All,

Time has come for me to part with this Nissan Skyline HCR32 1989 Matte Black. I've owned it for over a year but I am planning to go overseas and cannot afford to put anymore time, money and effort into building this car into what I wanted it to be.

Goal was to reach 300kw and be a great daily as well. So close!

Anyway, THE GOOD:

Serviced 2,000kms ago with royal purple oil

Standard RB25 head with RB30 bottom - Capable of roughly 380kw.

Standard manifold

HKS Fuel Rail

550cc injectors

Aftermarket Plenum

100ml Throttle body

Aftermarket front mount intercooler from JustJap

APEXI POWER FC with hand controller

Aftermarket Turbo

3 inch custom catback exhaust with cannon muffler

3 inch custom piping all round

custom air filter piping

brakes machined and new pads

turbosmart street eboost controller

Volk GT-P 17" Racing rims

new Kumho Tyres done like 1,000km (not sure which)

I'll also throw in a set of chromes that was on the car when I bought it

HID Lights

Reconditioned rb20 Gearbox

new slave and master cylinder

The interior was done last year with suede ceiling and looks great!

Momo steering wheel

Standard Diff.

All oil levels have been checked and are all full and healthy.

power windows

sound system

boost gauge

original skyline mats

momo gear knob

turbo timer

The car is registered until 31st December 2012. The car has also been blue slipped with the new engine in last year.

THE BAD:

Turbo is in good condition, but is internally gated. Needs external wastegate to produce easy 250kw. Was running 18psi but it is now limited to 10psi @ 220kw and is safe to drive as is, there is almost no knock in the engine which is really good.

Power steering fluid leaking really slowly.

Broke off the door mirror accidently. I have it on with some glue and tape atm couldn't find time to replace.

The car is painted in Plastidip. For those who don't know what that is, please go on youtube and watch it. The car looks amazing in Matte black, but I need to spray on another coat for the car to look perfect.

Chassis has done 218xxx kms, but body of the car is very straight and rigid.

two little chips on the windscreen. Done the O'Brien window repair on them so it is safe.

If you choose to push the car any further than 250kw, you should consider a rb25 gearbox and a stronger diff. But you should be more than satisfied with its current performance.

Couldn't find time to go and buy an oil catch can and install it, not urgent but good idea to get one asap.

I had great drives and cruises with this car, never did anything to hurt it or ruin anything. Really don't want to sell this and I really did want to make this special. Investments in the future are more important for me atm but I wish to do this all over again.

In total, I bought the car last year for $10,000, spent over $8,500 on rego, mechanics, etc and just needed to spend a few thousand more to get it to be one lethal car. Highways have pulled me over three times and did not defect me, and I can provide roadworthy if needed.

I really need to get rid of this ASAP, so I'm not going any lower than $8,000. Please don't bother low-balling me, as I am sick and tired of getting stupid offers from people. I know what this car is capable of and I will price it accordingly. Road legal, not loud, flashy and attention seeking. Great car and I will miss it.

Hi,

Just came to mind, a few more things I could mention

NO air con - works but blows hot air due to no compressor. space needed to fit the radiator in but I think it is possible to get it back on there and working.

Excedy Heavy duty clutch installed few months ago, grips all gears perfect no slip

Short shifter

Splitfire yellow jacket coilpacks

K & N filter, old, needs to be changed

Tuned to run safe at 10psi.

Wheel balance and alignment done 500kms ago as well

It has an aftermarket chinese turbo fitted. It runs fine at 16psi, but the actuator is in a bad position. This leaves a kink in the hosing to the boost controller and there is a spike at higher revs up to about 20psi.

There is almost no engine knock at full revs, but a new turbo is preferred for this to push easy 260kw+

I limited it to a safe 215kw for the time being so it is driveable.

Car is up on eBay and has one day left. I need the money guys please bid

Hey all,

Just got back from America....Had a great time there at a cost so I'm trying to get a little bit of money asap.

$4,500 ono, no rego. Please give me a buzz if interested.

Really disappointed with skyline enthusiasts :(

Last chance to pick this up by the end of the month for $4,000 firm. I picked up my motorbike for that amount and can't go any lower as I want to pay it off now.

Everything works and it is an amazing car to have. Can be regoed, if not, used as a track car or drifter.

IF I can't sell it by the end of the month, Ill be bothered to start stripping parts off and selling it separately. I'm sure to make more money that way but I'm just not bothered honestly, so grab a bargain guys!

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
