Hi everyone,

My beloved R32 is now up for sale. Due to a change in personal circumstances, I have been left with no choice but to sell it. There is nothing wrong with this car in any way and if it was entirely up to me it wouldn't be for sale.

It comes in the sought after Dark Blue Pearl colour (TH1) and looks absolutely awesome in the sun. The car is not in showroom condition, being 20 years old, but isn't too far off. The speedo reads 124,000 kms, so I'm guessing it has had a replacement motor installed at some stage and the kms are a reflection of that. It is always filled with Shell V-Power only.

The car is a genuine Type-M, which includes the bodykit, all power options (which are in perfect working order) and even very rare factory leather interior (average wear and tear on leather). The rest of the interior is almost spotless.

Most of the modifications were performed by the previous owner and they include;

- G4 coilovers

- Gts-T wheels painted white (Paint has begun to flake)

- 3" Stainless Steel turbo-back exhaust

- FMIC with chrome piping

- Oil catch can with breather filter

- Gates Racing Timing belt

- Pod filter

- Larger in-tank fuel pump

- R33 turbo

- HKS turbo timer

- Turbosmart BOV

- Turbosmart manual boost controller

- Autometer boost gauge

- Slotted rotors

- Brass button clutch

- Momo steering wheel

- Alpine iDA-X305S Headunit

- Alpine 4 chan amp

I've had the car for almost 12 months and in that time I have treated it with the utmost care, the car gets washed and waxed regularly and a few extras I've included are;

- Nismo seatcovers (to further protect the leather)

- Nismo gearknob

- TUF 032 numberplates

The rear wing has recently been removed but will be included in the sale, along with a box full of other spares.

I'm asking $8,800 ono

Rego expires on 22 November 2012, this has already been considered in the asking price

No time wasters please

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
