Hi all,

For sale is my 1992 R32 GTR that I purchased back in 2003 with 72,000km's on the clock. The vehicle had one Australian owner prior to buying it, and it is now up to 110,000km.

The Good

- Racepace Stage 1 RB26DETT (oil gallery modifications, head rebuilt with new guides, shims etc, forged pistons, R33 GTR crankshaft, sump baffles etc)

- Tomei Poncams (260 in/ex)

- HKS camgears

- Tomei twin entry fuel rail

- 2L surge tank in the boot with Bosch 044 fuel pump, braided lines to the fuel rail

- HKS twin plate clutch (with 50% meat remaining)

- HKS lightened flywheel

- Sard 800cc injectors

- Garrett T04z (0.86) on X-speed high mount manifold with Tial 44mm external wastegate

- Trust/Greddy PE-ii drag exhaust

- Trust/Greddy aluminium radiator

- Trust/Greddy dual entry drag intercooler

- Splitfire coil packs

- HKS Twin Power ignition amplifier

- Autronic SM4 ECU

- Blitz ZZ-R coilovers

- Whiteline front and rear sway bars, all bushes front to back have been replaced with Whiteline

- V-spec Brembo 4 pot callipers on the front with DBA 4000 slotted discs

- R34 GTR wheels with new (90% tread) Federal tyres

The interior of the car is very clean and in remarkable condition for its age, with no dash bubbles and no broken aircon vents. The car has an R33 GTR drivers seat, with normal wear and tear but no rips.

The Bad

- Snapped key stuck in drivers side door lock

- Gunmetal grey front bar and no grill (do have a carbon fibre grill in box, brand new, that will go with the car)

- Tachometer stops working occasionally on the instrument cluster

The Ugly

- 10cm spot of rust on the roof at the top of the drivers side A pillar.

- Dent in passenger side door

- Touched up scrape just behind the rear drivers side door

Summary

Overall the car is in A1 mechanical condition, with all parts above being brand new (excluding the clutch and sway bars which were previously on the car) and installed in the last 5000kms. All mechanical work was done by Autotech Services in Hume, ACT and it has a conservative tune on it currently making 380kw at all four wheels (Autotech have a dyno dynamics 4wd dyno). The car drives straight and I really cannot stress enough that mechanically this car is brilliant, anyone that drives it will be impressed.

The body of the car however does require some TLC - a few thousand on a decent paint job and getting the surface rust on the roof removed is all it would take to make this car absolutely mint.

Why am I selling? I have owned this car for almost 10 years now and interests/priorities have changed over the years. I was intending to fix the body up, but need to purchase a 4WD ute and have run out of garage space. I also only drive the car once a fortnight for a 50km round trip just to keep it running.

The car is located in Canberra and registered with no outstanding defects and is not listed as a write off on any systems. I am asking for $12,000 which I believe is a fair price given the work that has gone into it, and that it is basically brand new mechanically. Will upload pictures tomorrow night.

Best contact for me is through PM on here or via the mobile, 0423 670 289. Due to my job I am often unable to take calls during the day, but will respond after hours.

I have thought about parting it out, but don't have the time or space :)

It would also be a shame imo, as every mechanic who has driven it comments that it is one of the best driving R32's they have come across. It's a brilliant car and if someone picks it up they are getting an absolute bargain - all it then needs is a bit of money put into the body :)

Nik - I think I have a full set of 2nd hand locks with key (except for Ignition barrel). I'll have a look.

I've recently been in Nik's car and it pulls like a runaway.

Bargain buy boys!

No rust under the car. Sorry for the late reply, haven't had a chance to get on here again till now. Car is off the market, missus is now getting rid of hers instead of me getting rid of mine to make the required car space - sorry!

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
