Does Anyone Know Of The R32 Gtr Norton?

[DJBarnstar]

I'm looking to bid on a car with the number plate norton tmw.

It's an r32 gtr write off with act norton plates.

Anyone know of this car and mods/ history?

Cheers!

Never seen it on the ACT roads

I only ever saw it parked out on the road in Mitchell. Used to be near Gentech on the opposite side of the road.

Norton written off??? Nooooooooooooooooooo...

Dunno the history but this car used to be parked out the back of my work in Belco daily about 5-6 years ago.

Was owned by a Computer Geek?? Asian fella.

Loved looking at it everyday. Was a Gorgeous Black R32 GTR with vented Bonnet. I'm drooling now!!!

saw it maybe 2 years ago in Mitchell near Gentech.

I have pics...

Any idea of the mods it has or power it makes?

Well it's a repairable writeoff that is at Pickles. Looks like some serious side and rear end damage. Going halves with a mate depending on cost.

Looks like plenty of bolt ons. Will be having a closer look tmw AM.

Thanks for the pics and replies, it has awesome wheels on it now that would look good on my firdy free but I assume one is cactus.

Cheers

This is the one a pickles right now. I'd never seen it before about 4 months ago when I noticed it parked in the back lot of Pedders in Phillip. Either rear left or rear right (can't remember exactly lol) looked like it had hit a gutter at speed sideways coz the wheel looked like it had about 40 degrees of positive camber. Was there for ages just sitting so when I heard it had ended up at pickles I just assumed that they were assessing the damage.

Hope this helps

Just had a look. It is Rouuuuuugh.

No compliance plate. Good for parts only.

Bummer.

[DJBarnstar]

get this it went for $6750!

What a bucket.

I went up to $1500!

Internet bidder will get a suprise when it arrives. Looked alot better in the photos than in the flesh

[StinkyPoo]

Wasn't it an onsite bidder?

[DJBarnstar]

Wasn't it an onsite bidder?

Nah the onsiter went to 5K according to my mate.

Pity really. Built motor, turbos, ecu, near new triple plate clutch and a few other bits and pieces.

[GTRKat]

Makes me wonder what was wrong with it for the owner to not have bought it back though.

The car was pretty rough. A lot of the visible GTR specific stuff had damage or wear. The only thing that looked neat were the seats.

- The original Aluminum bonnet had been cut and vented instead of an entire aftermarket job.

- GTR front bar was damaged

- GTR rear wing was damaged

- GTR front guard was damaged

- GTR rear guard was damaged

- Oil leaks from engine somewhere.

- GTR cradle mounts were broken

- Control arms were bent

- PowerFC hand controller was missing

- Coolant was low or not there

- Dash appeared to be broken or tampered

At that point I bumped into a mate who said they were going to bid more than I was and stopped up looking.

I wondered why it was also not bought back. The damage from the crash was not bad, probably fixed for about 4.5k in a shop. It didn't look stolen/recovered (had an alarm and assumed immobiliser installed), so it was most likely "driven" into the crash. It appeared to have some goodies installed too like the PowerFC, maybe upgraded injectors, had different fuel fittings, an oil cooler, massive exhaust, aftermarket FMIC.

I think fixed, it should sell for at least 12k. I was going to wreck it down with a mate if it was in our price range.

Anyway, I do wonder if my mate bought it. I might try to find out tomorrow.
