OK guys I know this is an odd one but figured it was worth a shot.

I've got me Vette up for sale (also listed on carsales), and I've been searching for a nice R32 gts-t as a daily driver so figured why not post something here.

Car is currently on carsales for $24,000 but I'm negotatble especially for SAU members.

Car is located in Bayswater VIC.

Details:

1975 L82 Corvette Stingray. 350 v8, 4 speed manual. Car was in storage for winter and only brought out in november to get club registered for summer.

A lot of work has been done to make this car drive better than new.

All suspension bushes, bearings & joints replaced with new urethane ones and full suspension rebuilt and alignment.

All brakes rebuilt with new Al ORing style pistons and new seals.

New pads & rotors have been machined.

New stainless steel park brake mechanism & shoes

New wiper & washer motors

New targa & window seals.

New ADR compliant seat belts

New RH Dip Head lights

All fluids, filters & plugs recently changed.

Car is very original and a stock L82 car. Its not numbers matching, engine was replaced in the US in 2009 with a GM create motor but the motor is a genuine L82 engine. So heads, manifolds, carbi and cam are correct. Motor is very fresh, responds well and starts first time every time. Exhaust is standard 2-1-2 system. It has correct induction hood and corresponding air cleaner setup. The 4 speed manual makes the car much nicer than an auto to drive and gives the true sports car experience. Gear box feels great, synchros are all strong and the clutch was replaced with the new engine. Car features adjustable tilt & length steering column, air conditioning and power steering. Interior is in fantastic condition with new carpet and seats fitted in the US. Body is brilliant, as expected for fibre glass, with only some very minor chips and scratches. Original Rally Wheels are in mint condition and are fitted with near new tyres. Import approval documents provided and a RWC can be arrange as part of sale if required (passed one in November for the club registration). Air conditioning needs re-gassing. Drives like a dream and is certainly a head turner.

Its no 300kw skyline but it sure does cruise well!

I'd be interested in swaps for a R32 GTS-t with some cash my way. Could be convinced to do the same for the right R33 GTS-t or R34 GT-t. Not sure if I want a GTR but let me know what you got and if your keen. If I don't get any interest by end of March when the good weather ends she'll be going back into storage for winter again.

Cheers!

Update:

New stainless steel flex fan and chrome rocker covers fitted (kept the original fan & rocker covers).

New aluminum radiator about to be fitted. Also have a brand new set of stainless steel extractors and gaskets that I may fit before the end of the month.

update:

ratiator fitted. Looking to install the extractors next weekend.

If car is not sold/swapped by the end of March it will be going back into storage for winter.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
