Hey guys, the time has come for me to part ways with my R32, so it's up for sale !

I originally bought it about 6 years ago (just after it was imported) from Beer Baron here on SAU, I dug up the original for sale thread when it had about 160,000km on it here - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/161469-beer-barons-1990-r32-gtst-type-m-manual. It's been an awesome car to drive all this time and has never let me down, it's farken reliable.

About a year and a half after I bought it the rb20 was feeling a bit to slow so I did a rb25 conversion on it. This along with the mods & remapped ECU it's now an extremely torquey / responsive car, comes onto boost basically straight away and it's great fun to drive. Dyno'd a while back @ 195 rwkw @ 12 psi, plenty of power in a light little r32


Specs:

1990 R32 Skyline Gts-t, type M
5-speed manual gearbox
Rb25det engine conversion (standard turbo & internals)
Approx 210,000km on the clock (the rb25 engine had approx 130,000km on it when installed, would have about 165,000km now)

Remapped Z32 ECU, done by Toshi
Exedy heavy duty clutch
R32 GTR fuel pump
100mm ARC side-mount intercooler

3" turbo intake pipe & Apexi pod filter
Turbotech manual boost controller @ 11psi
3" turbo back exhaust incl Catco highflow cat
KYB shocks & lowered king springs at the front, and damper adjustable Trust shocks & springs at the rear
17" Blitz racing wheels (lightweight) + near new tyres all around. Fronts are 235/40, rears 255/40
Slotted front rotors & QFM brake pads all round
Personal steering wheel
Autometer boost gauge installed in right dash vent
Nismo gear knob
R33 Skyline floor mats
Pioneer CD player, aux input etc etc, JBL rear speakers

Radiator top end tank was replaced + radiator cleaned/flushed about 3 months ago

Boot has been wired for amps + subs so it's all ready to go (i'm moving old sub gear to my new car)

Engine bay was kept very standard looking so cop hassles are kept to a minimum

Has an Autowatch 3 point immobiliser installed

5% tint all round by Hunters Hill window tinting, looks great
There's a few small scratches on the body, nothing serious !

The bad:

Unfortunately the paint on the roof has started to fade, and a year or 2 ago some rust started building around the edge of the sunroof, I didn't take care of it so it's still there. Theres also a spot on each side of the rear wheel arches. See photos !

The gearbox (still using the rb20 box) has also developed a pretty common input shaft bearing (or thrust bearing?) noise/rattle - stops straight away when the clutch is pressed in. It's been like this for maybe 2 years, i've gotten used to it and ya can't really hear it over music + engine/exhaust noises. Not sure if new box oil could help to improve this?

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
