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?

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
