Hi All,

My father and I are looking for an R32 GTR RB26DETT twin turbo for use at track days and Targa events. We've been through a lot of classifieds and made some offers but still looking for the right car. Hopefully this will reach people who might be thinking about selling...

We're looking for a reliable car which has already had some work done to it. A straight body with recently rebuilt engine and a suspension upgrade would be preferable. A roll cage with CAMS log book would be even better although not necessary -we can always get a cage fitted ourselves. Does not have to be road registered. As my dad puts it, "It's gotta be a go'er not a shower".

We are based in the Sydney area but can travel interstate for the right car.

Please PM me if you think you have or know of a suitable car. All offers considered!

Cheers,

John

Car looks good but not too keen on an ex-drift car, especially without not being able to see before buying.

The search continues...

Thanks but looking for something a little more complete.

    • Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old
    • Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.
    • Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!
    • I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
    • What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
