R32 GTR Japanese Import. With Australian compliance plate. Previously registered in Canberra
Huge Trust intercooler,

Z32AFM, Rays Engineering wheels, two are f*ed but the tyres are good (scuffed from track day at Wakefield)
Whiteline suspension.
Upgraded custom front disks and calipers. Spare disks and coilovers (n
Fibreglass bonnet is scuffed but not cracked.

Front bar was off the car and is intact/undaamged
Upgraded turbos - dont know what they are, but there's a Garage Saurus ECU that came with the car, HKS boost controller.
SARD Hard piping. Upgraded radiator,
Tower struts, Body brace.
Lots of goodies. .
IS REPAIRABLE, NOT A WRITE OFF. But you would need new front right guard, Door, glass, and roof section.
I was going to repair it but circumstances have changed.
This car was making 299KW reliably and was leaner on fuel than my stock R32 GTR (which I have sold).

Used to run at Wakefield on club days, and was quick.
Has a lot of nice features including red skyline lettering inserts on the boot.

Had $8000 on it, will take $6 grand cash, not a penny less, and will deliver for the cost of diesel.

Cheesewire restraining barrier at around 15 km/h. Nose went under it, the bruises are from the wire inside the car. Dangerous stuff...

Is repairable... That would need a shit tone of money thrown into it to even get it close to passing rego. Scrap for parts because no one's going to be 6k for a car in that condition.
btw wtf did you do? drive it off a cliff?

Wire restraining barrier. As I said. Impact was around 15km/h. Nose went under it, the wire took the momentum and swivelled the car sideways.

It is repairable, talked to a panelbeater also a few guys at Wakefield. Parts are available from Japan, around $1700 in new roof, right rear, door pillar panels, $450 for a secondhand door and guard, $200 in bonnet repairs. $2000 in caraligner and another $3.5k in paint. Its a 300kw car, not a stockie. Or part it out and get around $11k in parts.

how does one flip a car at 15kph?

srs question

Wire restraining barrier. Didnt flip. Slid into it, cops reckon someone oiled the road near the corner. Had just changed into second, was stopped at a set of traffic lights at a T intersection.

Or get a car with intact drivers door pillar/roof, drill the spotwelds, they were all machine assembled so welds are in exactly the same place.

Otherwise I will do it myself on the rotisserie.

11k in parts?

Sorry didn't read that part.
Still going to be hard to sell. not many people want to buy a car that f'ed up just to fix it. I'd love to buy it
Wouldn't you get more than 6k if you wrecked it? if you did in fact but 11k worth of parts for it.

Yes I would if I parted it out, would be sad, but I'm located in a rural area and not easy for people to pickup parts.
How much would it cost you to make a reliable 300kw gtr?
Anyway I have an offer, hopefully not another BS artist.


so its been through insurance hence classed as repairable write-off by insurer and not repairable deemed by your opinion?

Yes insured through Shannons, and bought back, its not on the register at all. Hhad a panel beater look at it yesterday, he reckons front tie rod is bent (they are apparently soft), no front chassis damage, unsure about the cradle but probably no damage, there's a small dent in the rear sill chassis rail but is not a fold, so will pull out. A right rear GTR cut, drivers pillar, and new roof, door trim/window, and front side windows. Rear cradle looks OK as well but cant tell until you get it on a hoist and measure it properly.

Sold it and then the buyer changed his mind when he fronted up with his parents ( !! FFS !! ) best offer I've had is $5,500 so will let it go for that.

My new project car is arriving in two weeks (1963 Ford Falcon Wagon) and I need the space.

    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
