Hey guys,

I have an R32 GTR for sale with some damage, here are the specs:

-1989 Model

-89000km

-Gun Metal Grey

-Trust 3" turbo back exhaust

-Greddy boost controller

-Greddy boost gauge

-Tein adjustable suspension

-Aftermarket intercooler

-Aftermarket steering wheel

-Blitz Access ECU

-Kenwood speakers

Otherwise the car is stock

Overall body is in good nick except for 2 specs on the rear bumper

Interior is very neat and clean with a single cigarette burn on the drivers seat.

Engine is in very good condition. At the time the car was operational, the engine was very smooth.

The car was worth $25000

Now for the damage (As far as I know):

-gearbox blown

-driveshaft

-clutch and flywheel

- radiator

-back turbo

-steering wheel column

-clutch booster

I will provide more details as I get a detailed report from my mechanic.

At the moment, I am looking to get a halfcut to get my baby back on the road but chances are I may not be able to afford keeping it once I get back on the road.

So I am wondering if anyone is prepared to buy. I am asking for $12000 ONO. Another option is to swap. I am not prepared to separate for parts.

Interested? Please give me a call on 0403911699 for further details or to arrange an inspection.

I was having a really bad night in the city (i got involved with some racist drunken idiots...explains the 2 specs on the rear bumper)...so to let off some steam I went racing...on my final run my clutch gave way which in turn blew the gearbox and other things. I knew that it was a common problem with a stock clutch but being in the mood I was at the time I wasn't really thinking about it. I guess in the end it couldn't be helped.

They found the car the drunken idiots were driving was a company car...I'm now in talks with the police and seeking some legal advice. I'll let you know how it all unfolds.

A clutch letting go wont blow a gearbox. Im guessing its the typical ham fisted shift into 3rd gear, which in turn stripped the gear, which seized up the box, which broke the pressure plate in the clutch, which broke the clutch itself, and probably ovaled the flywheel. How do I know? Seen it before :)

Good luck with the sale

WOW! you got me there. that's exactly how it happened.

I haven't heard from my mechanic yet. But what I would do is buy a halfcut which would be roucghly about $8k and sell the engine for about $4-5k and on top of that the parts I haven't used. So roughly im looking at $5-6k which includes the parts and labour.

You got a nice car there but I'm the type of guy who doesn't like to compromise when it comes to Japanese cars. That's why I got a GTR instead of a GTST.

If it were an STI I would be all over you but I'll be wishing. LOL

  • 4 weeks later...
hey buddy is this car still for sale..

because im very interested

Thank guys for the interest I have received over the past month. At this point in time I have decided to get the repairs done myself. Should I have financial trouble keeping the car I will have no choice but to sell it. I'll keep you guys updated over the next few weeks.

OK, I have given the car some thought based on my personal financial position. Firstly, I will struggle to save the money to get the car back on the road and secondly, once I do get on the road I'll be more broke than the word broke. So for this reason I am selling the beast as-is for $12000 ONO. I am also open to a swap.

Here is a complete list of what needs repair/replacing from my mechanic:

- Gearbox. Completely gone

- Flywheel & clutch. Clutch master and slave. All gone

- Engine block damaged. Can be repaired but I would recommend a replacement.

- Engine sump damaged

- Back turbo blown.

- Front pipes chopped

- Starter motor damaged

- Front drive shafts damaged

- RHS CV damaged

- Engine mounts need replacement

- Radiator & fan shroud damaged

- Firewall damaged

- Left hand chassis welding splitted

- Some electrical wires have been chopped.

From the list of repairs, it will be best to buy a half cut, get whatever is needed to get back on the road and sell what you don't need from the half cut. Yes, I agree, it does sound like a daunting task to get her back on the road but if I had the money, I would have stopped at nothing. Unfortunately, money is a barrier for me and I have no choice but to give her up.

I am ready to take offers. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Khoi

From the list of repairs required maybe you should turn your car into a half cut, sorry I know thats a bit harsh but I gotta ask how did you damage the firewall and tear the chasis welds?

From what I can gather it doesn't really seem like a highly modded car which could produce the torque to flex the car.

    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
