Advertising on behalf of a friend, any questions please ask, if I don't know the answer i'll find out:)

 

Hi all, have had to put this up for sale due to me making a return to higher education. I'd love to keep it but unfortunately having any kind of nice ride is not compatible with student life that isn't subsidised by a loan!

 

I'm intending this post to be a no BS, straight forward advert and any questions don't hesitate to ask.

 

Basics:

 

1993(I think, will need to check the V5! ) R32 GTS that was RB20'd in Japan and was imported only a year or so ago I think.

 

Located in Torbay, South Devon but car could be taken to Bristol next week if necessary, as that's where I'm moving to

 

Mileage indicated is 102k I think but that isn't all miles due to it being converted, also, I don't think the speedo converter is very good as it over-reads quite a bit, meaning the mileage will be less than actually indicated anyway. Furthermore that is mileage on the shell, not the engine which I am led to believe is quite a bit less. I would hazard a guess that due to only being in the country over a year it's most likely that pretty much all indicated mileage is in KM's so I would guess around 60-70k miles if that, and less on the engine

 

I have some history with the car which I will dig out tommorow and list, pretty sure there is a dyno printout in there from the previous owner that shows standard power

 

MOT: 12 Months.

Tax: Just over 5 Months (Taxed it on Friday so lost nearly a whole month:()

 

Standard R32 Refinements; Electric Windows, Folding mirrors, etc etc.

 

Good Points:

 

- Pretty solid shell, no rust on arches or pretty much anywhere. Couple of minor rust spots but absolutely nothing major.

 

- Solid Engine/Box/Turbo. Pulls cleanly, revs freely and sounds great with no smoke.

 

- HICAS Locked and all piping/solenoid removed with the feed looped correctly.

 

- HKS Super Dragger back box

 

- De-Cat

 

- Cusco solid front upper camber arms

 

- Walbro

 

- Alloys (No idea of the make!)

 

- 4-pots on the front, I have the rears too but never got round to fitting them, brakes worked fine as is so didn't want to create problems!

 

- K&N M's cone filter

 

- Boost Gauge

 

- Nismo gearknob

 

- Recently replaced MBC/Servo/non-return valve and fully bled and flushed whole brake system through with Silkolene DOT4

 

Bad Points:

 

- As mentioned before, shell is solid but paintwork isn't the best. It's not terrible but there are some light scratches, scuffs and a couple of tiny dings etc. Pretty much what you expect from 16-year old car. Basically don't expect mint paintwork and you won't be disappointed.

 

- Alloys could do with a refurb or could just be painted (White or Black would look nice)

 

- Interior isn't too bad but it does have a bit of a dash-bubble and the steering wheel is a little tatty.

 

- Has the classic R32 broken bonnet release. The plastic handle snapped off the mechanism in the cabin so the current bonnet release is a pair of Mole-Grips that sit in the drivers door pocket.

 

- The reverse lights currently don't work. It's always been like that but I've just never been bothered enough to fix it. However I should get some time this week at my friends who is fortunate enough to possess a double garage to investigate. Current theories are simply a dodgy connection. However at this point in time class them as not-working.

 

- Speedo overreads a bit, think it's got a dodgy converter fitted?

 

- The boost gauge on the clocks doesn't work, may be to do with the conversion that was carried out. Doesn't really matter since I fitted a better boost gauge anyway.

 

- Drivers seat right-hand bolster is split a bit and showing some foam.

 

Can't really think of any other bad points

 

This car would be a great basis for someone who has more time than me and want's to make a nice R32 (ideal drift car if that's what you're into).

The shell and mechanicals are pretty much spot on. You could chuck a set of springs/springs & shocks/coilovers and weld the diff and you will have a fun drifter.

 

I've got a few pics but will get some more tommorow. Will also get engine bay/interior shots.

 

Any questions just ask.

 

I'm wanting 2000 No offers for her considering the shell condition and tax+test.

 

Usual conditions; No time-wasters, tyre-kickers or test-pilots. Etc etc.

Oops, also forgot to mention I have the Cat to supply with the car.

 

Also forgot to add that the front 4-pots are hooked up with Conceptua hoses as well.
