Have daily driven this car for the last 4.5 years and it has always been dependable and fun. Car has a genuine 215,000km on it (photo showing 210k was taken in April). Suspension refreshed shortly after purchase with Bilstein shocks, Whiteline adjustable anti-roll bars, and bushes replaced as required. Added Adaptronic ECU and dyno'd at 176rwkw in 2015. Since then added Blitz return-flow cooler and Fujitsubo straight-through cat-back exhaust which sounds great and breathes really well. AFRs were checked with wideband sensor after the last mods. 200,000km major service done on time, full timing belt service AND valve clearances adjusted (at considerable expense, but the head is very quiet). Motor has very low oil usage as well, much better even than my previous R33. These Neo motors are great units. Body condition is good but not pristine, after all it's a 19 year old car. Bonnet has some light scratches and small crack in front bar that could be easily repaired with some fibreglassing, unfortunately my schedule doesn't leave much time for tinkering these days. It has a genuine Nismo body-kit and rear wing supports, which I'm told is quite an expensive addon and is very tasteful and unique. Daytime running lights added which fit the aesthetics of the car perfectly. Genuine enquiries only please, test drives will only be available to serious buyers with a deposit.

I had an Innovate LC-2 and 4.2 sensor in my car for about a year before it started acting up. Two symptoms were Erratic AFR readings (jumping randomly between 10:1 and 20:1 when at stable cruise) Sensor would stick in warm-up state and never show valid readings I went through several emails with Innovate tech support which were frustrating. They basically blamed everything they could about my setup and when I proved I was operating it within its specifications they simply replied with "RMA it and our fee starts from $45". Since it was out of warranty I left it alone for ages, recently I tried replacing the sensor with a 4.9 unit and that worked for about a week before it went back to its old tricks - same as above. When they work they're great but seeing bogus readings on something as important as an AFR gauge is an immediate deal-breaker for me. I've pulled it out and it's going in the bin.

R33 gtst missfiring problem?
Kinks replied to Mitch r33's topic in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)
Sure, none of us want to spend extra money but if your coil packs are buggered or you spent $400 when you should have spent $600 then the only way out is to spend $600. Not $500 or $400. Always buy Splitfires at minimum. Do not try and go cheaper. You will only end up opening your wallet again to buy what you should have bought the first time. -
Need a advise guys on fuel economy skyline r33
Kinks replied to Bob Virk's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Work out your economy in L/100km. Saying "to a tank" is useless. Are you filling up after using 60L? 55L? 40L? -
awful alarms. nowhere near as good as the autowatch I had in my last car

RB25DET is burning oil
Kinks replied to eric240sx's topic in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)
You want moderate RPM (3-5k) and high cylinder pressure (ie full throttle). Combustion pressure pushes the rings against the cylinder walls. Warm up the engine to full operating temperature by gentle driving first. Then do full throttle from 3k to 5k RPM. Drive gently for a while then do it again. Repeat a few times giving the engine light throttle in between. You really only have about 50-100km after a fresh rebuild do this, after which it makes very little difference. Of course if your engine builder gives different instructions you'd be wise to follow it, they may know more than me -
Don't cheap out on exhausts. I spent $450 on a catback once that was f**king awful. It was so bad I chopped it up with an angle grinder rather than attempting to sell it again.
