hey mate, just some questions

how much money do you think (approx) it would take to fix up the brakes and engine and rust and pretty much to get it registered....have you been given any quotes?

is it a column shift or the floor shifter? does it have buckets or a bench.

any chance of some new pics of the car, interior, engine, brakes, rust...pretty much everything!

thanks, gus.

From memory this model was 4 cylinder engine (??)

When you say 'ford single rail LSD in it' do you mean its got a Ford single rail gearbox in place of the original and an LSD ??

Edit: Google is your friend:

Definately a 4 cyl engine and could be either floor shift or column depending on seat configuration.

Thank for the quick reply's, ok ill give you as much info as i can on her.

Its the 4 cylinder model,has a 1500cc with 4 speed floor shifted gearbox. The diff is a 8 1/2 inch borg warner LSD, bit of overkill but will handle 300hp no worries.

Costs to fix her up will vary depending how much work you can do yourself.

Engine rebuild or replacement, disk brakes, fix rust and new carpet, this is the list ive made for myself to be addressed.

I was going to chuck a sr20 in her as the old 1500cc has zero balls.

The rest of the car is in good condition, hoodlining is perfect, rear shocks are new koni's, rear tires are new, paint is still in great nik except for about 5 rust spots which i think was from bad prepping of joins, have the original seats in great nik.

It does need a bit of work, brakes only need a booster fitted to make them good but disks up front would be nice, like most old princes ive seen its had ford drum brakes fitted of and old v8 thats why its got the ford lsd, 14 inch rims instead of 13inch.

Id say it could be as cheap as 5k to 10k to get her fully up and running again with about 20k needed for my planned disk brakes and sr20 powerplant with a full respray.

Ill get some more recent pics today and post them up tonight, if you are keen for a look just let me know.

Thx jason.

no one interested in a early skyline it seems!

Jason - you need to post pics of the car now, not what it did look 6 years ago. In particular of the rust and the interior condition. Based on your description and what I know about rust in cars of this age, it might be worth what your asking for it......but it could also be worth a lot less. I'm in Melbourne, so that also makes things a bit 'hard' for me in terms of assessing the car.

Sorry steve mate ive had troubles getting my hands on a camera, i got 2 photo's of it the other day but the quality is a bit average,we were in the middle of a storm :P

Ive circled the rust, its there but it isnt to bad ill get some more shots during the weekend for you. The car has been sitting for awhile but is stll in pretty good condition, seats are inside my house in perfect nik.

Hoodling is perfect ill get some photo's to show you so just be patient.

Look im keen to get rid of it and not 100% sure what its worth so i am willing to be flexiable with the price.

As of now im looking for 2k to get people a little more interested in it. For that price this car is a bargin,cost me 9k with work to do when i bought it so for 2k its a perfect oldschool project for someone that wants something that is rare as hens teeth.

Ill get some pics up of the whole car over the weekend.

Thx Jason.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
