But when its a second hand car (as 99.9% of skylines are) you should be more concerned with whats under the hood, because you can always change the exterior :laugh:

Thats true but would still prefer to find the colour i like and as low k's as i can

The most important thing when buying a GTR is mechanical condition and general overall condition...look underneath for under body damage...these things get picked up in Japan by forklifts and it fks the underside. There are many complex and very expensive parts to consider their condition on a GTR. A non rebuilt engine(still factory internals) will fail under extra boost...most common problem especially in the older GTR's (R32 1989-1994)is bearings spinning requiring bottom end rebuild. A basis RB26 rebuild will set you back 7K minimum (more of course depending on mods). I have owned plenty and brought in plenty and it would take me hours to explain the pit falls of these things if your not familiar with them. Take along an expert if you are inspecting one.

edit- the bottom line is these things are expensive to maintain and insure and if something does go wrong you will be running for the bank manger....you need to have at 10k extra in your bank account after you purchase one.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
