I talked to my brother about that one.........

well done

Q: does it come with log books etc, or have those kms been wound back a bit (hence the price)

Very nice, well done, crazy price for an S2. A little clean up and it will look great, now enjoy the wait... That is the worst bit by far, I hope you get lucky and get it on a ship soon!

Cheers

Luke

as craig says - nothing ... always trust the sales person, especially the one with no liability if something goes wrong (TRUST ME wink wink experiance wink, they dont have any liability if the cars a lemon)

mike, sorry, dont mean to ruin your excitement. I am sure it will turn out fine in the end.

Not guaranteeing that it is perfect or that there isn't something wrong with it but I did see a few similar S2 Sale prices at auction when I was searching. I think if they have high KM's are pretty stock and a little rough around the edges they can be extremely hard to sell in the Japanese market, so I think it is a plausible price. Bargain if it works out pretty much.

Luke

True - all the best with it. So what if it costs a grand here and there to fix up a couple of minor issues, a bargain either way you look at it.

Considering that 12months ago S2 were minimum 19k private or 26k car yard.

i apreciate the input alex now how DO you spell pesimist lol

No in all seriousness its pretty cheap; I guess just have a few dollars set aside "just in case". Thats all. Hell - a 25k Stagea with GTR engine and gearbox sounds pretty good to me ! :)

When I bought mine for 18k I had 5k set aside for repairs if needed, and once I knew it wasnt needed the mods began! LOL

Pessimist

haha nice.

i think all he's saying mike is that it is an odd-ish find, be wary. no harm in that. there's a difference between pessimism and caution.

i doubt the car will have dramas, i cant remember who said it, but yes it will be just because of its higher kms, and that fact that some are for sale with kms as low as 19. to sell one which such comparitively high kms, price needs to be low.

i saw similar cars just abandoned in japan, cos its cheaper than having them crushed, and less hassle than selling.

yeah i think a lot of people that import and get exactly what they thought they were getting dont know just how lucky they are. can be stressful, but can be very worthwhile.

if there are any issues, im sure we will all jump onboard to help out, anyway.

    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
