Hi mate ( and welcome to SAU),

Are you able to supply more photos - especially from a distance - perhaps side on? also, maybe one of the repaired area ( how hard was the front hit? do you have any invoices for repair work done?)

I was hoping to contact these guys;

http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/...icle_id=3153203

but the fact that you will consider a swap for a RWD turbo is better for me.

Will send you a PM with details for 300ZX TT 5spd targa top, JZA80 1GGTEU and FC RX7 turbo 5spd if these are of interest.

cheers,

J

Hi mate, I've been considering one of these for a while but need more detail. Feel free to send further photos to my email address below. I'd like to see interior as well as under bonnet and around the headlights, and the complete front view.

I have 2 R33 GTS25t Skylines I want to get rid of in the near future.

One is auto and black '94 with 115K on the clock. Stock hand polished wheels and side skirts. Has had a light tap in the side at the rear of the right side but will be repaired in a couple of weeks. I've never taken it over 7psi. Great sounding exhaust from the turbo back so it isn't too loud being an auto. I did have a loud one but it was annoying. All maintenance by myself but it's been so reliable it's only needed belts and oil changes.

The other is a red manual 94 I've used on the track mostly. 128K twin turbo RB25dett. Engine about to be rebuilt with new turbos so not quite available yet. HD Systems height and damping adjustable suspension and adjustable castor as well as about to receive rose jointed rear adjustable camber setup. Diff recently replaced with a good stocker. Pineapples. can come with or without attachments for harness. Made 220rwkw on the single turbo setup with power fc and looking at 280-300 after finished with the TT and rebuild. Lots more to tell but will be looking at around $20K once the work is done on this one though. It will have a tough engine and plenty of power and handling.

If interested let me know.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
