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=3473361

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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
