Just got my car in from Japan. Did a compression test and 2 cylinders look are low on compression, most probably due to piston rings.

Colour: white

Kms: only 68,000 !

Tranmission: manual

Engine: RB25DET (2.6 litre)

Aftermarket modifications:

- Professionally rebuilt engine from Japan with forged RB26 pistons (need of a rebuild)

- Metal head gasket

- Trust TDO6-25G turbo with braided oil lines

- Trust exhaust manifold

- Trust HPC coated intercooler piping (some is custom by Autobase in Japan)

- Trust tube and fin intercooler 100mm thick!

- Trust external wastegate

- Trust screamer pipe

- Trust oil cooler with braided oil lines and relocator kit

- GReedy inlet plenum

- Kakimoto turbo back exhaust

- 300ZX AFM

- POD filter

- 17” ADVAN trispoke rims (very expensive and awesome build quality, great for drags)

- Zeal brake rotors!

- Original Veilside Body kit (not in great nick, needs upgrade)

- Gauges, different types: fuel pressure, oil pressure, oil temp etc.

- JIC fully adjustable coilover suspension

- Front strut brace

- Rear strut brace

- HKS turbo timer

- Aftermarket bigger injectors (they are red, so I assume they are nismo 555cc? huh.gif )

- mechanical LSD

- Big aftermarket fuel pump

- Adjustable fuel regulator

- Clutch twin plate (unsure of brand)

- Tyres Bridgestone, good nick

- Remapped ECU

car is on carsales for 16.5k uncomplied

heres the link My Webpage

The engine can be rebuilt cheaply by just replacing the rings but a full rebuild with forged pistons, race bearings, tensioners, gaskets etc. will cost 3k all up. Reason why I'm not rebuilding it is because I can't afford it. My price is 14k neg, add the value of the parts second hand and if you had the time , you could sell them, source the standard replacements and comply and sell it for a profit.

Car is perfect for drag and drift, and ideal for someone thinking about building a tought 3 litre RB30. Need to get rid of it ASAP, all offers will be considered including trades. Will happily send interstate at my own cost if I get a reasonable offer.

I paid 10k Australian for the car in auction in Japan alone so i'm going to lose a fair bit of money

Hi Dan,

WHat's the deal with compliance on this? I mean, can the buyer simply take it to any R33 accredited RAWS and get it done? I thought that in order to get this complied the import approval had to be obtained by the RAWS workshop who would actually be doing the compliance on the car. Which means if I were to buy this interstate, do I need to get it complied first by the RAWS who has applied for the import approval? Cos I'm just thinking this through.....they probably won't comply till the car is both stock ( or relatively close to....) and engine is fine (?), so this may be a little more of a headache than it first appears.

Can you clear up the situation around how / where / who must or can comply this?

Cheers mate,

J

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.
    • Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment. Specs Front: 18x9.5j +22 5x114 Rear: 18x10j +20 5x114 Price: 320,000 JPY/ 3,285 AUD (current FX rate) Condition: a few scratches here and there, no bends, distortions or cracks.  Tires will not be included for international buyers, I'll get them dismounted before shipping. They're currently listed on yahoo auction and will be shipped in Japan with the tires if they sell here. Shipping costs to Aus: EMS (1-2 weeks): AUD 1,175 (current FX rate) Sea (2 months): AUD 460  (current FX rate)
    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
