For Sale - 1994 Series 1.5 Nissan Skyline 2.5L Turbo

Lowered to $16,550

My precious mistress of a skyline is up for sale as I have to get myself a more "family friendly" car now due to me finally growing up....shame. The car is a little over a year old and I am the first owner since I hand-picked picked it from the Japan auctions in late 2005. The car has really never skipped a beat and the build up of my pride and joy has been a fantastic journey fuel by love of the perfect combination of daily driven ability coupled with the strength to pull off a track day. Mods are listed below and are mostly of a functional nature and not for looks and cruising.

Hardware

* Front Mount Intercooler

* CES Split Dump Pipe which separates the Wastegate Gasses from the Exhaust for a strong top end acceleration

* CATCO Hi Flow Cat

* Kakimoto 3" Exhaust

* 3" Stainless Intake Pipe (The one that leads to the turbo)

* Hi-Flow Pod Filter with Aluminum Heat Shield

* 17" Genuine Work Rims wrapped in Bridgestone G3's. Sizes are 235(F) and 255®

* Genuine Nismo Fuel Pressure Regulator

* Exedy Heavy Duty Clutch - Single Plate "organic". This is suitable for up to 250KW but still retains the factory feel and does not cause cramps in traffic

* Hi Flow Fuel pump (Z32)

* X-Force Front Strut Brace (Nismo Style)

* JIC Coilovers

* Bendix Ultimate Brake Pads

* JDM-33R Number Plate is included

Electronics

* Apexi Power FC Engine Management System

* Greddy e-01 Electronic Boost Controller with LCD Screen and Remote Control

* Both of these items have been recently tuned by "HITMAN". The car makes 201RWKW now at 10psi of boost.

Interior

* Recaro Drivers seat - (I have a matching passenger seat aswell but it is not installed. This is included in the sale)

* Genuine RPM 4 point Harness with eye bolts already installed so harness just clips on or off when needed

* Sony CD/MP3 Deck with remote Control coupled with a Sony 10 disc CD Stacker in the boot

* Genuine Nismo Leather Gear Knob

* Triple electronic gauge set in DIN slot showing Boost, Water Temp and A/F Ratio

* Stainless Cluster surrounds

* Tinted Windows all round @ 30% (Legal Limit)

I took the car to a track day once every 3 months for the past year and twice to the drags. The car has never skipped a beat and knock/pinging levels have never exceeded 25. The oil and filter was changed every 5000 km's OR directly after a track day...whichever came first. Oil was always replaced with "ELF Excellium 10W 50". The oil filter was always replaced with a genuine Nissan Item. Spark plugs are only 5000 km's old and the car has never been boost past 10psi

The car is garaged every night and washed every fortnight at the car was cafe next door. The car is available for inspection and test drives for serious bidders only.

Please feel free to ask any questions. The price may vary if you wish to exclude certain items from the sale (eg harness, EBC). Please feel free to give me a call or shoot me a message to request additional information. I hope that this car's next owner will take care of it as much as I have as alot of love and time has been dedicated to it.

Rego till Oct 07. Would consider a swap for a Starlet GT (EP82) with some cash my way.

Cheers,

Sam

Wow what a shame man! Got anymore suprises!?!

When i was at powerplay the other week a stagea came in and i was thinking the exact same thing....

This car is what got me into skylines and end result was me importing one! Well worth asking price, great car.

Yep. The harness is RPM. It's a simple clip on item that latches onto eye bolts rather than bolted in so it can easily installed/removed for track days

  • 4 weeks later...

Car is up for sale again. PFC and recaro seat are no longer available. Need to sell ASAP or swap for a GT Starlet or something similar (small/quick/efficient)

New price is $16K

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
