For Sale is my Project - KE 1989 TX3 4WD Turbo Laser. Car is not registered.

This car is an ex rally / race car. It has welded & strengthened seams. Mounts for roll cage. etc - Fully kitted out for rally / race. Also has front and rear strut braces. Mounts for race harness and comes with harness kit (not new, not installed). This car handles like a cart !

I have started it's transformation but need completion now as I am going O/S/

1.6L turbo engine has just had new Excedy 3 puck racing clutch fitted. Engine runs well and is in car - but need gearbox links, throttle cables and wiring up. The car comes with a old Haltech Fuel only ECU - but would recommend replacing with a newer Fuel & Ignition ECU as the Haltech is no longer supported and getting the tuning software has proved to be difficult. Engine runs perfect and compression is a uniform 160 accross all cylinders. A variety of Pod filters comes with the package.

The engine has bigger injectors - Custom Dump and Big straight thru exhaust (no cat)

The turbo has been stripped, cleaned and polished. No shaft play at all - Also comes with a spare turbo.

Suspension has been replaced by me as it had a bent front strut. Full race spec K-Sport inverted coil overs have been fitted to the front - I have the rear coil overs but haven't fitted them. The suspension is brand new and cost me $2,500. Old suspension comes with the package.

I have replaced all suspension rubbers at the front along with tie rod ends and control arms with new items - New sway bar links bushes. The front sway bar is a massive 30mm job and the rear suspension has been worked for racing.

Engine mounts are all good - had to replace one with a new one. Crossmember rubber have been replaced with new one.

Basically, when I took the engine out - if anything was worn or broken, I replaced with new items.

Front and rear discs have been replaced by new DBA slotted rotors - Fronts are fitted - Rears are not - but come with the package. Brake pads are good - comes with a new set of rear pads. Brake system has fully braided lines and has brake bias control (front / rear). Handbrake is Hydrolic.

Front wheel bearings have been replaced & repacked with new ones. All CV joints have been inspected and re-packed.

Car has racing seats installed which are a bit old - but I have new seats (not installed) available. (extra $300)

Wheels are polished Simmons all around - Tyres are good condition.

Car has been re-sprayed a few times which you can notice - Engine bay has been cleaned and re-sprayed.

I have spent over $5.5K on the car so far - and it won't take much to get into race condition.

Car will need to be towed as engine not completely hooked up and car is not registered.

I was thinking of stripping and selling the individual bits as I would get a lot more $$ this way- but basically I can't be stuffed - so if you want a bargain - Give us a call.

Price - Offers over $2,500

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
