Chris, PM replied.

And cheers Taffrey.

Matt I like the Maximas, especially the Ti, but the boss has her heart set on a Subie. Cheers though! :) Happy to sell to you for cash! :thumbsup:

Cheers lads, all PMs replied.

Hopefully I'm home from work early enough tomorrow, so I can take (and post) a few underbody, interior, and engine bay pictures for those that asked to see them.

As a few blokes have been asking why did I respray the car:

When in Japan, some the sphincter of the universe at the caryard decided to forklift it around rather than drive it. Using the forklift crushed the outer sill panels and by the time the car arrived in Aus the panels were starting to corrode and were heavily damaged.

I bought new outer sill panels from Mr Nissan Japan and had a bodyshop fit them. As I was paying for the entire interior to come out for the sill panel replacement, I decided to go ahead and respray the car, replace the right rear quarter and rear quarter glass on both sides.

Hope that helps!

Yes I did thanks, but I ended up buying Raw111's R33 GTR Vspec last weekend instead.

Good luck with the sale of your car though, its definatly a good buy.

Cheers,

Ian

I was really looking for a freshly rebuilt car, but this is a good price and the paint is great, so can you just tell me if the fluctuations of up to 10 psi (assuming psi is what was used to gauge) are big fluctuations or whether we're talking minor damage or we're factory condition (145 140 150 145 150 150)

It depends entirely on how the test was done. If it was done cold and dry as most people do them so they don't burn themselves, well the results are fine.

Keep in mind that an alloy piston grows in size when it heats up more than the engine block does, so ring seal and piston/bore seal improves with engine temp.

If these are the results of a wet test (tablespoon of oil in the cylinder to aid ring seal), then this might indicate an issue. In the scheme of things 10psi is nothing.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
