Hi Guys,

Well the time has come. As most of you would know I currently have 3 cars (2 skylines) and I now have another one on the way. So I need the space and the money. So sadly the little GTST has to go. A bit of history. Mark Hocking purchased this car for me just before the 15yo rule change after a few months of searching for a neat, good condition 32 we bought this one at USS Gold in Kyushu. Those of you who know Mark Hocking would know his reputation for finding good cars is second to none. After that I imported the car in late 2005 and had it complied here in Sydney at Grey Import in Annandale. Again, anyone who knows Nathan would know they do top work. I registered the car in March 2006 and have just re-registered it again so it comes with 12 months rego, and of course 12 months green slip (together worth nearly $1K). I also bought custom plates for it which read HCR 32M I've just paid another 12 months fees on them too ($90 a year). They are cool plates for a 32 GTST Type M and I'll through them into the deal. Ok, the car. It was a 2 owner car in japan and completely stock when I got it except for a cat back (very deep and quiet sound). It still had stock air-box, stock wheels, stock steering wheel, stock boost etc etc you get the idea. It has ~150kms and has had a timing belt change, and a head service in japan. Engine, clutch and gearbox are all in good condition. Since I've owned it I've added the following:

Forged Blitz racing wheels 17X9 +30 all round (perfect look for a GTST) these are a very rare and expensive japanese wheel - I have all 4 genuine Blitz centre caps, and lock nuts for them, but just haven't put them on as I thought they loooked cool without them on.

Falken 235/45/17 inch tyres all in good condition, done a max of 5000kms. Same size all round gives it a nice look. They look quite fat on the +30 offset rims.

R32 GTR front seats (both in good condition, passenger seat does have 1 small burn from before I bought it, drivers seat is perfect though)

Apexi Power intake kit (for that nice induction note)

HKB boss kit

D1 quick release hub

Nardi Personal 350mm steering wheel

Trust Gear Knob

Cusco side number plate mount

Sony MP3 head unit

Rebuilt the Alternator

I also have the following parts I've been building up for it, but not yet fitted. If I get a fair price these will all come with the car:

4X Sony 6 inch 2 way speakers

bleed valve type boost controller

genuine autometer boost guage

genuine ARC intercooler kit (side mount)

stock air box

stock front seats

Brand new front slotted rotors (think I may have a set or rears too, will have to check my parts haul!)

ok, known issues with the car: It currently has squekey front bushes (I should have these done before sale), front passenger windo switch is broken (I stuffed it when removing the door trim, should also be fixed before sale), stereo is installed but not wired up (I put it in, but ran out of time to do the wiring - only a 30min job), bonnet is slightly out of whack on the drivers side (i left a socket up the top after changing the battery, then closed the bonnet and left it like that for a week! it slightly bent the hinge, could be re-allinged with a mate and some patientce). Other than those things the car is very good. and is in nice shape mechanically. I mean it is a 15yo car so it's not perfect, but it hasn't been thrashed. It was clearly used just as a daily driver in japan as it had no mods whatsoever.

As you can see there is a boat load of potential in this car. I just don't have the time to give it any decent attention as I'm focussed on the GTR atm, and I don't even drive any of my cars to work. It's a waste of space and money for me. :) I bought this car to have fun with on the street and at club days as I was sick of worrying about blowing up or smashing the GTR but with all the cars I have I really need to sell it.

Car is available for viewing or test drive in Sydney, northshore. PM me with interest. Don't be shy, give the beer mobile a new home. :D

forgot to mention, the car will be going in for a service next week. Oil used is Motul 8100. One less thing for the new owner to worry about. Oh, of course it can be registered in any state. I have all the paper work. Rego, engineers report, import approval, inspection certificate etc. And it has a mod plate affixed to the engine bay, and a full aus vin plate too. This will save you head aches if registering in other states.

oops, forgot price. $13,200 (inc 12 months rego and all the extra parts) There is thousands of dollars just in the bits I have bought for it, let alone the value of the car, and 12 months rego is just a bonus. ;) The price is a little negotiable, so if interested and you have cash in your pocket there is no harm in making an offer. The worst I can say is "no". :O

thanks mate. yeah, it's a good honest car. it's nothing extraordinary, but it's straight, in good shape, and has honest kms. I should mention the rear type M pods are currently off (see pics) as they both have little cracks underneath. I was going to put them back on, but might leave them off, i think it looks a bit cleaner without them. The new owner can have them though. They are the genuine nissan ones, not copys.

I am picking up an R33 GTR today, so I REALLY need the GTST out of my hair. If you are looking for a 32, give me a call I'm sure we can work something out as I'm now in a spot with too many cars :D

it was less than I wanted to accept, and more than they wanted to pay....

sorry mark, it's not up to me to disclose.

Anyway, farewell little GTST :pirate:

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
