Hi all,

Am new to SAU and kinda need advise from you guys

What do all you think for this :

http://www.drive.com.au/used-cars/NISSAN/S...p;SG=-898480144

Questions

~~~~~~

1. Is Fuji MotorSport reliable as in trustworthy and not being dodgy -i.e. hidden dents, rust, marketing talk, etc if you know what i mean

2. Am currently located in Perth. What's the best method/company/procedures to ship the vehicle over?

3. Is the r34 a series 2 ? (am assuming this given that there are no red markings on the neo engine however the gauges in the interior kinda looks like a series 1 ). Are there any other ways to distinguish a series 1 from series 2?

4. Would it be recommended to acquire the said vehicle via a dealer or a private seller ?

Many thks in advance

check out http://www.www.imports101.com.au

they are a local company that imports and complies skylines and usually have a good selection of cars in japan to choose from or you tell them exactly what you are looking for and they will do their best to find it

i would hazzard a guess at the speedo being wound back so that speedo reading wont be truly accurate

Welcome to SAU.

The 34 there "looks" ok but its in sydney? By the time you get it here to perth (i use Wridgeways coz my wife works there :) ) register it etc etc i cant help but think maybe you can pick up a better deal locally from one of the perth import dealers. Not going to list them all, but Imports101 are very good, even check out Autoworx. Thats 2 that i have personally dealt with on different things and recommend them both highly.

Good luck with your purchase dude.

Cheers

Brad

How's imports101 service btw?

If the broker in Japan were to supply a bs car to the local broker over here (i.e. rust, peelign paint, not as advertsied), is there anyway i can reject the vehicle or is there a must for me to accept it regardless of the condition ?

when importing you rely on the broker to find you a car in good nick. Imports101 and Autoworx for example have good reputations for finding cars in good condition, specs etc. i bought my car from autoworx and couldnt be happier overall and mate got his 32 from imports101 and was happy as far as i know so you can be reasonably safe with these two if you go with them

are you particularly chasing a sedan?

i gots a coupe coming up for sale. soonish

Learning about them means a coupla things.

This forum is going to be godsend.. It can also be a hindrance if you let all the opinionated L platers have a say.

Easiest way is to think about the questions you may have..

So performance pathway... search forums for R34+power or r34+performance etc.

Wanna know about interiors search for that.. see if there are any issues. check out the interior group buy for leather interior. you will have to sift through pages.. but you will read about what bits break etc.

Or check the audio section..lots of people scratching interior panels etc, or removing things incorrectly and breaking them.

Its just gonna take alot of time, but the info is all there.

a few guys along the way in other parts of the country have done ALOT of the trial and error stuff on the 34's

good luck

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
