Hey guys,

Deciding to sell my project to move on to something I can actually drive on the weekends rather than just work on.

***Current Pics***: coming soon, but here is the details and what you get:

1988 White S3 R31 Skyline Manual

Red top Nics RB20 Motor with Silvertop Turbo (bigger than the original turbo from the motor) - Very Little shaft play

500 hp Walbro Fuel Pump

Exedy heavy duty clutch (done 10,000k's tops)

Turbosmart Boost controller (adjustable from in cabin between stock ecu boost setting and dial-in setting - missile switch included)

Auto-Guage Boost guage (display up to 30psi - shadow face, goes black when not powered)

Apexi Pod filter

Lowered on Kings Springs all round with Monroe Gas shocks.

Near new front brake rotors

2.5inch exhaust with rear cannon

T25 tinted windows

Velour TI front and rear seats (in great condition)

Sony MP3 Head unit

Kicker 5 1/2 inch splits (brand new still in box)

Kenwood 3way 6x9's

Soundstream SPL12 dual voicecoil sub in carpeted box

Kicker 2 channel amp (bridged for sub)

4x 14" White CSA rims with roadworthy tyres (plenty of tread left)

4x 16" Silver ROH ZS style rims (fronts heaps of tread, rears getting close to TWI's)

6 guage dash cluster

Sports steering wheel

Chrome door handles

Silhouette grille

Heavy duty 4 point tow bar

plus probably some other small things I have forgotten to mention

Now, here is what needs to be done to get it running:

-Turbo and dump pipe bolted up and front pipe fabricated between dump and cat (if sticking with current 2.5" system)

-Piping infront of turbo (including fmic if desired)

-Purchase radiator and install

-Connect A/C and P/S piping

-replace front windscreen

-new brake pads

-RWC & Rego and away you go!

Body and paint notes:

-Front of car had been resprayed prior to me buying it years ago, and the vast majority of the clear coat has peeled. It isnt too bad with a decent cut and polish, however it probably could do with a respray eventually.

-Passenger door has some crows feet in paint. again, nothing really shocking though

-Window surrounds on doors need respraying in black.

-Aside from some minor surface rust on some corners from previous owners overzealous buffing (again, pretty minor) the car is rust free.

-Body and panels are nice and straight, however vehicle appears to have been in a slight front ended prior to my purchase (hence the pain issue first mentioned), but you'd hardly pick it.

-Interior doorcards are in VGC (mostly thanks to the dark tint). Carpet dash and all other interior bits are also in VGC

-Bumpers and plastics are in VGC

Overall, she's not too far off being done and ready to roll... I have just got sick and tired of doing the engine conversion. The motor itself is in VGC and blows no smoke (seen running in another vehicle immediately prior to purchase)

Car is located in Brisbane (Kallangur) and can be viewed on weekends

CURRENT PICS WILL BE COMING SHORTLY, however my description above is extremely accurate (PLS NOTE FROM PICS BELOW - EYELIDS HAVE BEEN REMOVED)

Car will also come with a heap of spare leftover parts I have acquired

LOOKING FOR $3500 ONO

Contact me by SMS - 0401606223.

I'm happy to answer any and all questions in the open in this thread.

Many Thanks

Tim

  • 2 weeks later...

I want this gone this week... will see it go for $2500 but that doesnt include the mags pictured or the stereo. (will put in some 6x9's for the rear and some 6"s for the front in place of that I take out... no headunit though)

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
