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)

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
