Sorry mitch, but I can't see anyone paying $12k for a non-turbo. Like steve said, maybe $9k is closer to the mark.

yeah no joke , gonna wait and see what happens with my financial today , if it goes according to plan ill drop the price in order to sell asap

plus im gonna speak to my dad when he lands in Melbourne and see what he takes on it .

im trying to get my mate who just bought a skyline yesterday who cant handle the power and wants to return it to stock standard to consider trade plus cash his way

as all he is wanting is a skyline he can daily to work and back and im sure mines perfect for him , plus he isnt a car person .

doesnt know what a hicas lock bar is or what coilovers are so...

time will tell :P

Swap + $ with your mate seems like the best way to go - convince him of this. Maybe swap cars for a day or two to see if he likes the idea? Saves you the hassle of having to sell & buy again.

yeah thats what im thinking , the only thing is he is fair sketchy on manual and i got to drive his car around all day yesterday although it does have a TODA Racing clutch which is really hard compared to a normal

clutch so im pretty sure he would be fine in my car as my clutch is light as in comparison , but yeah im gonna suggest that to him today because he likes the r33 but he wants to return the one he got to stock ,

and last night he called me saying he regretted buying the car he did as it had too much power...

hopefully he is willing to trade

GL with the sale mitch, good car for someone who already has an engine they wanna drop in, your paintwork is immaculate.

cheers damo !

even all of my mates agree with my cars body and paint and how immaculate it is :P

well, Ive been quoted petrol money change out of 2grand to fit and tune the following:

Cometic intake manifold gasket

Cometic intake collector gasket

Cometic exhaust gasket

Cometic Head gasket 1.2mm x 87mm

ARP head stud kit

EPP 6mm viton Intake valve seals

EPP 6mm viton Exhaust valve seals

EPP Intake valve seats

EPP Exhaust valve seats

EPP Intake valve guides

EPP Exhaust valve guides

Q45 90mm throttle body

Greddy Q45-RB25 adapter kit

EPP clear cam gear timing belt cover

Tomei oil gallery restrictor orifice

Tomei hi-lift valve springs ~8.8mm

Tomei 256/256 poncam camshaft set

Gates Racing timing belt kit incl. tensioner and idler

2x 700cc Sard injector external intake manifold setup

ryco oil filter, oil filter magnet set & Motul 4100 turbolite 10/40w oil

Need a controller for the extra injectors tho........................

expect, with the sards, there should be enough fuel injc. headroom to push a nice comfortable 230kw tune., with heaps big torque

:P

then thats it, bar pistons/rings and rods/bearings; maybe in 5yrs time. lol

hey Tangles, have you already purchased all the aforementioned head related parts or are you planing to get them.

Different if you already have, but if you haven't, IMHO I would do pistons & maybe rods 1st.........would also be cheaper than all the stuff you've mentioned but only a little more in labour costs

yeah thats what im thinking , the only thing is he is fair sketchy on manual and i got to drive his car around all day yesterday although it does have a TODA Racing clutch which is really hard compared to a normal

clutch so im pretty sure he would be fine in my car as my clutch is light as in comparison , but yeah im gonna suggest that to him today because he likes the r33 but he wants to return the one he got to stock ,

and last night he called me saying he regretted buying the car he did as it had too much power...

hopefully he is willing to trade

what sort of power has your mates car got if it too much for him :P thought TODA only did toyota parts

will msg you tonight when i get home

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
