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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
