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 ,

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

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
