Ok guys if you know anyone that wants a skyline tell them about mine, as its really got to go!!! I know I told some of you I was now keeping it but I just cant afford to, so the car must go. I have dropped the price to 16k for a quick sale. There is a case of beer or fav drink in it for the person who directly helps.

The fact you have had it on so long now snooze i think you may be in some trouble in that...

- There seems to be a lot of people selling modified cars all at pretty good prices

- Most people still have the idea in there heads if the cars stock/stockish it's been looked after and not thrashed.

- Me personally if i was to buy a modified car i would be getting one that is heavily modified eg forged internals, massive turbo etc etc.

I think you really have to two choices...

1 - Ride it out as maybe the right person has not come along yet.

2 - Strip off the parts that are worth a fair bit of money and return it to stock performance wise. The kit i think would be a big + but if you can sell your turbo, injectors, coilovers, fmic, wheels and a few other goodies you might get $3000 - $5000. Spend maybe 500 - 800 getting the stock parts and then sell your car for like 12 - 13 which would be more suited to the cheap people out there.

I really have to get my sh*t together as well... I'm not too fussed with having two awesome cars in the garage but its just not practical.

If anyone who knows my car and knows someone shopping for one then hit me up. I'll get my pics and stuff sorted soon...

Hope you dont have too much more trouble with it mate. Let me know if you need a hand with anything.

Hey Leigh I have been contemplating that exact idea of putting it back to stock I have most of the parts, would need some coil overs, front and rear bars, stock side mount, rims, and turbo. Then run into the fact I dont really have the time, see what happens.

Cheers

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
