Hey guys.

I've decided to sell my pride and joy and end my import ownership for now. I hardly drive the car anymore and it's a waste just leaving it in the garage. it's been my daily for the last year and has never been taken to the TRACK. Surprisingly it's great on petrol and i'd say its around 10-11L per 100km (assumption only).

It's a 1990 R32 which was imported under the 15 year old scheme by Imports101. It was a grade 3.5 car and the car was pretty much stock. It came over with 107xxxkm and I then did a 100,000km service not too long ago, changing the timing belt but the mechanic told me the idler and tensioner have been repalced before and working in perfect condition. it's regularly serviced at 5000km intervals with Castrol Synthetic oil.

MODS:

KM: 120xxx

Separated Dump pipe

3" Front pipe, R33 GTR cat converter and cat-back HKS hipower silent (passed regency with this when it was defected)

Just Jap FMIC kit

Apexi Pod filter

Oil Catch can

Turbotech Boost controller set at 12Psi

ExedyHD Clutch (came with the car) But not yet installed. mechanic reckons approx 70% meat left

Buzz Spec (purple) jap suspension with damper adjust. Firm ride but not too stiff

replaced castor bushers and upper control arm bushes

17" Momo wheels

GTR style front bar, Type M side skirts and rear addons

GTR rear wing

Interior:

TV/DVD (plays MP4, USB, SD card, MP3)

pioneer rear 4" 2 way speakers

Nismo gear knob

Nardi Steering wheel (no boss)

Apexi Boost guage (controller as 1st listed)

Alarm and immobiliser

Clean and all vents intact

Problems:

Its hard to select reverse, pretty much you have to push it in hard after a short drive

touch up on the rear of the car

Aircon doesn't work, have had 3 compressors repalced (got 2nd hand @ wreckers) and none of them have worked. So I've spent approx $500 without no avail wacko.gif. However I can get replacement but CBF getting them to work cos I've just had enough

Price: $9,500 ono or $8,500 stock

Location: Adelaide

Contact: Andy on 0434345424 or pm

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
