NO LONGER FOR SALE... sorry i am going to keep her :ninja:

This really is an interesting car and I am happy to give you its full history.

It is by no means a show car. It is a full on performance car and would be very dangerous in the wrong hands. It really is a handful to drive if pushed but is fine in traffic and had been daily driven by me since buying and modifying it. It returns 400+ km’s to a tank and is comfortable to drive.

I built the car myself to suit my needs at the time. It we designed to be used as a daily that I could take out to the track or to the skidpan on the weekends.

It looks nice without getting attention from the wrong people. It is not overly loud but as it has a 2-way diff expect clunk in carparks…

I am not going to make any power claims as I do not have current dyno proof. It was dynoed when the motor was built but I have since lowered the boost and changed the tune as it was very difficult to get traction in 1st 2nd and 3rd. the car is currently running 16psi. I would estimate it is making around the 240~250rwkw mark. And somewhere in the vicinity of 400nm of torque.

I am in 2 minds about selling the car but have decided as much as I love it, its time for me to set aside my love for fast cars for now.

ENGINE - RB30DET

I built this engine using an RB25DE head with less than 60,000 k’s and an RB30E bottom that has been rebuilt. All new gaskets and seals were used and VCT is disabled. The engine runs perfectly makes ridiculous power and torque.

Misc engine additions:

Sliding performance hiflow

Splitfire coilpacks

Splitfire panel filter

Iridium plugs

Turbotech Boost controller

Blitz FMIC

Braided stainless lines for turbo and VCT

GTR fuel pump

3 stainless turboback exhaust – batmbl split dump, metalcat, Blitz 3” catback

Suspension/Handling

Replaced front and rear struts

Kingsprings front and rear

Whiteline adjustable rear swaybar

Solid alloy rear cradle bushes

Solid alloy cnc steering spacer

Adjustable forged castor rods

Driveline

Exedy 5 puck ceramic HD clutch

Rebuilt RB20 Gearbox with hardened shafts : 0

2 way Nismo SSS LSD

Wheels/Tyres

RS-R 3 piece 17x 8.5 F – 235/45/17 Fedral 595 80 % tread

RS-R 3 piece 17x 9.0 R – 235/45/17 Fedral 595 90 % tread

Interior

BRIDE BRIX recliner

Ital Volanti steering wheel

Quick release wheel kit

GREDDY turbo timer

Autometer boost guage

Tinted windows – darkest legal

Dash lights changed to red for that Darth Vader look

Chrome gear knob and new leather gear / handbrake surrounds

Full 3 point immobilizer and premium alarm insurance approved

Stereo

Sony CD/MP3 headunit

Jaycar 6.5 splits

Eclipse 12” sub in custom fibreglass sub box

Soundstream Granite 4ch Amplifier

Boot retrimmed in standard grey carpet

I am not in a hurry to sell it and have set a price of $14,000

I am not interested in haggling and am not hard up for cash. I built it for a lot more than this and anyone that wound be genuinely interested would know what is involved in putting together a machine like this.

I will put up photos in the next day or so :blink:

Image018.jpg

this is probably the worst photo in history :P but it gives you an itea of what the car looks like. she got stuck in my front yard after some really heavy rain :(

Picture015.jpg

here is a slightly better one. the intercooler is now black and the front lip has been removed :)

When you take photos take pics of the interior incl. back seats and the engine bay.

Any cosmetic/mechanical problems large or small?

Also what suburb are you from?

Edited by UNTS-1

Will do, I will be waiting till it is not 41deg outside ;)

mechanically the car is in excellent condition.

it has just had about $370 wouth of fluids changed :(

motul turbolight put in the motor

redline lightweight shockproof in the gearbox

castrol syntrax in the diff

new coolant

new PBR brake fluid

new power steering fluid

there are a couple of things i am looking into fixing at the moment.

I have just ordered a new speedo cable, there is an oil leak that will have to be fixed. thats it. both should be done in the next week or so.

asthetically the interior is in good condition excelp for a bubble in the dash like 90% of R32's have. body wise it is a 13 year old car and has a few marks and scratches here and there but on the whole is is a really nice tidy looking car.

I will take a lot of photos.

Thanks for all the PM's.

I regret to say the car is no longer for sale. I can't bare to part with her. sorry to the interested parties

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
