I wonder how many of those cop cars are left. I want one :D

And I think there would be less around now if the GTS2's came with a RB25DET. So why not just make it a RB26DETT! :D

Hmm I just have to sit tight for a little longer and then I can go and try and get my hands on one, which atm looks like an easy deal because there are 5 for sale I know of in Aus, and travelling is good. :)

they were rare to come by when mine was for sale and I still struggled to sell it, now they're everywhere and just not selling quickly. You should be able to get a good deal.

I might beat you to it though :D

Hey everyone....im darcey and live just out of Hobart. I own a 1994 RPS13 180SX which i imported around christmas time. IM open for any cruises or clubs because there is a serious lack of import "get togethers" in tassie.

I see there is a cruise on the 30th but i can't make it...will htere be any in the near future?

Why don't you leave an offer and your number under the windcreen wipers next time you go past it?

Personally, I'd save about 7k and 100kg and put an RB25DET, manual box, in the exec you've already got, with some decent wheels, R32 brakes and good suspension. You'd wipe the floor with a GTS2.

Hmm, I think GTS2's look different......

I think Nissan SVD's bodykit designer may well have been one of Darth Vader's stormtroopers...

But thats me. I saw one in full white, and that looked awesome. Yes, it was a GTS2 not a GTS1, full GTS2 spec, I believe it was an ex interceptor car.

cheers,

True, but they aren't *that* fast stock, and modifying a 1 of 200 car seems a bit wrong to me. So you're stuck with a relatively slow, expensive car?

Depends whether its the style or the speed you want in the end. If you want to go fast, spend the difference on your Exec.

True Scott, but think about it, none of those comes close to a RB20DET R31 conversion in terms of bang for your buck.

R31 = already owned so $0

RB20DET = could have a half cut from an R32 for $2.5k or so, 5spd

get a dr_drift chip and a VG30ET turbo + Front mount.

LSD = $750 or so

R32 Brake upgrade = say $400 for the struts, same for the R32 disks/calipers

Chuck in some good springs/shocks = $1000-2000 depending on what you get.

and top it with some s/h 16x8" rims and 225/50 rubber say $750.

Quick car. good value. Of course the value would go out the window if you paid someone else to do it all...

cheers,

I have a white R31 Skyline series 3 executive, not registered at the moment. I brought it from auction 2months ago and its nearly finished, im in the hobart area and will be up for a cruise as soon as my car is running.

BTW last sunday as the shoreline car park i saw about 6 imports there was a WRX, Hotted up Pulsar and a Silver R33 GTR, and some others just wondering if they were about to go for a cruise or just gathering or coincidence, any one know?

Hey dudes. The name's Paul. Drive a white R33 GTS-t in Lonny. Keen to get a hill climb or something happening in the near future instead of everyone doing sweet fa and freezing their balls off in town.

Cheers.

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
