Comments / Modifications:

First Australian owner, I bought this car from a Private Importer in Melbourne in September of 2006 as a stock standard R33 GTST at 76,000kms (22,000kms, majority being highway kilometers, in 1.5 years)and have had no problems (bar the few common minor problems to do with faulty sensors, all fixed and replaced before January 08, have not resurfaced since) within my brief ownership of this car. My only reason for sale is that i cannot justify owning two cars, nothing to do with petrol as driving the skyline predominantly on the highways sees an average of 650kms from a full tank of BP98, it is just the rego and general upkeep and the temptation to modify the skyline is too much for my wallet to handle at this present time.

The only modification this car has seen under my ownership is a larger exhaust (3" HKS Silent Hi-Power and BATMBL split dump/front and high-flow cat), it is not overly loud (exhaust is designed to be quieter then most 3" exhaust systems) but the deeper note may be above the RTA legal dB limits so car will be sold with stock R33 GTST exhaust for RWC.

This car has been serviced every 5,000km with Mobil1 10W30, new oil filter and new air filter and has recently (today - 4/5/08) had a major service completed including:

*New Excedy Clutch (and spigot/thrust bearing)

*100,000km Service - including timing belt, water pump, idle tensioner, cam seals etc.

*All brake rotors machined

*New rear brake pads

*Coolant flush

*New brake and clutch fluid

*Oil, oil filter, air filter replaced

*Throttle body cleaned

*Car retuned

The car will also be sold with 4 brand new Federal Tyres (unfitted as this sale starts, though will be fitted as soon as possible)

Cosmetic modifications are minor and include:

*R34GTT Rims

*Greddy A-Pillar pod mount with HKS boost gauge (readings in Bar)

*Painted center console (white) (pictures below)

*Nismo Leather Gear knob

*Door fabric (not the best quality but the previous Japanese owner was either a smoker or a clumsy pyromaniac and there were small burns on the fabric areas, they would need to be replaced regardless so i thought i would try replacing them myself with white leather) (pics below)

*Gear and Handbrake boots (leather surrounds) re-made in Italy (fancy pants name dropping :nyaanyaa:)with genuine leather in white and black (pictures below)

*Main dash gauges replaced with 300km/h and in white (AMEC supplied kit) and dash lights replaced with blue LEDs (supplied by 666DAN)

*Genuine GTR (Vspec I, more fancy pants name dropping) bootlid and spoiler already painted in QM1 (i spent A LOT of time searching for this, probably my biggest regret in selling the car) Plastic not fibreglass and has working brake light

*Light up Rear 'SKYLINE' Garnish (pics to come)

(note, the small reader on the steering column is not a boost controller, it is a digital rev/speedometer that came with the car, the car has never been run on boost above the factory 7psi)

Any questions are welcome and as stated above, if you would like to get in contact with me please send me a message over Skylines Australia and i will PM you my Mobile number (don't really like the idea of posting my mobile number online :()

In regards to my p-plates and to remove any bias/stereotyping, my previous driving record is as follows (and can be found on these forums): bought an r32 4-door in early-mid 2006, wrote it off on a pole 7 days later, scared straight and to the dislike of friends refuse to even attempt anything 'p-platerish' in any car purchased thereafter. The tyres on the car are the same as when i bought the car almost 2 years ago and would still pass roadworthy, they are only being replaced as 2 years is a bit too long for 1 set of tyres.

Thanks

Alex

quoting what was said above to make it stand out more

In regards to my p-plates and to remove any bias/stereotyping, my previous driving record is as follows (and can be found on these forums): bought an r32 4-door in early-mid 2006, wrote it off on a pole 7 days later, scared straight and to the dislike of friends refuse to even attempt anything 'p-platerish' in any car purchased thereafter.

for some reason the main post will not let me edit so updating here.

Forgot to mention that the car comes with Apexi pen turbo timer and C.A.M alarm system with immobiliser, window sensors (smashed windows), secondary battery (alarm cannot be turned off by disconnecting battery), black wiring (no distinguishable wiring), adjustable sensitivity.

Price is also negotiable

:P if i could ride a hayabusa without killing myself i would be, but thats not the case. Im bad enough on my 125 dirtbike in the paddocks let alone some ridiculously powerful road bike haha

bumping it up again.

Just to summarise this sale in one sentence.

$15,000 for a near stock 1996 Series II R33 which has traveled 22,000kms in my 2 year ownership that has just had the 100,000km major service, a new clutch and 4 brand new Federal tyres fitted.

How is that not a good deal :x ? Fair enough you can buy one of the other r33s for sale here for 9,000 but generally you get what you pay for. Nothing in life is free

Not yet. Finding any time off work is very difficult at the moment, I'm in my final 2 weeks of my job. Heres a photo taken just now to show im not stalling for time that i have the tyres all set to go its just a matter of getting them on:

(note, they are getting properly stored for the time being, not just sitting outside )

If i dont get a chance to get them fitted this friday it won't be until after the 1st of June

Edited by Baconer

Tyres are now fitted on the car, if you would like a test drive please message me for my mobile number and we can arrange a time. Sunday afternoon/night will be the earliest day, after that i wont be free till June 1st

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
