hey mate might be lookin seriously at 33's soon. can u provide some info such as:

-# of owners in aust

- auction grade when imported

- any damage repair

- anything need work (brake pads, clutch etc

- does it come with stock airbox/exhaust as well?

- any marks in interior? (looks great in pics)

- does it have a service history/nissan handbook?

thanks mate

well i bought this car from kamikaze in ringwood. im pretty sure im the only aus owner coz they were compliancing it when i was looking at it. so i dont know anything about the "grades" of it...i bought it over a year ago.

there is no damage repair, the car is in pretty good shape. the exterior has a few scratches but nothing major. the brakes are a bit squeaky but apparently its nothing a good machining cant fix.(i havnt done it for the simple fact that im literally flat broke.clutch, gearbox, diff are all fine and havnt had a problem with it since i bought it.

for an 8 year old car the interior is in pretty good nick(as you can see) a few little marks around but nothing that stands out. the handbrake "boot" has a little wear patch, but most skylines ive looked at are like this(it must be made out of a weak leather?)

no history with the service but i just get it serviced from where i bought it or ice performace.

hope that helps. im still needing to sell it asap so any "reasonable" offer i will take.

this car is a "try before you buy car" its quicker than it looks.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
