Ok people here is some upto date information.

Dont bring them over and think you will get around it, its not worth the risk, the people at the pits have been upgraded too. (never thought they could upgrade criage, but even he is upgraded).

The safest way to get a worked car is find a well kept, showroom R32 89, so that the 15 year rule applies to it next year.

For R33 if the price works better for you from Japan , then get a standard R33 and a front cut of a worked R33.

It all depends on the moola you want to spend.

The only reason I'm ordering from Japan is because I've not found exactly what I want here in Perth.

I've also been looking at prices recently and I'm pretty sure it'll be $1,000/$2,000 cheaper to get it from Japan.

Regards,

Jason.

Keep looking here Jason.

That $1,000 to $2,000 will soon be gobbled up by "unforseen" costs and then some.

Not to mention the puss and pain you will have to go through under the new system.

Find a car in Japan today and you won't be driving it till november

Cheers

jason,

can buy mine if you like :P , it's totally stock 95' (last of the series 1). With the spare coin you save you can make it 'look' the way you want , including a series 2 front if that floats your boat and it will be fast, unlike the series 2's around. Good series 2's go for around $26K+.

or you can keep it as a 'sleeper', with the 11 second potential.

Jason,

It's been my work car for almost 3 years (reason for sale is tax man related). The maintence is regular and includes the gearbox and diff regularly, unlike most.

It's been to the drags 3 times in it's life. I'd love to take it for a 4th and borrow some street strip tyres for a few 11 second passes with the NOS kit. However the new owner will I'm sure.

I think if you do a search on my posts and threads both here and the performance section you will get an idea of the attitude I have towards the car. Also quite a few people on the W.A section know of me and my car. The worst thing you'll here is that I'm not after maintaining appearence , mechanicals are a different kettle of fish.

go here to continue looking at it. If your curious I can arrange a drive (without NOS ) so you can benchmark what a 'good' skyline should drive like, even if you don't want mine you will be able to measure others.

      TPS voltage RB25DET

      By BASHERnissan · Posted

      Hi guys my TPS voltage is reading over 2v at idle.  My Haltech ECU is reading around 40% throttle position at idle also which is really strange. Note the actual throttle position sensor is brand new…    anyone have any experience with this or know how to calibrate it on Haltech ?

      Cas issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The OEM disk will not work on any AEM ECU, you need to use the one they made. You shouldn't have to flip the CAS or whatever you were describing, if you set the ignition sync offset correctly it can't backfire. Make sure you're using a spark plug lead on coil 1 instead of the timing loop to avoid weird issues with the timing light. Double check that your timing settings are actually correct, like is the 24 tooth configured correct or should it actually be 12 teeth for 1 crank revolution? I also found this: 305817248-AEM-Undocumented-Settings-v1-2.pdf

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).
