Hi All,

I've decided to sell my Skyline.

It's a 1989 Series 3 Silhouette sedan.

Has an OMVL LPG conversion, air con, cd player, trip computer, alloys, LSD, a K&N panel filter and a towbar. 330,000kms on the clock.

Bought as a cheap run around and now that my main car's back on the road, this is no longer needed.

It's got a few little battle scars, nothing major, pretty standard for a 19 year old car. Overall the body and paint are in good condition for the age, and with a quick polish it would look great.

The interior is very neat for it's age, and all electrics work as well as the heater AND the air con still works!

Mechanically it feels pretty good, everything works, lsd is really tight, but has a little driveline slop when you lift off and get back on power real quick. Within a few minutes, you learn how to easily avoid this though. The suspension and steering are nice and tight, and it goes pretty well. The diff has the standard borg warner whine, but it is in good condition.

Has the standard Silhouettte alloys, with excellent condition tyres all round.

LPG system works a treat, was getting 450 - 480km out of 45 odd litres. Runs well on petrol too.

Registration has expired, but it shouldn't need much for RWC.

The car will be supplied with a Vicroads permit on sale so the buyer can drive it home, and around to get the RWC ready.

Price is $1500 including the Vicroads permit.

Inspection is welcome in Cheltenham (and possibly Reservoir) VIC.

Please post, PM or contact me on 0418 597 239 for any queries.

Thanks,

Justin.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
