Basically, the car is a Nissan pintara Ti, it's the highest version so it has all you electric windows and cruise control and whatnot, impressive for a 1991 car. Anyway the car is one of the most economical cars you'll find, it has dual fuel running a very weak gas, the car initially was not able to be converted to gas due to the engine size and only EZYGAS™ would do it, despite faults in the mixer it now runs smoothly and very weak, making it insanely economical. The car gives you anywhere between 380-430 km's on a tank, normally I fill up when my speedo sees 400km but give it a kick and it sees 380. car costs 83 cents for 10km's, that's only $2 more per 100km's then a brand new hybrid Toyota prius, so… I was initially going to keep this car as a daily driver and grab a GTR or a GTT soon but now my logic has got me leaning towards house deposits and all that grown-up crap id have to face one day or another.

Faults with the car:

Dint in the driver side door, (200 bucks for a new door whatever)

Front left light is weaker then the right

Back right tire loses air pretty easily

Mods (guess I can call em mods…?)

New TIMING CHAIN replaced, $750 bucks, receipts to prove

Super gas conversion $2750 receipted of course.

Front tires replaced: receipts somewhere

The car has a insane sound system worth close to 2k, it has twin 12 inch subs, big amp, front/rear speakers and a mp3 ipod head unit. Without sound system the car is a firm 4000, with the sound system its 5000.

The car runs impressively new, come for a look, tire kick all you want, I'm in no way shape or form desperate to sell this economic car, pics will be provided soon if theres interest, so if you go a turbo, GTR and need a cheap daily driver, here it is, not desperate in the slightest, let me know if your interested.

mate for $4000 your dreaming...

i just had one in better nic, new JDM engine etc and couldnt sell it for $1500 with RWC & rego...

it got rammed by some lebs on speed, so i sold it in parts for $1800

join up on antrx.com (pintara specific forum) and build up your posts then have a crack at selling it there....

you might get a better idea on what these go for too...

I know it's a bit steep but mind you i've spend heaps on making the car as fuel economical as possible, and the things i've done outweigh the price of the car. :D This is a major fuel saver. And at the same time I'm not desperate.

BUMP.

8 bucks per 100km's.

Forgot to mention it has had the injectors replaced (2 of them) and filtered, new air flow much more, everything has been done to make this car as fuel economic as possible, cheap as piss to drive and has been taken care of internally!, the car has a new cluster forgot to mention and things will come to mind as i think about them. Very solid car.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
