1989 R31 skyline, 5 speed, light front damage

Looking for expressions of interest,

I've got a 1989 series 3 GX 5 speed sedan, Silver, 246000kms (serviced about 2000kms ago, inc new cam belt, oil, filter etc). Interior is tidy and original, as is (most of) the exterior. Mechanically sound, has some lifter noise, but nothing to worry about. Had new brake pads in February last year. The car is currently in Hobart, Tasmania.

It has had a light smack in the nose, chassis/frame/suspension etc is all straight, just cosmetic damage.

It will need:

- complete front bumper,

-left headlight,

-left guard

- garnish panel

- slight repair to left hand corner of the bonnet (very slight damage),

- repairs to the inner guard where the mudguard bolts up.

Quoted about $850 for parts with a secondhand light and guard. Not sure on paint.

The car also has:

-pedders sportsrider shocks and springs, lowered 30mm

-15" CSA hornet mag wheels and 195 GT radial tyres

- pioneer speakers (but head unit was stolen).

-Air conditioning (regassed 2002)

-Power steer (all connections checked and replaced jan 2002)

I fitted a few new interior parts at the start of last year, like brand new sunvisor, clips around lock buttons etc. All hoses, thermostat, belts were replaced with Genuine Nissan parts when I got it at the beginning of 2002. (and the car came off the road in November 02). Also the instruments were all checked, recalibrated and serviced when I got it (as I had heard they have instrument trouble)Currently has 12 months of Victorian rego. Car has been Garaged since November last year.

I don't have any pics yet but I will try and arrange some.

I'll be really sad to see it go, its been a great car, but I don't have the time or facilities to repair it, and my girlfirend is getting a new car so I need the space . If people are genuinely intersted, I'll get some pics together.

Make me an offer. Looking for around $3000

cheers,

Mark Flood.

Bump!

This would be a very cheap, tidy 5 speed R31, the damage is COSMETIC ONLY. Mechanically sound, and as stated above has sports suspension AND mag wheels. Well maintained and serviced, recent cambelt change.

PM or email or phone me at the contacts in the above post.

cheers,

Haha right, a decent, manual series 3 for 3k? good luck.

email me at the above address if you want more info. I'm not desperate to sell it though, I am somewhat negotiable, within reason- I'm not giving it away.

If it doesn't sell I'll just throw the sports suspension (1k worth) and manual box (1500 or so for the conversion) into a cheap auto one, and cash the rego in to register the other one for 12 months.

cheers,

floody

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
