Hey Guys,

After accepting a job in Perth, I am now facing a HUGE lifestyle change, and have decided to sell up all my performance cars. So this is the sale of my beloved R32 Skyline with RB25DET powerplant. Well my skyline has been in long term storage, since late 2005 when the rb20 died. I privatly imported this car from Japan in 2004 for a close friend of mine, who drove the car for about 7 months in 2005 before the old rb20 blew a HG. After this happened we put the car into storage for an rb25 conversion, which we did, and then my friend lost interest in it, and i ended up buying the car from him. A further 8 months or so went by before i got around to re-installing the RB25 gearbox and finishing the conversion. Since then the car has continued in storage as i just havent had the funds nor time to re-register it. Now i am faced with moving to Perth, so i was gonna take her over, but have decided to sell up everything and move on. This car is currently not registered, but before my decision to move came about i was ppreparing it for rego, which meant installing a whole host of brand new parts (like new as in NEVER driven with). The car will be fully registered before ANY sale which happen early next week, as soon as i have time.

This is a 1989 R32 GTS-t TYPE M so has big brakes, factory sunroof and the other type m goodies. It has had a Series II RB25DET engine & gearbox conversion performed on it. The engine had 65000kms on it at time of install, and has not seen 2000kms since. It is also equipped with the Nylon-compressor wheel turbo, and is very very very responsive. Engine is in top condition, and has not been boosted above stock boost pressure.

Engine Mods:

- 1996 Series II RB25DET Engine & Gearbox Conversion, all professionally wired & everything on dash etc is interfaced

- Brand New GReddy Type M Intercooler kit with 600x300x70mm bar & plate core (bought from slide)

- Brand new 52mm thick custom alloy radiator with silicon hoses

- Brand new 3 inch stainless steel exhaust from cat back, very high quality & super quiet

- 3 inch mild steel dump pipe to cat

- 3 inch Stainless High flow x-force cat

- Some Japanese Brake Master Cylinder Stopper

- Bosch 044 Intank Fuel Pump

- Brand new Apexi Super Flow Air Filter

Suspension & Driveline:

- Bilstein adjustable coilovers all round, very stiff 9kg front and 7kg rear

- Custom 1 peice tailshaft, with XR8 uni joints to suit the rb25 gearbox

- Brand new exedy super heavy duty clutch

Body & Exterior(Besides facotry body kit):

- GTR Style front bar made for GTS-t

- Original Japanese rego sticker :):D

- R33 Stocko's in VGC

Interior:

- OEL Pillar Mounted Boost Gauge

- Pioneer Head unit

- 6 inch's in the rear parcel shelf, and pioneer 5x8's in the doors, sounds great!

- Nice Japanese brand steering wheel (caruso??)

- Standard interior in Great Condition!

- All Electrics work! no hack jobs here ;)

- A/C Hooked up to RB25, but needs a regas to work

Other:

- Car is FULLY engineered & Complied, and i have ALL paperwork & most receipts totalling in excess of $20,000

- Just had a service, fresh plugs and fresh Penrite Semi Synthetic oil

She starts & runs beautifully, and is a pleasure to drive. The Bilstein's offer a really firm ride, awesome for a bit of spirited driving.

Now, here are some not so great points about the car, bear in mind that these points & the fact i need to sell ASAP due to relocation the price is set accordingly. I am losing a stupid amount of money on this car, what i am selling it for is less than what the original imporation costs were. Points are:

- Old repair from Japan has stared to swell out of the LHS rear wheel arch, thought to be rust at first but has turned out to be an old fibreglass repair

- A few minor paint belmishes here and there, nothing out of the ordinary for 19 year old paint.

- Clutch throwout bearing has become a tad noisy (still opearates fine, prob just a bit tight from sitting for so long)

Price is $10,000 fully regoed

Im sure there are a few things i have forgotten and I will update with any forgotten info when i remember it, or just ask whatever you would like to know.

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
