hey,

unfortunately i am going to have to sell my car. After 14 months of getting it on the road and completed, some stupid cop has just destroyed all that work....... Getting a fine, for power to weight, use of a modified vehicle....

I am not going to be able to drive the car for 2 years so i guess its better off going to someone else.

The specs are.

- yellow S13 nissan silvia 85,000 k's

- sunroof

- rb25det motor with r33 turbo gearbox 70,000 k's.

- new daiken 5 puk brass button clutch

- custom 1 piece tailshaft

- custom gearbox mount and engine mounts

- modified sump so doesn't hit sway bar.

- new bosch 040 fuel pump

- new hks hipower exhaust, 3 inch cat, 3 inch front pipe

- hks style front mount intercooler, with 3 inch alloy piping, tig welded....

- custom throttle body moved to front of plenum

- polished plenum and cam covers.

- new timing belt, new waterpump, new cam cover gaskets, new oil cooler gaskets....

- new pod air filter with stainless steal flange

- Japanese dish style 16 inch rims, fat 225 advan semi slick tyres on the back.

- Limited slip LSD is very tight.

- flat

i would not even have driven the car for more than two tanks worth of petrol. So every bolt on is like new.

I will also throw in a painted gtr rear wing and a set of r33 front rotors for a brake upgrade.

Thers probly more stuff i have forgotten about the car, so any serious people interested let me know.

I am getting the defect off for the sale of the car, but it will not come with engineers certificated. Lot have time and effort has gone into this conversion, and i am pretty pissed off.

cheers

i do have lots of pictures through the conversion, but i'll try and get some of it all completed.

p.s

car owes me over 25 grand. serious offers only thanks

good question....

I cant put a price on it, as it owes me too much both money and countless hours spent. I have had an offer of 14 but thats a little too low.

theres a few more bits and pieces that i forgot to mention. Suspension is some aftermarket stuff. not too sure on name though, has a boost gauge, and battery has been moved to boot.

if serious send us a pm, and more than willing to discuss price. but i cant really name a price... too hard.

i will not be offended by any offers...

ahh ok.. yeah i was thinking less than 14.. considering there is still plenty of work left in her.....

i just want a yellow car back :P i miss my yellow gtst...

id love to have this as a nice project car.. :) but good luck with the sale and if someone offered u 14.. id have a think about it.. its a pretty good price

only thing left is getting an engineers certificate.

**** the engineers;)

is the wirign all neateneed up ??

email me at [email protected] with pics of full interior and engine bay.. has it got coilovers??

it doesn't have coil overs. i am trying to upload pics here....

the interior i am tidying up, but not a big drama to get done. The wiring is all done, just a mtter of bolting computer in place.

getting the speedo and temp gauge to work, is the real last thing.

dude i would so be interested in this in a few months, engineering certificate doesn't matter to me cos in tassie its like a piece of piss!

has it ever been complied in any form?

Ooops sorry.

Seems a shame to be spending so much time on a car and then sell it:( Probably better off stocking it out and selling it as a stocker - give you some nice bits for your next project.

Good luck with the sale.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
