yellow rb25det silvia regretful sale.


Recommended Posts

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...

    • Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.
    • Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.
    • wired everything up and confirmed that the red with white stripe is indeed the fuel pump pin on this harness.
