up for sale is my baby ive only owned for 6 months, bought it stock from a guy who was in the Army and i am the 3rd owner (with the sales recepits to prove it). the last owner had it for 11 years and the owner before that abviously since new. All the mods have happened ion my short ownership. Genuine reason for sale, the salvation Army cruise (some may remember) i didnt stop at a stop sign while trying to avoid the police, unfortunately that cost me 3 points and inevitably my license (letter should be here any day).

I may trade for an import for a slightly smaller price as id love to have something new to fiddle with over the 6 month loss, and i miss my silvia. something along the 180/S13/r32/r33 line is where im thinking. the car isnt perfect, but the kms are genuine and for the age of the car it is in very good nic, a credit to its two previous owners. A few little scratches inside the door panels are the main problem and unless your a perfectionist i doubt you would notice. It is awesome on fuel, about $30 of ultimate will fill the tank for 400-450kms and insurance is cheap as well.Anyway a bit more info on the car

overall the car is a great package and all it really needs is some of the parts i have fitted and some form of LSD to finsish it off. buyer wont be dissappointed, the car is a lot of fun and something different on SA roads. Pm me with any questions at all about the car, no hassles at all. here are a few pics of it. any questions feel free to ask. im willing to sell less some of the mods as i still have all the stock parts, pending what you dont want well go from there

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
