Know the feeling, we're thinking about selling and buying bigger block/house. I want a kick arse shed, room for the car, pool table, sofas, and bourbon fridge with tele wall mounted to watch the "MIGHTY WEST COAST EAGLES" kick aaaaarrrsssseee or maybe kick their drug addictions "who said that?.

By the way the green spider web infested car is going to thy maker soon. Problem is , not much worthy of salvaging. Instrument cluster anyone?

I really need that chrome trim off the front edge of the bonnet and drivers side guard if you want to off load some parts.

Dan, would you be willing to pay $10 plus postage? I'll get price on postage before I send. The guy who owns these cars has bugger all money. He lives with his dad and bros in a sh#$t hole of a house. He works full time at a car wash/ vaccum joint and it does'nt pay him alot. This is where I met him, I drove into the car wash with my then yellow coupe and he thought it was his. It just seemed to coincedental from his point of view that another coupe looking almost identical could exist. I know it may sound like a sob story, but another fact to this story is he pays rego on two of these cars each year($900)and has never held a license and never driven any of these cars. ( yep! what a waste). But like the rest of us , he loves these cars and it started with his dad owning one and since then he's done what a lot of us have done, bought extra cars, parts and things we really don't need. There, finished.

I had a yellow coupe like that from near new.(6 months old)

Didn't happen to have a rego plate KM240 at any stage did it?

Wouldn't mind another one to restore

Come to think of it had a Green Sedan too couple of years after that

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
