Hey everyone,

I'm thinking of selling my drift car - its just not getting enough use and its pretty stiff for a daily drive. I bought it off Fatz who also helped me set it up :(

Its a 1987 r31 Skyline sedan (Aussie delivered)

Manual

Red

S13 Silvia front brakes

Coilovers (They are HD system mid range ones, can't remember the name)

Adjustable steering arms

Sparco wheels

Recaro seats (ok, they are fakes but work well and meet the regulations)

Autotechnica Steering wheel

The chrome is painted black - awesome.

S3 round tail lights and all the rear stuff the match (looks WAY better)

All the gauges work, but the odometer and trip thingo don't.

2 1/2 inch exhust and hi flow cat (extractors come with the car, but are not fitted right now)

11 months NSW rego.

To drift properly you'd need to weld / LSD / locker the diff and give it a touch more power (maybe a nos shot). Even as it is it slides like a champ, really well balanced and easy to control :) I sued a weldy which has been replaced by the original diff.

Its got a few minor dents and scuffs but has been my daily for over 18 months and hasn't let me down. The gearbox and diff both seem in good conditon, and the engine is strong.

Would consiber swaps to equal cash value, it'd have to be manual and rear wheel drive though. :(

I'm not sure what its worth - $3500??

So, make me an offer if you are keen. Just PM me or give me a call.

0418 666 332.

Cheers!!!

up for swaps??

Hey guys - still for sale - had a seller fall through (I hate time wasters - especally when I knocked another buyer back - grrrrrrrrr)

I'd be happy to swap - but it has to be another manual RWD of some sort.

***I should also mention its got 10 months rego, tyres are good - its all ready to go driving - gearbox is smooth and doesn't crunch at all - diff is reasonably quiet.

swap for turbs 180sx and cash my way.. pm me if keen at all.

Thanks for the interest mate - however at this stage I'm only interested in a sale or straight swap :)

When you've sold the beast let me know :D

Still up for grabs, fully regoed and new distributor (it had a sized bearing, so I had the whole thing replaced). I've even serviced it for you (timing advanced, new filters / oil / tappet gasket)...

Its in reasonably good nick, and its a big laugh. If I didn't have to do so much long distance work, I'd keep it!

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
