Hi All,

This is a very regretful sale of my baby / project car that has consumed my blood, sweat and tears(at times literally - well maybe not the tears, but definately the blood and sweat) for the past 3+years. Only reason why i am contemplating selling, is because it looks like i will be heading to remote territory for work, and its no place to have a Skyline. In my opinion this is the best skyline combination(pity they didn't build it from factory), with the classic looks of the R32 and lightweight of the 2wd body and the power and torque of the RB25DET. Anyway, to the car.

All parts/work has been done in the last 10,000kms using new parts. I have listed these parts as new, to indicate they weren't purchased secondhand from a jap wrecker/importer.

GENERAL

The car has been very well looked after. Always warmed up and cooled down, washed and polished regularly, and serviced with synthetic oils every 5000kms. All work has been done to a very high standard. I still had grand plans, looking at an upgraded turbo, injectors and ecu, and was also looking at a custom respray. It is still the original paint, and as such is not perfect, having some chips, scratches and those seemingly unavoidable small carpark dents. There is also some fading on the top of the mirrors and slight bit on the bonnet. I like to be completely honest about these things, i hate being on the other side, to make time to see a car, and rock up to see it is nothing like how it was described. But overall it presents very well, and these things aren't noticable a few metres away from the car.

I am not desperate to sell, so please don't send through lowball figures. If i don't get reasonable money, i will look at storing the vehicle in my brothers garage for a couple of years, until i return from the bush. As i said, this is a very regretful sale, and if it wasn't for the transfer to an area(NW WA) that is all dirt and 4wd roads, i would keep her for sure.

There is probably more that i have forgotten... this will do for now.

Looking for a quick sale at $12500 neg.

Have a look at the attached photos. The car is located in Central West NSW, about 2.5hrs drive from Sydney. Can possibly deliver for Genuine Buyers.

Please contact me initially via this forum or PM, and we can take it from there.

Thanks

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
