I've only had the car for about 6 months, I was actually looking to buy an R31 coupe when I bought this, at the time it seemed like a good idea but I've realised I shouldn't be so impulsive and instead wait for the right R31.

This car was in decent condition when I bought it but it had been lowered on compressed springs. I have had the underbody looked at, replaced the springs with KingSpring lows, replaced all 4 shocks, bump stops and dust covers (I have receipts for all of this) - It also got a brand new set of Toyo tyres and a wheel alignment at this time.

It has a cream leather interior, but the leather on the drivers seat is worn and has a 4cm tear in one spot, seat covers can be provided free of charge if requested, the leather on the gear knob is also worn.

The paint is very good overall, not perfect (the car is 15 years old) but overall its good. It has one very minor ding under the passenger side headlight (from previous owner)

The car also has central locking (key operated) and an immobiliser - the rest of the car security details I'm not willing to disclose on a public forum :down:

Over all its a very good car for either a first car, or as a daily. It isn't perfect (and hopefully the price reflects that) but mechanically its sound, no weird noises from the diff, box or engine. The clutch engages smoothly and it shifts up and down through every gear without any problems.

All receipts since I bought it are included in the sale, a long with a second key, the log books (incomplete) and the manuals and original purchase papers.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
