selling due to where i live is a training ground and i cant even drive my car to the shops without getting pulled up i love this car was going to fix everything on it but ive bought a new ute so i am open to swaps even for a turbo car i travel alot for work so it wont bother me if i have to get a work exemption permit.

car: 1993 (i think) r33 skyline s1 gts (non turbo)

has 143xxx on the clock purchased the car with 128xxx

motor:

stock apart from a bmc air filter and a canon

always run bosch ultra spark spark plugs which are changed every 10 000 oil is always changed every 4000 and filter.

driveline:

as i beleive it has a rb25det gearbox and an upgraded clutch i dont know what clutch as i bought the car with the clutch and it has a viscous lsd in it.

interior and cosmetics:

has 3 drift gauges water temp volts and air/fuel and a mini gizzmo shift light which are all wired up and running interior is largley stock apart from them will throw in an aftermarket wheel when car is bought, has a kenwood stereo clarion speakers in the front doors kenwood in the rear parcel shelf 12inch kenwood sub and a rampage amp, jsut recently i have installed a 8000k hid kit with led parkers. rear tail lights are spray tinted but are still visible and have never been asked about them

suspension:

tanabe sustec pro coilovers with hks castor tops in the front spring rates are 8 front and 6 rear firm ride.

bad points

needs a respray has humidity blisters on roof and drivers side rear quarter

new front guard as it has a dint which has been bashed out.

needs new castor rods.

some very mechanical minded idiot put brake fluid in the power steering doesnt hurt it jsut steerings heavy

needs a wheel allignment

window rubbers need bailey channel put in.

doesnt like to start bone cold but never stalls

this car has never let me down since i have owned it i did want to build it up but there is no point in doing it all and making it turbo becassue i feel it is eassier to buy a turbo car

price: ballpark figure of around 6-7k i bought the car for 5 completly stock and with no stereo or anything my loss your gain

no stupid figures from know it all cause you will be told get f@#ked if you ring and say 3 grand

i am very open to swaps with cash adjustment either way

ill post up pics, ill take some interior pics and the front guard and all the bad paint spots tomorrow

reason why i am being so honest is you dont want to think you are buying a brand new car i mean these cars are not new anymore so dont winge about the condition if you think im over priced or anything, the car is under a car cover 99% of the time

cheers

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
