Hello guys,

Thought i would post these on seperately.

Gearbox, has done 500km on a full $1500 rebuild, new bearings, sychcros, all clusters replaced, have receipts, the transfer case had done 2000km on a full $1000 rebuild. Only used synthetic gear oil. pretty much brand new $1500

Pair of HKS 2530's, pretty much brand new,were fully rebuilt after i blew engine, cost $2500 to repair the pair of them. Once rebuilt i put them on another engine and the other engine and i couldnt get other engine to run right so i removed them again. Only ran for about an hour, hit boost once since rebuild, no shaft play, Selling for cost of rebuild $2500

Reco head, head has the same story as the turbos, blew engine, got new head built, Has $1400 worth of stainless steel valves in it, type B cams, heavier valve springs, all reshimmed etc by engine reconditioner. Sell for $2200

Cheers,

Hi Michael, why the sale of the GB so soon after you've spent good cash on it? Push or pull please?

Hey mate, have spent considerable amount of money on the car over the years that i have had it and suddenly decided to sell the whole lot. I sold the car minus engine, gearbox etc several months ago and had been hanging onto the gearbox, turbos and some other engine stuff as i was thinking about putting the whole lot into an LJ 2 Door Torana i have got. Took some time but now i have decided not to go the RB26 route for my torana so have decided to sell everything up.

It is a push type clutch too

Yeah mate, come with actuators etc. They were rebuilt by a company in Devonport called Statewide Turbos and deisal injection. They did it as a cash job to save me some money so i dont have a receipt to show you but here is the story.

I got them rebuilt about about august last year, they cost 2500 to rebuild as they had to replaced the centre bearing casing in one of them. Also replaced compressor wheel as the bits of piston had smashed it to pieces.

Left them in the sealed bags until i had all of the other bits and pieces for another engine to be built. Got engine built and it had an idle problem so i had to chase that and while i was chasing that up the oil pressure suddenly dropped so i shut whole lot down and pulled motor out of car again and cracked the shits and decided to sell everything off and get a dirt bike for cheaper fun. A new engine for skyline is 10g but i can buy a near brand new dirt bike for that ha ha ha

Have included some photos for you as well. They are good turbos too, before i had them rebuilt they made 328kw at the back wheels on only 18psi.

Cheers,

Michael

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
