picked it up for $8,000 and has 80,000kms real (not wound back from japan)

Engine: rb25det with pod & BOV

Exhaust: stock 3''

Suspension: stock

Wheels: 20" black with chrome lip

Modifications: gtr rear wing, booster controller (11 psi)

Stereo Audio / Visual: kenwood double din head deck

Estimated Power: i would be guessing but 153kws at the wheels (correct me if im wrong)

Hey mate congrats on the new car!

I can't beleive how much you picked it up for. I have not been keeping track on the market lately, quite amazed.

Well have fun with it, and be prepared to keep that wallet open once the mod bug bites...

Cheers

Good buy, you forgot to mention sunroof.....

if its running 11psi i would probably at the very least put an r34gtt side mount intercooler or better.... just for added piece of mind...

Correct me I'm wrong, but I'm sure you have had that Skyline for a while :)

Also, I'm pretty sure I have seen you at West Gosford Maccas once or twice :laugh:

matt you would of seen it at west gosford maccas .... mitch hardly ever comes out anymore ...... and i told him yesterday to regester on here for info about his 33

its a nice looking ride ........ mitch give me a call if you want to come out tonight then we can cruise in to the sau meet up ........

... nice looking car ... great price ! ... it wasnt long ago that 8 grand would only get you an intercooler/power fc/4 s-hand wheels & 2 seats !! ... now you get a whole car :blink:

... enjoy ... :D ...

... as a matter of interest what does the sticker on top of the timing belt cover say ? ....

look exactly the same as the sticker on my timing belt, should say 100,000k service.

..... thats exactly what i was implying .... if its got that sticker its done 100,000 klms .... you might be lucky & it hasnt done many more .... nevertheless not too worry itll be good for many many more if you service it often ... :) ...

It doesn't have a clutch fluid reservoir :)

. . . thats cool . . . the RB25DET AUTO is still pretty gutsy . . . it looks in good nic . . . 8 grands on the high side of round about right for a clean one . . . :down: . . .

. . . though i must admit id be terrified of hitting a pot hole with 20in rims . . . not a lot of rubber there between the rim & the road !!! :)

    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
