Hi guys,

Looking at swapping my 5.0L VT Calais.

-160,000kms

-White

-Tan interior

-Lowered on new KYB shocks and lowered springs

-Nolathane bushes

-Pacemaker extractors & full system

-20% tint (Very dark)

-LPG fitted about 6 months ago (with larger than standard converter = more performance and still under warranty)

-Extended platinum warranty (approx $1400 worth - 4.5 years remaining!!)

-Huge service just performed including: New water pump, every radiator / heater hose, heater tap, thermostat, thermostat housing, all fan / alt / AC belts, coolant, Oil, oil filter, air filter, leads, dissy cap, rotor button, platinum plugs etc etc etc. (Big dollars)

The car is pretty well immaculate, will not find a cleaner VT Calais 5.0L out there. - I know, as I looked around for months before i bought this one.

Dont be put off by it been V8 either - It cost approx $40 to fill (70L useable litres @ approx 55-58c P/L). It gets about 350kms round town, and about 450-480kms on the highway.

I dont have any pics at the moment, just google a white VT Calais, add dark tint and lower it. thats how it looks lol.

Looking for a fairly stock turbo manual skyline. (exhaust, front mount etc etc ok, but not interested in something that will never get off defect if it gets done)

Or a nice Stagea.

Hi, sorry I cant PM.

How much cash do you feel your car is worth?

I have a 1995 R33 manual with 126K on the clock.

mods include: FMIC, stainless steel turbo back exhaust, adjustable swaybars/caster, leather look interior, 17inch rays nismo LMGT1 wheels.

I may consider a trade with cash my way.

Cheers

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
