What the hell??? Now up to $7,900. Very, very odd. Guess the old skylines have appreciated in value this week.

Correction! Now $8600 and not reached reserve.

I guess someone will buy it and we will find them on here trying to sort it out.

It is likely the motor is stuffed or nearly, as if not driven or run correctly they glaze the bores and then burn oil and become throw aways as I have seen on many occassions, but we will just have to wait and see.

I am the guy who brought the car , had all the fluids change & driven about 1200 kms & had no problems . have owned several cars in my time restored / unrestored & this is the best . currently a feature in australian classic car . if you are in a newsagency worth a look .

That's great news, not sarcastic, fact! Because a mate of mine bought an 1984 KB Laser off a priest in 2002 and it had 35000k on the dial, yet had a recond motor. When he questioned the priest as to why, he was told "I didn't drive it very often and when I did it wasn't very far, so the motor never got warmed up and at 25000k I had to put a new motor in it because the original one was worn out and burning lots of oil" hence why my comments went along the lines they did.

It goes to show that Mr Nissan knows how to build tough engines that can stand in the test of time and still be as good as when new without going anywhere.

Doesn't matter really what you paid for it only in todays climate it was probably to much, but sure as a lot less than the $15000.00 that was being asked on ebay closing today.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
