My God.

That is THE nicest skyline I have seen in a long, long, long time. I nearly want bigger pics for desktop backgrounds. Its more than immaculate.

Whoever ends up with this is one lucky son of a bitch.

You should make it a condition of sale that the new owner joins SAU and does at least one cruise a year.

I can only question one modification: the Nismo badge.

I didn't get the feeling that indicators and brake lines were the most important things on the car to you...why credit Nismo over anyone else?

(I have a genuine Nismo 'aero' front bar, and after all your talk about your east bear kit - looks awesome, I agree - I thought you'd have an East Bear Badge...)

i like the offset look, and unfortunately it would just look weird with the EB badge. It's the GTS-R badge and is meant to sit central in the front grille but it it just looks like an R badge, same as having it on the boot lid, it's too hard to see the 'S', so it just looks like a GTR badge.

I still have the original East Bear stickers as well, actually a variety of EB stickers came with it and the badge of course but wasn't really my thing really. I prefer a cleaner look, hence no nissan badge on the bootlid etc.

new owner will get all the stickers, badge if they want to use them :bunny:

I'd be really nice if it stayed on SAU, that's for sure :P

Hi

Thanks for the PM. Sorry I cant reply yet. I was looking for a white one but if I had the budget I would buy this. Its just a bit more than I can afford at the minute. If you dont sell for a while give me a call and I will see what i can do.

0429142741

Thanks

Danny.

Trent @ Status did a compression test a few months back, but i can't remember what i did with all the #'s, he said compression test was great and very even across all cylinders, but i thought i'd get another one done as people might prefer an independent test.

Soo....

Chasers Motorworks, one of the top import workshops in Melb did a test for me, twice, and the results....

They were very happy with it, said it was running very well and said those numbers were pretty much perfect :)

I knew she was in good health, but didn't know she was that healthy :P I guess if you look after it, and make sure you have a great tuner, i suppose it shouldn't be so much of a surprise.

She's not just a pretty face :(

Im so amazed this hasnt sold, the one over here in WA sold pretty quick yet a porn black one hasnt? I dont understand.

Im still trying to talk the wife into letting me sell the 4 door and get this, its just not working :)

Also agree must stay in the community, THE nicest GT-T in AUS.

Price drop!

$29,990 :P

in case people haven't been keeping track, E85 is soon to be widely available across oz. This is car is ready to roll for either E85 or 98, and of course maps will be provided along with a USB consult cable to change.

And if you really wanted, you can install an ethanol content sensor in the fuel tank and load the correct map accordingly, or have a trick ECU interpolate between two maps :O

In a month or two, this is where it will be available.

man i think you should just keep it lol. still cant believe your selling it and its not sold yet. my car was a POS compared to this with not much price difference comparing how much more your car is better then what mine was. you will find a buyer eventually.

im thinking about putting the chaser back up for sale and jumping in another skyline again.

come back in style mate :worship: Would be great for it stay within SAU, let alone within SAU Vic! And a big plus is you've got Trent here who knows the car backwards pretty much if you wanted to play a bit with it :)

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • 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.
