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.

cheers dude,

i'll see if Tharaka of 'Both Hands' graphic design (who took the shots) can provide some bigger ones.

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.

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 :)

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
