Throwing this up in here in the hope of getting this done close to home.

For sale: 1997 EL Falcon XR6

*Body-352000km

*Engine replace and diff reco about 120000km ago

The good:

*4 brand new tyres

*New radiator, fuel filter and front rotors

*aftermarket exhaust

*Made roadworthy a couple of weeks ago, thinking that the certificate may expire before the transfer is completed, but in any case shouldn't be hard to get another one.

The bad:

*Small piece of surface rust on the roof(about the size of a 50c piece). Can be fixed with touch up paint.

*Tyres rub on the arm. I have been told that this may be able to be corrected with a wheel alignment and it is not a big deal.

*slight fluid leak from the diff

*came with a little front end cosmetic and headlight damage. I have repaired a majority of this inc a replacement set of LHS headlights

Should be able to get more pictures up later this week.

Bought this about a month ago as a replacement for my MR30 skyline, but after driving my MR30 on the weekend have actually decided I like the skyline better, and would prefer to upgrade to another R30/R31 instead.

Keen for swaps with an R30/R31 manual with low k's with cash adjustment but let me know what you have!

Other than that, if you want to buy it outright I am chasing around 4K neg.

new exhaust

i'll stop whoring now. actually can you please send pics to me, the falcon should be able to tow a car yeah?

  • 2 weeks later...

Still got MT4 and R30. Will get to it when I get some time and money(soon hopefully :( ). Is it true you now have a DR30?

And the falcon's diff is now fixed! It didn't actually need to be rebuilt, it just needed some sealant on the thread to stop it leaking out the thread/spline after the seal had been replaced.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
