170rwkw @ Morpowa, same as above, but with gtr pump and mega rich mixtures.

PB of 1:27:00 @ Mallala.

On top of all that, its getting a brand new pair of kumho KU36's on the front in the coming days (rrp $560), the old KU36's will be moved to the rear.

There's a new set of A1RM rear pads coming ($119).

And I'll throw in a set of blitz 550cc injectors, an ATS carbon single plate clutch (that needs a rebuild), and if wanted, i may be able to arrange a Z32 afm with plug for an additional $200.

I'll also be including, 4 stockies, 2 with legal tread, 2 without, standard dump and front pipe, standard drivers seat, standard struts/arms/rod ends, standard front bar, standard intecooler/pipe work/bov, standard boost solenoid, spare rear garnish, spare bootlid w/out spoiler (does have holes).

I'm happy to remove parts to make it more affordable.

I am however, in no rush to sell it, keep that in mind.

Now for the nitty gritty, yes, it has been tracked (3 times), and yes, it has been driven hard, there no point hiding that.

However, its been religiously maintained, I don't stick to a service schedule so much as service it whenever I believe it's appropriate... or have nothing better to do. As such, it's been serviced with quality oils (at first, motul, more recently; elf excellium) and filters (nissan, and more recently k&n) every couple thousand kays (about 9 times since purchase). It's most recent service was 2 weeks ago, changed oil, filter, plugs, fuel filter, and fitted a brand new k&n air filter. I'll be servicing it again in the coming days.

A compression test was performed mid last year for peace of mind, came back with 141-145 across the board, a leak down test was performed at the same time and returned results within factory tolerances.

A suspension safety checked was performed recently, with everything showing up apples, but, the steering rack bushes are starting to show wear.

And its passed regency with minimal work, standard wheels, borrowed standard exhaust (or baffle plate), standard boost controller, removed gauges, standard seat, and it's through without incident.

Now for the bad. there are a couple small chips in the paint, and some poorly repaired parking lot damage to the rear drivers side guard. I'll get pics of all this up later... and that's about it.

Basically, as it is, it's an lsd and a remap away from being whatever you want, drift car, grip car, hills car, or just leave it as is and have a bullshit tough streeter, it's up to you.

just realised, ive basically copypasta'd this from a build thread and some of the coding didnt come along with it.

so i should probably point out that only the work equips and stockies are included in the sale, the other 2 sets have been sold.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

Saturday 30th August 2025 7:00AM Meeting Hanna Park North Richmond 7:30AM Departure Cruise Via Bells of Line Road 9:00AM Arrival to Stop 1: Golden Poplars Meadow Flat 9:45AM Arrival to Final Destination: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit Meet Location: Hanna Park North Richmond Stop 1: Golden Poplars Meadow Flat Final Destination: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit   *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
