Meh, RB20 is better than whatever was in there previously anyway. Besides if you were buying it, you would want to be able to legally register it to drive on the road more preferably.

story:

bought it in 1996... yes thats right i have had the car 14 years....

it was never orginasl when i bought it, it had been fitted with a L28 with 240z 3bolt hitatchi's

it came off the road in 01' to have some serious cancer chopped out of it....

that when over 3 years...

then my first devorce, where it fell of the face of the planet to keep out of x wifes hands, and the head went finally for a 3rd time ( got sick of repairing sourcing L block 6 cyl heads)

so i was talking into updating it with a newer motor drive train senario..... hence the 20det.....

it went thru some serious brake upgrades and suspension work too...

then the diff went....

took 3 years to source a reliable bolt in substitute.... hence the hilux... bolted straight in with very minimal fuss....

only came back out of the shed for all jap day this year....

canty really afford to have a car sitting there, not being used, was nevere orignal nor did i claim it, the GUYS from the Prince Skyline GT register ( my club), recon i have done the best i could probly do with the car....

I have kept the fklavour of the original 6 with a modern updatwe that will make it easy to source parts and improve horse power relyably.... also with the 80lt tank ( the orginal which is 99lt) i can get up to 700km from a tank with out be conserative on the fuel

the whole car would maybe weigh in round 1000kg with a full tank...

i love the car and all, but it may be time to move on to bigger and better things....

it has had a lot of upgrades done to it, to make it better than it ever was and more reliable too...

as for taking it back to orginal, with out sinking MEGA amounts of cash in just getting the body back, IE: getting the guards both front and rear completely rebuilt/ fabricated), its probly the best your ever gonna see in a modded ol skooler.....

heh

if lex ever decides to sell his, I'll pass the info on lol - hes got a nice bayside blue stag, not sure about rooves tho

-D

pete, let me know if you're selling for sure, and how much you want for it. I might consider taking it off your hands :(

hey shan, like i say if i can get my hands on a stag, ill be happy...

Damn you Shan!

Pete give me a buzz and we'll talk. I've been looking for something old school in Japan for a while now, maybe we can work something out with importing you a nice manual C34 thrown into the mix, possibly an Autech 260RS if you prefer.

It's a very nice car indeed, I'm sure you won't have a shortage of people wanting to buy it Pete :(

I don't even think it matters a whole deal if it's the original engine or not, the car is still a classic in great condition for it's age

that'd be the best deal.

or my stag.....

lol Kristian, I just sold my 73 Camaro, and was looking at either an S30 or GC10 down the track, but having been in Marv and knowing its history I'd take it over the other two in a heartbeat. Since I'm only 75% committed atm Pete I'd almost say give it to the Chef if you want an easy deal and a Stag swapsies.

The couple of similar examples I have seen in japan recently have been priced around 20-25 grand mark (in Japan) however these were immaculate stock examples which are probably well into the 30's by the time they are imported here.

Just curious... are there any others for sale around at the moment on carsales/forums etc? perhaps you could judge from these if there are?

Car is worth easily in excess of $60k by my estimates.

Its very hard to find these GT's in such good nick standard, let alone with all the work thats been put in

Saw on on ebay.jp going in excess of 100k aud...

shame you want to sell it pete, but make sure u get many opinions on its value - you may very well get a decent amount of coin back

-D

LOL.

They lose value if they aren't matching numbers etc at that age.

No-one would pay $60k for one with an RB20.

Didnt know it had an rb20 at the time. He didnt mention that in his initial post.

-D

Yeah a restored matching numbers car would be worth big dollars, though more likely it would be in Japan. They go crazy for the old Skylines and the like. Though unfortunately I think they would only be worth like $30k keeping the price of the high demand model of Skyline in mind :)

Can't believe you are considering selling your baby Pete :thumbsup:

Definitely +1 for a deal with Christian - if he can source you a killer 260RS Stag (why not have RB26DETT GTR power while you're at it) for a swap you would be on easy street methinks. Especially if he could be lucky enough to find one in Bayside Blue (not sure if the 260RS actually came in BB though) .... very nice.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
