R33 Swap

[LNah]

Damn.... sounds much more economical than my 2. Also got a couple more questions, if you don't mind.

- From the info on the blue plate, your car seems to be an import. Was it imported through you or the owner before you?

- The original engine is non turbo. Was a RB25DET swapped into it by the owner before you?

- If an engine swap was done, were there any engineer's certs for it?

- I know there're no original logbooks as it's an import, but do you have your service history on it?

I've never driven the car anywhere but around town, it runs exactly the same as my old skyline & I once drove that from wodonga to Melbourne (300km), filled up when I got to Melbourne & it cost me $16 to top it up and the guage read just under 3/4 tank so it is very good on fuel, couldn't give you an exact indication but it's definitely good for any situation.

hello,

unfortunately i've never really liked the look of the celica's, i've heard they run well and are reliable but im afraid id have to pass on this one, i've also been hoping to swap for something a little bit newer in the last few days, it sounds like you have looked after it really well & good luck to you if your trying to sell it or swap it i'm sure there will be someone on here who is interested in swapping a skyline for a celica. catch ya mate.

no worries i dont mind skylines as they are very nice to drive. normaly i would drive my old 260z its reliable and torquey as all shit for a NA but there seems to be too many idiots out there so i dont drive it very often for fear of it being smashed into good luck with the sale as it is quite a nice car and ive seen it around and its a good example of a well maintained skyline for anyone else interested.

thanks for the kind words paul, there are allof of idiots on the road especially around here, i've driven my car to and from work for the past 6 months nothing more other then the occasional supermarket job for exactly the same reason, if you see me driving give me a wave mate cheers.

Hey man

Just got a call finally from my mechanic about my 2. Service's basically done, except that the suspensions (dampers and struts, i think) and ball joints are to be changed. So probably only be able to bring it back either tomorrow or Monday. But I'll be popping down to his shop tomorrow to take a few pictures. So once that's done, I'll post them on and tell me what you think.

bump.

Is this the same car as the one that you blocked off the turbo? and then had problems trying to put the turbo back, then had problems after putting the turbo back?

indeed its the same car & indeed i required some help from other SAU members with more knowledge then me but i dont know where your getting the info that i am still having problems with the car because its been running great ever since, go back and read the end of that forum what i posted the other day & you'll realize theres no problems with the car..

obviously appart from the recent problem with the coil pack that got replaced but nothing else has gone wrong with it, it was running great before the faulty coil pack and its running great again after it got replaced..

[s2d4]

You did have problems with it then asked for help on what to do coz the car with turbos is not running like before you ripped the turbos off. No info how it was fixed. Then a couple of months later you said it is running fine now. so how was it fixed?

yeh i i had a faulty ignition lead & it was making the car run bad, one of the lead ends would always cut in and out while i was driving.. i didnt find that out till after i posted all that stuff.. the ignition lead got REPLACED that same week i quoted one genuine for $232 from melbourne & organized to buy one from a SAU member because it was only $60 delivered, i posted in the 'wanted to buy' section asking for anyone with a lead, im sure you can find this if you need to be proven a point.. that was such a minor thing that i didnt even worry about posting it, after i replaced the lead the car was great, all my coil packs & lead got checked on tuesday this week by a mechanic & he replaced where the fault was so everythings great, no problems.. nothing to worry about..

[s2d4]

thanks for clearing it up man, no need to be defensive just an honest enquiry since I am looking for one. I was reading through that thread and saw that you were selling it which lead me to this one. Didn't make much sense so yeah.
