Hey all.

Due to a change in circumstances, my project R31 has to go. Its a white 1988 Series 3 TI sedan. The 30 is gone, in its place is 25/30. Read on below for what it has.

First and foremost, for pictures of where its at right now, CLICK HERE!!!

Condition:Engine BRAND NEW never started, gearbox internals refurbished, car is what you would expect for its age. Pretty straight all round, clean, interior is all there but could use a clean. No a/c, stereo, cruise control. Power windows are still in place.

Description:OK here goes, this is all taken off the invoice, which i am happy to show to real buyers.

RB30 block given the full treatment by Chilton Engineering, balanced blueprinted etc.

ROSS/ACL Race Series Pistons

T04Z 0.84 A/R

Tial 44mm wastegate

Spool forged steel connecting rods

Manifold 6 Boost manifold

Custom made Inlet Manifold with 80mm billet throttle body - made by RIPS NZ

ACL Race Series Conrod Bearings

ACL Race Series Main Bearings

Tomei Restrictors

ARP Main Studs

ARP Head Studs

ASR 8L Gated and Baffled Sump

Crank Collar - custom job i'm told made of 7071 steel

Power Enterprise Metal Head Gasket - for comp ratio of 8.5-1

Gates Timing Kit

Oil and water lines - care of ENZED

Second Hand R32 GTR intercooler - used only for the purposes of sorting out custom I/C piping

Refurbished clutch fan

Brand new engine and gearbox mounts

RE4RO1A Gearbox from an R33

Beefed up internals

3000rpm torque convertor

Manual/semi auto whatever ya want to call it valve body

MV autos in adelaide did all work - very well known name in the nissan automatic gearbox world

In addition to these, which are in the car, i have a set of R33 brake calipers, discs, HR31 struts, as well as a few left over pieces of brakes and suspension all over the garage. Koni height adjustables for the rear spring to mind.

There is probably more but i will go thru it all with the right person(s)

Location: Cairns

Contact Details: PM me, email or get me on the phone on 0410 594 978. I have shitty reception, so if i dont answer straight away i aint being rude.

Asking Price: $10 000 ono. I'm realistic, if you make a real offer it will be considered.

Pick-up/Postage Arrangements: Happy to help organise postage etc with potential buyer, but at your expense obviously.

Other Comments: The car doesnt run. It only needs an ECU, injectors and a decent fuel pump and your looking at a 500hp+ car once tuned. I am getting married next year, have a honeymoon to pay for, work has slowed down a little and a bit of a tax problem. I will not have the funds to finish this thing for a few years and its such a waste to let it go untouched over that time. Its open to any inspection.

Thanks for looking.

hey man its hard to move a vehicle such as this in nth qld despite its incredible potential

perhaps sell the engine and suspension seperate,

or maybe organise shipping to brissy?

but if i were u id try to sell it on r31skylineclub.com or even calaisturbo.com it will get alot more interest

last resort ebaY there 25/30's alone goin for 8k or cant beleive im sayin this..... but boostcrusing

it took me 6 months to sell my 350hp r31 and that was running with many jap parts: projectors , alot of r31 house shit and 18"wheels

beats me why ??

anyway GL with sale mate...

Not willing to sell the turbo seperate.

Would seperate the engine and gearbox if there is interest.

Not smart enough to attach any pics here. Email me if your serious.

Chris.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
