Picking up this tasty treat Thursday. I'm gunna be out of here veeeeerry early Thursday morning.

Do you know it's exceptionally very expensive to transport this car with the parts in it. Just a box in the boot means the diferrence between $600 & $1000.00 and they don't want to know anything.

It's going to cost me about $300.00 Diesel, $170.00 accommodation for a couple of nights + meals and 1500k on the car.

Cheers, D

Cant answer that question, only that they do & I tried to discuss a spare tyre and they say that's part of the car, but I couldn't convince them so I'm picking it up and having a holiday for a couple of days. Feast on some local seafood and imported beverage.

It is all to do with insurance coverage (particularly public liability) for the transport company. Insurers hate unknown risks so the policy issued to the transport company does not cover items that are not part of the car. They have to procure excess insurance coverage if there are additional items, hence the increased cost and administrative hassle.

It's back in town. Cost of fuel up and back was excellent, used just on 200L for round trip of just over 1600k and it's heaps better in the flesh. Was a private import in 1985 and quite possibly a custom order, as it has an R200 diff under the ass end. Not a stock item in an povity pack KHR30 Skyline.

I'm going to do a FAST check on the chassis number, but I expect it to be built 1982 or there abouts.

Cheers, D

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit.

      R32 only blows hot air

      By SeanR32GtSt · Posted

      Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.

      Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
