ben: seems a little steep for a non turbo GTS

my mate got a 1994 (r33) GTS4: 10 cd stacker, all the usual skyline bits plus the 4WD and ABS off the GTR.. 6 months rego, safety certificate, and 77,000km (very genuine). This thing was almost as clean as it came out of the factory.. 13,900 he paid just on the weekend.

most mods aren't worth much in the end price.

Yeh i can only use 1 cam gear anyway, the vct gear on the inlet side i can't change. i'd like to do tyres then exhaust then suspension/chassis setup.

front and rear sway bar can do wonders to your handling.

i recommended Bilstein with Kings for your suspension. I had a quote b4 and its about 1.5k all up.

step by step Nick... that's how you get there.

just before i leave.. here is the one my mate just bought as a reference ben..

NISSAN SKYLINE GTS-4 1994, Gunmetal Grey, Coupe, 79000kms, 5sp, non turbo, 4WD, ABS, power everything, 10 stacker CD, 10/04 rego, immaculate

that was from the trading post..there was another for $12k, but that sold on friday..

Mildura was actually where i bought my car actually.. private sale..

there is an airport there.. from melb it was i think $80 trip one-way.. i flew there and drove hte R33 back to melb.. i still remember that really well even though it was a while ago now.

Yeh thats the best way i guess, then you can get used to each little thing you do to the car, example would be servicing the car. Can feel the difference with all the little things like brakes, engine and stuff like that. i'm thinking of the whiteline sway bars after my exhaust.....

things to do:

1. Tyres

2. Exhaust

3. Sway bars

that car was literally the cleanest GTS (or gts-t for that matter) i have ever seen..

even the floor mats looked not even used.. no scuffs even on the door panels.. amazing..

so there are plenty of good cars out there for around $12-13k if you look

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
