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 thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
