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

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
