Fs: R31 Skyline , Manual Series 2 Ti W/rb25Det


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

The time has come to sell my beloved Ti...

It's an R31 Skyline Ti with an RB25DET (which has been rebuilt in aus, cant remember how many km but it wasn’t much - only just fitted with brand new excedy HD clutch). These are factory auto, I converted it with the old engine using an RB20DET gearbox and a freshly reconditioned tail shaft (tight).

It has an over shimmed LSD (which has never opened, so call it 'locked') full Nolethane bushes just fit throughout the car (500km ago), its incredibly low with Whiteline springs that have had the progression 'removed', normal healthy shocks, Whiteline HD front and rear sway bars and strut brace so it handles pretty well but there isn’t much travel ...

It has S3 hotplates, a genuine MOMO ~ 280-300mm(?) steering wheel and genuine 80's spec BBS wheels (16x7), something like 10% tint all around.

Car is pretty straight, there is not accident damage but a couple dints here and there, paint is in pretty bad condition with the typical Nissan metallic fade over the bonnet roof and boot, and it is missing the chrome strip ont he rear bumper.

Would be an ideal drifter, or a really good street car with a bit of love (and maybe some higher springs...).

It has new tyres, new brake pads...

Engine has Splitfire coil packs, factory R33 piping and SMIC, Drift manual boost controller but runs stock boost (never had the chance to wind it up (need gauge/timing light),full mandrel 3" turbo back (inc dump) de-cat exhaust, I think a 3L stainless surge tank with a Bosch 044 external fuel pump, 55mm alloy radiator with electric thermo fan, 500ml generic plub back catch can.

Has the blue velour interior in pretty good condition, car doesn’t have any major issues just a couple minor wiring gremlins – It has a Kenwood CD player that keeps blowing the audio fuse but I’ve never bothered to fix it since it’s not a priority, atm the tacho doesn’t work as it needs the inline resister as per R31 skyline club guide, also the Speedo drops in and out which is a recent issue – probably just the wiring under gearbox.

Comes with a couple bits, brand new DBA4000 slotted/cross drilled rotors, leftover Nolethane bushes, some other random R31 parts (R31 std. LSD (worn but good if you don’t want it locked), rear struts w/stock springs, dash bits whatever you want).

Not really sure what its worth, asking $4,300 registered atm - its worth more than that in parts excluding the amount of time I've put into it, but after a quick sale so I am negotiable.

(Will sell for ~ $500 less without rims, less again if you dont want it registered as its about to lapse)

Some pictures attached, should get more/better ones soon, you can see the fade in the pictures of it on the track.

This is a video to hear and see how healthy it is (and the catch can setup):

I would be all over this for a dedicated little track car (so I stop thrashing my poor street r33) if I had space in the yard still... I should knock the neighbours fence down, they probably wouldn't notice.

Good luck with the sale mate :)

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
