Hi guys.

Been lurking around the forums for a while but haven't contributed much due to not having a skyline any more but I am getting the urge again!

I currently have a late 2005 BA MKii boss 260 XR8 ute 6 speed manual for sale. It is my daily and I am in real estate so I use it alot each day, hence the mileage and price

I am looking for a sale or a trade into for a skyline/supra (cash my way if needed). let me know what you have gents!

State : NSW

Make of vehicle : ford

Model of vehicle : BA MKii XR8

Year of manufacture : 2005/06

Colour of vehicle : silver

Engine : 5.4

Transmission : manual

Body style (sedan, wagon etc.) :Ute

Selling Price $ : 16000

Odometer Reading : 173000

*******************************************************************

Completely stock car. I purchased this from Ford a little under 2 years ago and it has been my daily drive for work since. Its had full service history by ford until I purchased and I have been doing servicing myself. ( qualified mechanic)

I decided to have the latest major service done with pink slip at the same time at the local garage.

Few minor marks/stonechips on the bodywork and a slight dent/mark on the passenger wing, which I suspect was from a cb aerial of some description. It was there when I purchased the car.

Comes with rego and RWC until June 2012 . Car drives straight and true but with typical ford knocks on the drivetrain.

Had a new ECU approx a year ago by ford due to the old one flexing when hot causing the car to shut down.

It has recently started to rattle due to timing chain guides wearing as they are made from plastic. This is a very common problem with BA engines and they all do it prior to '06. I will be replacing these with metal items as soon as they get here from the states.

    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo :-D

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
