do some research... when an import has rail damage its because it was loded in japan via a forklift, the reason why they doent drive them on is because they normally have accident damage and are undriveable.

A mate of mine used to import and go to japan quite regularly, he said you could buy smacked up imports cheap and get em sent back to oz and repair them before sale.

Hence a cheap car, a few panels an paint and Big $$$ profit.

undamaged cars were driven on container ships and parked next to each other.

Therefore no signs under the car of forklift damage.....

Makes sense, thank god RAWS has come in to police the industry, it was soooo corrupt.

Another note for first time buyers is on the front of the engine there is the timing cover, a good way to tell if the engine/ car has done over 100,000 kms is to look at the top of the timing case, if there is an area that looks like it had a rectangular sticker/placard on it but has since been removed, that is the 100kms service placard from Nissan!

I saw that on a car that only had 18,000kms ... it was obvious that the clock was spun and the placard removed.

prolly same thing everyone else. I went there when i was looking for a car. Guy told me I could test drive one of his cars if a) I paid a deposit FIRST, B) HE was driving

 

Wonder why he went up???

Went there back in 2001 looking at a 300zx 93'model. fell in love with a car, organized a test drive time. Came back two days later at the organized time, the bloke said the car wouldn't be ready till 12noon. I said i would come back on my lunch break. Came back get ignored untill i went into the office, and asked what was going on then the M/F says to "are you serious about looking for a car? or are you just wasting my time?"

Pulled out my deposit said its ok i'll go some where else. RedLine didn't mind taking my business from me and got a nice R33 GTT from them.

Hope all there business goes to Motorcity! All the people i know who bought cars from them have had probs.

I was under the impression that the sticker was a warning sticker stating you must change the timing belt every 100,000kms - and that all skylines have it, or at least are supposed to to be complied?????

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
