Hey guys,

I am having a "I really want a Toyota Celsior" moment, but also wouldn't mind sliding back into a Cressy either.

I have a 1989 Nissan R31 Ti Skyline with an RB25DET and 25DET manual box, build threads are somewhere hanging around.

Features on the dirty 1:

RB25DET, high-mount china turbo rebuilt by CGC to GT35 specs (have receipts)

Turbosmart 44mm external gate

One month old full 3in exhaust system, over diff, new muffler, quiet as. Screamer pipe with a section that can be plumbed in/taken out.

Intercooler mounted up high with the radiator - cannot see this from the front. Full stealth mode.

Apexi Power FC

GReddy electronic boost controller; 15psi hi, 12psi lo, 10psi off

Have dyno-read outs. 270rwkW on 15psi. The latest one (a week before I had bought it) was in the afternoon at a dyno-day with the workshop admitting their dyno reads low and made 253rwkW on 15psi.

Will be getting it tuned again very soon by Uni Group Engineering.

Emotion coilovers all round - 12kg F/10kg R

HR31 (import) brakes and hubs up front

Minispool with 4.11:1 final drive ratio

Ti Skyline stockies with new Kumho tyres all round

Standard interior with full electrics, minus an aftermarket steering wheel. CD player and two subs in boot.

Heaps of other things. Car is fantastic to drive. Exterior has a couple faults - I had a drift incident a while ago, so the bonnet is slightly dented and the grill cracked. I have a new grill. I am waiting for my guitar to sell, and am getting the entire car resprayed. This can be done before a trade, or without. Either way.

I run the car on 12psi all day every day. I have done two drift events in it, and was fantastic all day every day. Except when a cooler pipe blew, but oh well. That was fixed, obviously.

I have a lot of pics, so PM me if you are interested. Is a tidy car overall, and will suit someone who wants to go sideways at a million Ks an hour. I drive the car every day.

Registered until September this year. Is NOT engineered in NSW, but it is in QLD. I am keen to drive up for the right car.

FOR OUTRIGHT SALE: Chasing 6500ono!

Please note that a deal for the SSRs to come with the car will have to be made as they are not mine. They are for sale seperately for $700, but for 6.8 you can have them and I'll pass the 700 to the rightful owner.

Wheels that will come with the car are the Ti stockies with near new Kumho tyres, plus 16x10 +25 and 16x8 +/-0 wedge-style steelies.

Contact me on either [email protected] or 0401 198 992.

Cheers!

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
