Ok well spent a bit of money on her today, took it into the workshop and has the idle valve replaced and some minor things adjusted, when she was in I asked them to replace my thrust bearing in the clutch which has been noisy for ages. Worked out it was the input shaft bearing in the gearbox itself,

Could not be arsed pulling the gearbox out and opening it up just to replace one thing and pay for all that.

Made some calls and Neil from Adelaide Jap Dismantlers did me a price through my work for an imported very low km gearbox. $550 outright, normally $700 changeover keeping my spare gearbox. so I had that picked up today and My workshops fitting it Monday with new red line fluid, so spent close to a grand on her all up, thinking about keeping her again,

I'm in two minds.

Jesus Christ why is this car still here.

All aspects of this car and performance has been addressed in the proper way and it's legal as well as powerful with massive amounts of adjustment . Am I missing something? People are selling stock 32s with higher ks that this. I don't even have people wasting my time with test drives. No money to be spent, the issue of noisy input shaft bearing was fixed with an entirely new gearbox and just fixed the air conditioning for summer to make it crispy cold.

  • 4 weeks later...

ok well i get asked a bit is the car still for sale, yes it is but im unsure on the price,

i have recently had the ac system replaced and revamped fully (no f**king way im doing summer without %100 aircon)

obviously put a new tip top gearbox in

also tinted the windows properly

about to fit new tires maby new wheels

just fitted new HIDs

about to re service and re-tune with a few little things to address so it is for sale but things need to be discussed.

not that anyone serious has brought money to me so far, pm or sms me anytime

even though this is turning into more of a build thread :P

Goodluck with the sale mate, very impressive for the price. Chin up, I've seen skyline sales literally go on for about 12 months before.

Ok last chance. $10000 and I have just put splitfire coil packs in it with new plugs.

Have now got new car coming and the time has come to cut my losses.

Sorry its still here mate, if this was for sale earlier in the year would have snapped up it straight away.

Coming up to xmas I think you may have a few issues though might be worth holding on to it and trying early next year?

Goodluck with it though.

Nope, got to go.

Recently spent with receipts...

New gearbox fitted $1100

New ac parts,rewire to suit ecu and regass $300

Tint $300

Split fires fitted $700

The dropped the price to well $9990 on car sales, I expect it to go fairly quickly

Ire state buyers welcome, easy as it comes with all the engineering paperwork and certificates as well as regency paperwork from as gov.

Almost thinking about prating out ifi had the time, would be easy to get money from the parts and sell an engendered shell, or keep it forms rainy day. Engineering costs thousands, can't throw that away.

wow last post looks drunk, thats forums on phones for you.

still here, still getting stupid offers, please if you want to give me a stupid offer, pop it in an email and miss type my address, would be appreciated.

come and drive it you will see what im on about

I've seen this car around a few times, very similar to my old car

Good luck with the sale, unfortunatley I won't be in the market for a few months yet

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
