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

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
