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

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
