Hi everyone. Regrettably the time has come to let go of my second love I’ve owned for the last 2 years. I’m going to be downgrading to a cheaper, more practical daily – The time has now come for me to start looking for a property, so I need any boost with finance I can get. If you're looking for a gorgeous, clean series 3 with sensible modifications owned by an enthusiast, this is the car for you! The details of the car are as follows:

Make: Nissan Skyline

Model: BCNR33 – Series 3

Year: March 97'

Vin Code: BCNR33 041297 (Nissan Fast screen shot added here)

Color: QM1 White

Kms: 106,000~

Registration: Expires July 2013

RWC: Yes

Price: $24,000 (standard exhaust/suspension) – I’m open to reasonable offers. Looking to offload within 30 days due to RWC! Great car with heaps of goodies and very well cared for.

Location: NW Melbourne

I am the first owner of this car having purchased completely standard from Southern Special Vehicles in Oakleigh for $25,000 with ~76.000km on the odometer in June 2010 – This was by far the cleanest, unmolested example series 3 I could find, so I snapped it up. In the last 2 years I have spent close to $20,000 on modifications and religious regular servicing – Most of the work has been done by the professional guys at Protek Automotive in Thornbury. The general condition is better than you would expect of a 15 year old car – The paint is in very good condition, which minor stone chips on the front bar and blemishes on the rear spoiler. The interior is in great condition (Non-smoker), and there’s no bolster wear or tears in the seats, and the steering wheel is also in good nick. Wheels have slight gutter rash from daily use. Car will be sold with standard exhaust and suspension fitted as required for RWC. This car has been my daily, and she’s never let me down! Here’s the list of modifications that I’ve completed:

HKS Hyper-D coilover suspension (will be supplied at extra cost)

Work - Emotion XD9 18x10 +18 MGM set (currently has 255 Bridgestone tyres ~70%)

Clear Nismo side + front indicators

Pioneer Head-Unit+ Speakers 6" 210watt 3-way

Tinted windows

Nismo Gear Knob

Mines 320km/h Cluster

NSK-7172SO Excedy Sports Organic Clutch

Turbo-back exhaust (will be supplied at extra cost)

Bosch 044 in-tank fuel pump

600cc Sard Injectors

Apexi PowerFC + H/C

2860-7 turbochargers

Gates Racing Cam Gears

Clear Cam cover

K&N Panel Filter

New 42mm Alloy Radiator including new thermostat

Turbosmart E-Boost Street Boost Controller

Carbon fibre air duct inserts.

The car has had Its major 100,000km service including Gates Racing timing belt, pulley, studs and seals. All fluids were flushed and recharged including attessa fluid, both diffs, gearbox and transfer case conducted 8/4/11. Last service of motor oil/filter/plugs conducted less than 5000km ago. Comp test was completed showing 140 across all cylinders prior to any modifications. Currently performs with 276.8awkw @ 18psi on a safe tune. Car doesn’t skip a beat and never knocks over 20. I have all receipts.

*THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE WORKSHOP UNDERGOING MODIFICATIONS FOR RWC – IT WILL COME FITTED WITH STANDARD EXHAUST AND SUSPENSION – IT WILL COME BACK WITH NEW BRAKES AND DRIVESHAFT BOOTS FITTED IN THE COMING WEEK OR SO.*

I will throw in perfect working order standard turbos, and another pair of high-flowed R33 N1 turbos that need the seals replaced. You may have the aftermarket cat-back exhaust and suspension at an extra cost.

The only downside to this car is the 2860-7 turbos I purchased second hand over a reputable member of the forums has a small whine to it. They were tested prior to fitting and were in perfect working order with no shaft play what-so-ever and did not feel rough when spun by hand. Once installed the whine was present and has been that way since February 3rd this year. The car has performed flawlessly and does not affect it at all. I had it all tested in-case there were any vacuum leaks, but was determined a bearing inside the turbo might minor damage due to sitting around for a long period of time or possibly dropped. I just haven’t had the time or coin to rectify this, so that’s why I’m throwing in my two sets of turbo’s to the new buyer as an added incentive.

I’m looking to sell this car within 30 days of the RWC expiring – I’m open to offers from serious buyers. You’re more than welcome to ask any questions/drive the car whenever you like.

You can contact me on 0406948342 or PM me on here.

Regards

Steve.

*I'LL BE ADDING UPDATED PHOTOS WHEN THE CAR COMES BACK INTO MY POSSESSION - INCLUDING INTERIOR AND MORE ENGINE BAY SHOTS*

Hi guys, people have been messaging asking why I'm not providing my aftermarket suspension and exhaust in the sale. I initially wanted $25,000 for the car in this tough market, so I thought I could drop it without these parts and leave them up to the new owner on what suspension/exhaust setup they see fit. After some thought I'd be happy to throw them in for any potential buyer if they wish - I consider myself to be a fair and generous guy, so don't be afraid to ask any questions and throw offers my way. Having said that I wont just be giving this away, she's too good for that.

I will consider swaps for an '03-'05 WRX wagon + cash my way - I'll be looking at one this week as a potential replacement, so I'll keep you updated as to what happens with that. I also forgot to mention the car recently had new nolathane bushes fitted to the castor rods.

Regards.

Believe me I want to keep her - I've been holding off doing this for months. I've just come to a point where I need to make some short term sacrifices to help fund a long term goal.

I just hope somebody will get enjoyment out of this car as they are becoming rare to find.I've currently got a couple of interested parties in line to have a look at the car - I'll keep this thread up-to-date on its status.

Cheers.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
