Hi all.

I have no idea if this is in the right section so if its not, please advise or move.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I'm going to have to sell my car to buy a 4wd of some description.

I just need to figure out if I should part it out or sell whole so I'd like some opinions.

It is a r31 pintara wagon sleeper,

Mod list:

S1 rb25 rebuilt literally 3 weeks ago.

Eagle h beams

Cp 86.5 forgies

Acl race series mains and big ends

Arp head studs and rod bolts

Head rebuilt with new seals etc all Nissan stuff.

800cc injectors

Atr43g3 internal wastegate

Full 3" exhaust

Clutch is custom exedy sports tuff but with modified pivot point and ceramic button plate

Rb25 turbo box

Bw lsd with 28 spline axles

Tein front camber adjustable coilovers

King springs in rear

Full rose jointed castor arms etc

R33 brakes

Gts wheels (r31)

Walbro 460l e85 pump

Haltech e11v2

Car looks completely stock apart from wheels. Stock interior, the lot.

In fact I have been pulled over for rbt and they haven't even looked at the car.

Was setting up for e85 but running in on 98 so still not tuned on e85.

So far it has had a street tune and done 500km and seems to go really well.

Awesome car for someone who wants a quick car but also needs

Something that is a bit practical and can take kids. Has tow bar etc.

Fully engineered and legal.

Cheers.

I don't know what your time-line is Lucas to procure that 4WD. Do you need the 4WD urgently?

If it's not urgent, you can operate with Plan A for about 3 months to sell this modified 'sleeper' as an entire car. You must have envisaged this whilst you were upgrading surely?

I say 3 months because December and January are very 'slow months' for car sales - even if they're used cars.

If you need your 4WD urgently, you might try Plan A for just 1 month until mid-December > switch to Plan B and part it out.

Methinks you'll get more money that way, and avoid the 'slow months'.

Fair call Terry. There is no real urgency to the sale. The need for the 4wd is purely due to acquiring a holiday house that is only accessible by a 4wd and my wife is not keen on driving a 4wd again. I could probably have a 4wd and this car but I'm not really in a position to do that right now. Only problem is that I have pretty much zero idea on how much my car would be worth.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
