I might be able to spare some space in my front yard if you are able to get it here and praps come to some arrangement. ;)

Remember which parts of your car I expressed interest in the other day?

I'll have to discuss with the Mrs. But if it wasn't sitting round for tooooo looooong and was always under a car cover, could potentially be doable. :thumbsup:

The sheer number of people mentioning insurance is really doing my head in....there couldn't possibly be that many people crazy enough to pay the ludicrous premiums asked by insurance companies to insure such a vehicle, could there? I remember when I first got the car I was quoted over $4000 per year. f**king joke lol

It's almost certainly going to be parted out. The kind of buyer that would buy it for a reasonable amount WITHOUT this damage is also the kind of buyer that wouldn't be overly phased by it, since they're likely buying it for a track project or will be completely overhauling the looks of the car anyway...

I can't recall what parts you were after lol, but I'll see :P Honestly though, I don't want to feel pressured to get it out of the way ASAP, which is why I wouldn't necessarily want to take you up on this. I have no idea how long it would take to do, I don't have stuff like an engine crane to remove the major part, and you're about as far away from my place as you can get haha

Insurance for my 33 (in dads name, with me listed as a driver) is like $1300 a year but it's only insured for like $12000.

Anyway, do the vipec/link 33 gtst ecus also suit 34 gtts? I dont think they do, but If so I might know someone.

I'm 24 now, and wouldn't bother insuring it in someone else's name coz premiums+excess would pretty much make the payout on a write-off worthless unfortunately.

I've got no idea if the ViPEC works for RB25DET NEO sorry...it may very well, since it's massively versatile...but yeah I dunno. Would be one of the easier parts to sell anyway lol

Yeah it's not ideal for you but it's an option if you need it, and as I'm renting, I wouldn't want it floating (boating) around for ever, but a few months covered up (I have car cover) would not be an issue. Hell, I could even help you pull out the bits! Good afternoon entertainment.

I'll give you hint on the parts I expressed interest in. :rofl::rofl:

hahahaha I like that hint, very smart.

I'll let you know mate, really would rather just set it on fire right now but we'll see how I go :P

you going to get another one? just like a $5000 special 32 or something?

Nope. If I was gonna buy another Skyline, I'd get a clean, tidy, straight stock standard R33 s2 for like $8k and just transplant all my mods from this one over to it.

However I really do think I've had enough of the 'performance car' experience. Too many headaches lol

Hahahaha!

Your only 24, drive a normal car for 6 months and tell me that again.

It is possible you can get over it but not likely.

I just think your feeling a bit down today.

Power is addictive. Good luck.

Oh, I'm never gonna get over the driving side of owning a performance car...but I'm beyond done with spending of money constantly lol

I've got a VW Caddy as my daily. 75kw at the fly, 1.6L TDi. I think I know how boring a normal car is to drive :P

buy mine for 10k and just strap your turbo and wheels on it and your golden ;)

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
