Hey I definitely don't want to kill Chris's sale, but that is the harsh reality of modified cars. But you also have to consider that for $6,500 you are only paying for the engine and associated gear, gearbox and mods - it is a bargain.

It's a paperweight (to me in my personal situation) if I can't register it, I don't have the funds to buy a tow car and all the associated stuff for a track car. Nor do I have the space, time and money to buy a shell and transfer everything into it.

a laugh at 2.5k.... no way 2.5k for a 260rwkw line with the parts I have... just the manifold, 3.5 dump and external waste gate cost over 2.5k... what about the engine management and boost control thats another thousand then you have the rims the suspension and the rest of the exhaust theres another 2.5 to 3k. And then you have a dogbox. Huge oil cooler the size of a radiator and cooler The blow off valves-two of - now thats prob more than 6.5k just there..... and then you have the car and motor.... heheheheee what a laugh.... it says 6.5k firm - thats firm with defect,

The oil leak was just the oil spurting out of the oil dipstick when not inserted correctly and giving it a bit while still cold.... which i hardly ever did... hence all sorted.....

Agreed nightcrawler.... I would be perfectly honest to say I would be sad to part with it for that price..... I have just ordered new rear tyres too.....

It will drive back fine to qld.... I still need to buy the 20 dollar turbo gasket (being purchased tomorrow tomorrow and fit)..... that can be a pain to get the turbo off the exhaust manifold because of the amount of room under the exhaust turbine and the room between the manifold bolts and the engine....you can not get a socket and wrench in there..... I have found a shortened O spanner however made of high tensile steel in order to do it although it will still be no walk in the park.... just cracking them is the hard part once they are loosened it is easy.... :-)

buy it ---> drive it back --> de rego --> engineer --> re-rego --> skids + pics!

MMmm would be an option but i do not have the stock parts turbo low mount manifold etc i only have the gduounk parts.... i am not too sure how much the box was... I will try and find out...


$so i take it this thread must be being kept hidden either that or people would not be looking for skylines with all of the goodies for such a price.......????

You can not really ever buy a modded car for with these mods for less than $12 thousand with that sort of power.......

Interesting that it has not had any interest / or sold or people look even look into it further....

strip, sell, make more than $6k :)

or strip, sell, buy stock parts, sell car, make more than $6k

just requires effort and a few slabs of beer with your mates

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
