Hey guys, wanting to get rid of my skyline as I can't afford to keep it anymore.

Has had heaps of money spent on it in the last few years between me and the previous owners, as you'll soon see.

Unfortunately, it now needs a short motor. Compression in cylinders 2 & 5 is down to 65psi after a vac hose popped off the bottom port of the wastegate at about 5500rpm, the boost then went through the roof instantly. It now fills the catch can with oil in two days and doesn't want to make any more than about 17psi. Still drives fine off boost though.

Anyway, to the parts that are in it:

Stock rb30 with r32 rb25 head, std cams.

Adjustable cam gears.

New timing belt.

RIPS intake manifold.

id1000 injectors.

Tomei fuel pressure reg.

ARE surge tank & 044 in the boot.

TIAL blow off valve.

100mm GTR style FMIC.

Cheap stainless high mount turbo manifold.

GT35r with 66mm compressor wheel, a/r 0.5 surge ported front cover, a/r 1.06 internally gated rear housing.

Internal gate has been bolted shut and a 38mm external gate fitted, gasses plumbed back into exhaust.

3.5inch bell mouth dump pipe down to cat.

3inch cat back, one muffler at the back.

Air filter enclosure.

50mm alloy radiator, never gets too hot, ever, even in heavy traffic.

NPC 5 puck button clutch, light under foot.

Gear box has developed a light crunch shifting into 4th gear.

Cusco 2 way mechanical LSD.

New Driftworks CS1 coilovers.

New GKtech Castor rods, Camber arms, Cradle mount washers, Drift lever & button, Brake master cylinder stopper.

Sparco wheels, good tread Hero's up front and Autogrip's at the back, 235/40/18 all round.

Hicas lock bar.

Nardi deep corn 350mm steering wheel.

Grex shift nob.

GTR Zenon headlights.

Link G4 plug in ECU with USB tuning cable, controlling boost through computer also.

Car was making 400rwhp at 20psi untill the vac hose incident.

I'm in the mood to here what people would offer to buy the car as is, needing a short motor and a gearbox rebuild. I'd like to get $10,000 for it as is RWC & remaining rego.

I am more than willing to consider any serious offer.

If no reasonable serious offers are made, I will put a short motor in it with a new tune and rebuild the gearbox while the motor's out.

In that instance I would ask for $15,000 or near offer.

Photos to follow.

Wow, not even an opinion.

I'm keen to move this car along, if you have any interest in it or know someone who might, I will be pleasant to deal with, I promise.

I am interested in replacing this car with an S14 Silvia or mx5.

I will begin the repair process in a couple of weeks if there is no interest in it as is.

That's obviously not what I want to hear, I've got a lot of money tied up in this car now.

Thanks for your input though, that is what I asked for.

Maybe I'll consider parting it out?!

Parting will be a lengthy process time wise, probably get you about the same amount as you'd get selling it whole due to the fact of the buggered engine. :(

And I really don't like the idea of parting out a R33, they're a beautiful car :(

Even if the motor was healthy you would be lucky to get what you are asking unfortunately.

Your best bet would be to sell the headlights, turbo, bolt ons, gearbox and wheels as that is where the most of the money is, then part or scrap the rest.

Thanks for the input guys.

Looks like I'm going to fix it and keep it until the right person can see value in it and want it for themselves.

So, there will soon be some parts off it for sale as I'm going to change it a bit while it's apart.

GTR head lights, turbo, wheels and maybe intake manifold will most likely be looking for new homes.

Also have Sydney Kid Bilsteins for sale that came out of this car a few months ago when I put new coilovers in it.

Let me know if you're keen.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
