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.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
