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.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
