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.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
