Hey guys,

does anyone know if this car belongs to a forum member?

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1990/SSE-AD-2178630/?Cr=0

And while i'm at it - can anyone see any glaringly obvious RWC fail issues - aside from PFC and boost controller.

Cheers

Sounds good from the advertisement - But check everything out.

Enough $$$ work done. Rebuilt - tick, good components used - tick

Special mention of replacing crank shaft - Tick

All paperwork/receipts for work - Tick

Who did the build ?

RWC Fail issues - A-Pillar dials, potentially Billstiens (height & adjustable)

Does the battery in the boot need mod plate. Is it secured properly and vented correctly. Using the Marine box is the first step. So looks like it's all good.

GTR being in Vic I'm not across your RWC requirements and the strictness of your inspection stations.

Having said that it has 17months Rego - TICK

Reason for sale ? would be nice to know. He's spent a fair bit of money for Nil return or enjoyment. (House downpayment (aka missus lulz)

Looks fair condition. But as you already know check it well or get it checked.

If all checks out I think it's good for the price and you can probs knock a grand or 2 off it.....

Any Rust ??

(Don't know it or of it. I'm in Canberra)

EDIT: Is that really OEM FMIC ? I don't think I've ever seen one...

Thanks mate, all good points. I think the rego must be a typo. Does seem strange to finish it off and then not tune it - but all questions to ask if thats the direction it goes in.

I figured it would have to be a member on here with the kind of work done.

Can't sell a registered car without a roadworthy so the plates will need to be returned meaning a full re-registration (at your expense I guess incl VAS for mods)

or

maybe he is selling it as a part out.

I'm aware of the transfer of ownership regs. I was more referring to any issues that you can foresee that would prevent a RWC - like venting catch cans, the camber worn tires, PowerFC (would need stock ECU reinstalled to pass?)

Anyway - I tracked down the owner, so will drop him a line....

Non road worthy items would be

Battery..need to be properly mounted...easy fix

Pillar gauges..easy fix

Catchcan can't be vented to atmosphere..easy fix

Tyres.

Make sure no oil leaks.

Let the mechanic do these and hopefull he will pass the other things like coilovers and suspension mods, if any and exhaust noise..if too loud.

Imho car looks good value for money.

More correctly, can't transfer rego without RWC. If buyer gets RWC, you can continue on the same plates.

I wouldn't be too keen on letting someone I don't know drive my car that's still in my name while they get a roadworthy.

My understanding is that even if they had paid for the car until it's transferred the previous owner is liable for fines and such.

When selling a car/bike, I usually am happy to allow the new buyer to drive/ride the vehicle under my name, but I make them sign a waver stating that it must only be for the purpose of getting a RWC, and time/date it from the second they leave your house!

Transfer papers are binding as soon as you sign them. Yeah it's a good idea to sign a waver also and make sure you note the time of signing. Once you go to vicroads the transfer is complete. Then from the date stamped by vicroads you have 28days to get a rwc if it expires I think they cancel the reg. Did this about 3 months ago. No probs.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
