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.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
