Unfortunately it's time to sell my 1990 model Nismo Edition Skyline due to acquiring another toy. It's registered in NSW until October 2013 and has low kilometers. I have all import papers and engineering certificate etc.
Car has some mods like Apexi FC, forged wheels, HKS oil cooler, upgraded exhaust, boost controller, torque split and timer etc. Car was painted white in japan (by dealer as far as I'm concerned) as factory stickers are placed over the white paint and I can't see any evidence of the car being gunmetal grey except for the VIN tag. Model number starts with BNR32-100 and RA code also.
Car is pretty genuine in that it still has the emergency flare inside, factory jack and tool kit and the sills haven't been bashed up like most grey imports. Only real faults are a cigarette burn to drivers seat (not by me) and vinyl lifting from rear side window trims (just needs to be re-glued). It also has a factory 2 way diff and nismo shocks, nismo dash and shift knob etc.
The engine has been upgraded (not an N1 block) with forged pistons, N1 pumps, baffled sump etc. because I wanted to boost it and do some track work but I haven't had it on the circuit yet.
I'm open to offers over $20K due to depressed market plus I got an exceptional deal on my new toy which allows me to lower my price (I still believe it worth much more due to condition).
Will send pic's to geniune inquiries only.
I'm not interested in what people think these are worth and debating value due to mods or colour change etc. (like other posts). This is a regrettable sale but not a forced sale so I'm not concerned if it doesn't sell "so no silly offers".

Your charmer mate, I told you I'd call you if I didn't buy the other car I went to look at, good luck with sale all the best..

My comment wasn't specifically aimed at you. I had the car advertised elsewhere and other people didn't show. Hell I even had it sold on Ebay once but the buyer backed out, so much for a binding agreement and now you can't even leave negative feedback to warn others. Looks like the buyer got in the shit with his family and the distance involved didn't help but he should have checked all this before bidding.

It's a little frustrating when it's such a good car and no one has actually looked at it.

I hope you did well with your new purchase and you enjoy it.

Regards

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
