Hi,

I'm needing to sell my skyline as we just got a brand new grand cherokee, I want it as my car and the missus hates driving the liney, she wants a 03+ Mini Cooper or maybe something similar so let me know what you have to swap, I wouldn't mind a little bit of cash my way too.

I got the skyline at the beginning of the year after swapping it for a f100 "monster truck" I had, he had the skyline for sale for 18k, I'm asking 16,000 but am open to fair offers as I am pretty keen to sell, here's what I was told about the car.....

1999 Nissan skyline manual r34 gtt,

white,

nismo kit,

enkei's,

twin plate clutch,

cross drilled and slotted front rotors,

turbo timer,

profec b boost controller,

auto meter boost gauge,

nismo 300km/h dash,

greedy exhaust,

cross flow front mount,

z32,

near new garrett bb gt3076 running 21psi,

1000cc injectors,

apexi power fc and commander,

all low mount, looks pretty stock, sounds awesome on boost, tuned by pulse racing, 285 rwkw, about 400rwhp, lots of money spent on this car, CD player, factory electric sunroof.

Very fun to drive, serious buyers only, no test pilots, If your after a something really quick but not attract the wrong attention, this ones for you, every thing works, cold air con, sunroof works and doesn't leak, even the power fold mirrors work, no holes in boot from wing removal as it's never had one.

Car is in good condition, has a small ding near the fuel filler, the front end is a little chipped on the bottom edge, has some stone chips, all to be expected of a 99 model car, just don't want anyone expecting a show car.

Thanks,

Mark,

Well if someone bought my car for $10k (would take 12 months to sell for that figure) and you could register it in SA I would buy it for 16, oh well, nice to dream.

edit: Unless you want an R32 with basically the same running gear as what is in yours lol

Edited by Rolls

Why do you have to sell it so bad, also what are you going to replace the feeling of boost with?

I sold mine, bought another one 6 months later as I couldn't hack it lol. Once the bug bites, you are stuck with it for life!

Haha I know what you mean. But we got a brand new grand cherokee and I want it haha so I gotta get her something she likes, like a 08 impreza hatch or something. I'm sick of watching the k's rack up on the jeep and the door dings and shit from the school drop offs and shopping centre car parks she seems to be at every day haha, I just want the jeep to drive everyday, it's pretty nice, brilliant black, I'm gunna murder it out, we took it to stockton beach when it was 3 weeks old, I was pretty impressed with it too, not the same as 3rd gear on 20 pound at 7000 tho haha.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • 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.
