89 model, rego 6 mths, safety cert, 52000 clicks (apparently), stock standard apart from 3 inch cat back zorst, Kenwood sound, gunmetal, import papers, $26k ono.

I have a feeling it could be this one if so would mean he got it on the road for about $22,500. Good thing its ono cos i wont be giving 26k.

In theory a 52k motor shouldn't need a rebuild. How much does it cost to rebuild a RB26DETT anyway?

As much as you want to beleive that the car u are buying has genuine kays,

With 52,000KM for a 15 year old car its almost 100% been wound back or a new cluster.

Thats about 70 km a week

I hardly ever drive my car, and i still usually do 200 a week

Yea don't worry I'm not taking it as a given. Even if I see log books stating such I guess they can be forged. I'll go on the condition of the car.

Bit like the 25t it say 59k but I don't believe that. More like 100k I reakon. Far as I can tell the timing belt is original and the 25t is 6 yrs younger also.

i'm in the process of inspection a 32 GTR as well. Asking the seller to run a series of test (@ my expense) on compression test, leak test, chassis alignment, etc...

i'm not really concern abt the K's as well becos i planning on doing a major service on it - timing belt, water pump etc....

Oh well that one turned out to be a bit rough. He said 52k, the odo said 42k the sticker for timing belt change said 72k? In other words a wind back also judging from interior wear and condition. It was pretty straight though.

When I asked myself would I be happy sacrificing my 33 for this the answer was no. Plain and simple. May be faster and handle better but that was about all it had on the 33.

Only the 1st one though. The search continues...

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.

      My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By Chi-Town · Posted

      This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.

      It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
