Well this time I was hit by an uninsured 4WD (joy). I've had way too much bad luck with this car, and I really can't be bothered stuffing around fixing it again, so it's time to take the money and move on to something cheap and practical like an ex-taxi on LPG :throwup:. Lesson to all those on 3rd party...

1993 R33 GTS25t Coupe

Factory Blue/Green pearl

5sp Manual

92k km

3" catback

Apexi springs

Series 2 wing

GTR side skirts

Blitz pod filter

pretty stock otherwise

HD clutch

Reg til Feb 2005. Drives very well and cleanly, good condition for 11 year old car.

Front drivers side impact, will need drivers Front Guard, bonnet, front bar, drivers headlight and a bit of straightening. Engine untouched and starts fine, but radiator leaked so can't drive far (I'm pretty sure the radiator is fine though, I think the leak came from either the fluid bottle which was broken or a loose hose).

Serviced the DAY before accident and was running beautifully - oil/spark plugs/brakes/new battery, timing belt done @ 84k, HD clutch @ 89k, so once repaired it will be a great drive.

Looking for $10.5k or so, stereo not included. If you are interested in a bit of a fixer upper, come have a look and then we can talk the sphincter of the universe. Car is sitting in front of my house in East Brighton, Melbourne, Vic. I guess this would especially suit someone who was gonna do stuff like custom stereo, respray, front bar etc, save a few grand on the stuff u'd be chucking anyway.

I'm not in the mood for shit kickers so if you are REALLY interested then PM me. May also consider trades for something decent and cheap to run and insure + cash.

-Max (retiring from Skyline ownership - at least in the interim :) )

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
