looks like it came from japancarbuyer or one of them mailing lists that risbey passes onto his clients :(

As for the car, its a drift pig, nuff said, if you don't mind using a trashed car and don't expect it to last more than a couple of years go for it. If you expect it to run without hassles for more than 3 months after you get it, don't bother.

As for the engine... its an RB20DET that's at its max potential without internal mods (cept for the cams) so I'd say its pretty battered by now. All the things outside the engine are top notch, but I reckon the engines been used at full potential for too long, hence the sale.

If you don't mind gettin another RB20DET (pretty cheap anyway) a lil further down the track or modifying its internals, then get it.

inark's one is an ex drift pig... the guy who owned it runs around in the D1 comps and has agreed to sell our agent other cars too. In fact he has an RB25DET ceffy that he wanted to sell, but I think some ex 300zx owner's snapped it up.

some curiosities bout narkeh's car:

bodykit held on by cable ties, drift style.

intercooler piping held together by tape

rear left quarter panel has had a hit and has since been straightened out, but you can see spot welds etc on the inside.

but then again, narkeh wants a drift pig to abuse, so he didn't really care :(

Or even better, 90, SR20, pretty sweet. About 650000yen FOB

yeah man saw that other day.. Its only got so far FMIC as the major mods.. The turbo is pretty much stock. No Injectors/AFM otr nnuttinig done to it thou. Its a fair bit for still at that price. For 650,000 i would be expecting a hamburger or an rb25/rb26 dropped in.

Still an SR in those things would make it a good ration of 50/50. very good for drift.

The dark blue one was owned by a Nissan dealer mechanic so you would assume it was well looked after.

thats like saying a panel beaters ex car must have panels str8 as a dye :mad: i used to be a panel beater and didnt know many other panel beaters with str8 cars :mad:

that first ceffy with the red rb26 is a 90 model and isnt able to be imported til next year.

ps munkeh - the bottom hose is held on by cable ties :D not tape lol

that car will clean up nice... after ive used it on the track.

True dat. I guess i was just trying to convince myself that they may look after their cars a little differently in Japan......Just a hallucination thats all.

yeah.. i'm looking for another car to import myself.. nice to get something fully modified as like u say the parts are worth fair amount.. but ****ed suspension, ****ed turbos, ****ed...etc (you get the picture) isn't really going to be worth much anyhow.

don't think i'm getting a ceffy though

i'm in two minds, it would be fun to take an rb20det and thrash the absolute balls off it till it cracks.. then again that could be $1500 to sell to somebody else if it was still in one piece :D .. for the Big Beast Engine

    • 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.
