Hello all!

For sale is my Nissan R33 Skyline GTS-T 40th Anniversary Edition. I've owned this car for 2 1/2 years now and it's brought me nothing but smiles. It's been lightly modified with the following modifications:

Front mount intercooler

Exhaust - HKS Super Dragger turbo back

Pod filter

Electronic Boost controller - GFB G-Force II - running 8psi

Turbo timer

Volk Racing 17" Gold coloured rims on Kumho39s - plenty of tread left! the rear rims I believe are 10.5" wide I think, I could be wrong but I run a 255/45/17 on the rear.

Double DIN JVC Stereo with USB input so you can plug in your phone and play your tunes. I bought brand new kicker top of the line speakers when I first bought the car and had them installed also.

I service it every 5,000km with fresh oil & filter. In February 2016 at 198km service was undertaken at Unique Auto Sports with timing belt, water pump, drive belts etc replaced. Whilst there I got them to put fresh oil in too. I've attached a copy of the invoice. Fresh brake pads were put on the rear this year also.

This car is coming up to being 19 years old, there is scratches on the car consistent with a car for this age. On the front bar above the number plate there is nicks and scratches and towards the bottom of the front bar there are small white spots. Mechanically the car is great it's never let me down the only reason for the sale is that I've bought another car. All electronics work apart from the air conditioning. I've replaced the motor that controls the drivers side window as it failed. It's currently sitting on 208,000km - this is only a number, these RB motors are insanely reliable and people run 250-300rwkw out of these unopened 200km+ motors successfully. This is only lightly modified and has been serviced with care. The previous owner told me he bought a new IAC valve not long before I bought the vehicle and she still idles beautifully. 

Registration is until 31st August 2017. There's no finance, never been in an accident or defected and whoever buys it will enjoy it like I have. Plates will not come with car.

 

Price: $9, 500

Location: Cronulla

Contact: 0-421810762

I'm not interested in "$6k cash today" or negotiating over the phone. Don't buy the car sight unseen, come and see it. :)

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
