I have been looking to buy a 1994 GTS-T. Found one locally and i am after some advice on what to look for? any usual problems?

The mods the car has are 3" zaust, BOV, electronic boost control, Tein adjusle suspension and a GTR bodykit. I have taken most interest to this one cause the guy sellin it is 40, it has not been raced, and looks damn nice. Price on it is $23,000 neg with 90,000Km.

It also has4 wheel steering?? is this a bad thing? he claims it has about 180 rear wheel Kw at 10 psi. does this sound right?

any help would be great, as this is a great looking car and im hooked!!

Thanx :P

180 on 10psi, sounds a tad high i reckon for a stock turbo.

probally more like 165 odd kw.

For 23K it would want to be mint as, especially for a 94 model, Series 1?

Check for the usual, rust under the rear guards and under the undercarrage/chasis rails. Seen quite a few rusted there. (Must be from the snow in Japan)

Check air-con system works properly. For 23k it ought too. (Digital display and control seems to be a common problem with them)

Also just because he is 40, doesn't mean it hasn't been raced. Most people want a line for a reason.

For 23k i would want a full service history from Japan and Aus as well.

And remember if its done 90k, you will be up for a timing belt soon, which will cost a few $ too.

If you are paying top dollar, make sure you get close to 12months rego as well.

Its a buyers market currently so you should be able to do alright out of it.

Does it have a FMIC or standard cooler?

i have to disagree ... that powerlevel is about right ... my car had 162rwkw ... and that was an auto at 10psi ... so ~180 seem right on ...

however i agree with the rest ... 23k is pretty high for that type of car ... i think for 23k u can get a series2 with even more mods done already ...

Thanx guys.

It does have a FMIC.

I am after something that is fairly standard mechanically. wot price do ya reckon i should pay for it. it is in very good condition in and out, only thing i could find was a small crack in front bar.

do they all have 4 wheel steer? is this something i should be wary of?

:cheers:

Do a search on 'hicas' for the 4ws query.

The power level sounds about right, im on 185-190rwkw @ 12psi with the same mods. I still think it might be abit rich, maybe it would be a nicer priced car (depending on condition of course) if it was around $21k (being a '94).

Try a solid $15-16k.

Your price *includes* the fee, *if* I have read this site correctly... and 4 door autos are cheaper(read, $11-14K):

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.
