Im after a R31 GTS-x here in melbounre, totally stock or even small mods, willing to pay up to 6500 for the right car - Ive have imports before and owned a highly modified R32 with a RB25 conversion which I just sold - so Im looking for a stocker, doesnt matter about the condition or the Kms its done. Ive got Money so if you have the right car, right price and dont want any ****ing around - tell me

kind regards

I dont see why they are worth that much. They are a very 80s car, it has a really average red top motor, there slow, there interiors are very dated etc - i rekon im after a fair price.

To get a cheap but ok quality car: 150000yen: $2000.00aud

de reg fee, fob fee, buyer fee: 90000yen: $1200aud

broker fee $1100aud

ship to aus: $1400 aud

10% duty + 10%gst (i use 126% total multiply): $520aud

Cleaning, clearance, cartage, unload, internal transit (could be any amount): $700.00aud

Shipping to compliancer: $100.00 (unless d plated)

Compliance inc airco filler valve and rec/driers: $1350.00 (if your lucky)

New tyres (will have shit tyres ex japan - guaranteed!): $500 (crap set)

Sooooo... we are at $8870.00

Nuf said?

The above would be close to the amount you would pay for a decent car. It does not include any mechanical drama's.

boj01 had it right - he just typed less than me. Lazy bugger

Cheers,

Ken

Hahaha your too right Ken. I've heard enough lately of people wanting to buy cars for next to nix. It's a simple fact that even a car obtained for free from Japan, will cost you around the $3000 mark just in shipping/taxes/duties etc.

You may be lucky to find one at that price in Australia, but in ordinary condition and the seller will most likely be taking a bust!

Yeah steve

I know the prices etc im just testing the water. The bug has bitten and ive realised I cant live without my Nissans :D - Im really keen on getting into a skyline, and now since ive been driving my camry for so long, i really miss and appreciate how lucky I was to own my old car or ANY type of skyline for that matter. I wish I could still have a car like my old one, unfortunately not cops are too hard on people, hence I want a nice standardish Stock car, and a 31 GTSx is the least common of them, i dont care if it runs 17s, id be just content with owning one.

my old coupe is for sale, around 8-9k i think.

it was the cleanest coupe in Aust by far.

Way nicer than anything i'd ever seen. Went smooth as sily.

Mostly stock. Just zorst and a chip, couple psi and was nice to drive compared to what i have now :D

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
