My car was imported in 2000 and had the conversion done in 2001 in QLD. its a very dodgy job and i am surprised it ever received an engineer's certificate.

by the time i have finished nearly everything is gonna be replaced in it!

I keep getting offers on the GT-R, if it wasn't a V-Spec II I'd be temped.

Nice car but overated. (just my opinion not ragging on you or ya car) there going for around $15-16k at the mo and thats a bit more than i was looking at paying

Well let me know what you got and $$$'s as i will look at anything :D

Did you get my information regarding the GTS4? I've sent you a personal message and an email, but obviously don't want to pester you. Might be able to arrange a viewing on the weekend if you are keen.

hmm V-Spec II and to a std of t01-100's car for $15-16K... i doubt it

Ok so i should of said GTR (not v spec 2) last R32 GTR i looked at was $14850 and that was on the road, its not what you know bt who you know boys, and if you ask Timmyb he'll tell you that i know alot of peeps :headspin:

Looks nice and clean and for a good dollar but i really want to avoid an auto if i can. But would still like a look over the car. Who knows maybe after you take me for a drive i might even change my mind about autos. It looks like i will be up north this weekend but maybe another time???

No worries, I was only going to make an excuse to come down in part to show the car to interested people. The car will be available for viewing this weekend in Launceston if you are in the neighbourhood. If you want a look let me know and we can arrange something. I can factor it being automatic into pricing if you become interested.

G'day,

I have an HR30 sedan. I bought it when I was living in NSW already registered. I hasn't been ADR comlplied because it was brought in under the 15 year old rule. Mods that were made for rego were things like tyres, passenger mirror glass, seat belts, the usual.

From what I’ve seen and considering I’ve spent double figures on my GT-R that was already in pretty good condition, and that’s without the spare rims and tyres. Unless you budget on spending a good $6k on a $15K GT-R to bring it up to the condition it should be in you’re giving yourself a false sense of value over a $23k-$25k GT-R from say Just Jap or UAS. I say this because although it might be a bargain purchase price, you my need to factor in the extra cost of replacing aging turbos, gearbox with dead syncros from 3rd and 4th, buggered intercooler hoses and general servicing etc. All of which need to be in decent condition for a supplier sell the car without risk of it returning in a hurry or getting a bad reputation.

After racing an R32 GTSt on the track last season, for under $15k my choice for the road would always be a GTSt every time. $1k replacement engines, $600 replacement gearboxs, simple and basic 2.0 turbo 2WD with a great chassis and good standard brakes.

We will talk later, need to pick your brain and hopefully you can answer my questions champ???

any publicity is good publicity! :)

I agree, hope you have a nibble soon as its a ver nice/clean car and at a good dollar. I think the only thing killing you is that its an auto and the price, but just my 2cents mate :rofl:

Hey guys how you all going?

I'm in the process of getting my car finalised and sent down to me! So I'll be one of the few Skyline owners here in Tassie!

I got it imported through a friend here in hobart. It's a Japan import sent down to Sydney for paint job, mag wheels, race seats, body kit and so on. Should get it within the next week or two...

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
