Quality daily driver / first car (I know this is a SKYLINES forum, and this isnt even a nissan, but its worth a shot)

I no longer have a use for this car, as I have no where to park it during the week at uni, and take the bus.

Grey VN holden Commodore, Executive Seday 3.8L

Nov 1990 (I think), 1st reg May 91

Rego till 4 May, 2006

4 brand new tyres, on stock steel wheels (w/ hubcaps :P;) 4 that "go fast look")...

Serviced 3 weeks ago, new oil, coolant etc brand new thermostat put in - old one was stuck open

Reconditioned 4 speed auto half way through last year

Currently has no roof lining, because the glue failed, it fell down, and I removed it, along with all the foam above it......I was going to replace it (about $200/230 at a place in drummoyne), but havent got around to it yet

Windows tinted beginning of last year, courtesy of B-Mans group buy (v dark metallic)

It has a 10 disc cd stacker in it, (I think its sanyo) so nothing flash, but the standard AM/FM/Cassette head unit, stacker in boot. Mid last year, I put in 2* 6" JBL 180W 3 ways in the parcel shelf, and left the standard front speakers as they were (and it all works fine).

I havent had any major problems with the car, however the ignition barrel and drivers door lock froze about 6 months ago, but i got two new barrells installed by a locksmith and now they work fine.

It was previously owned by my grandparents, I think from new, and I bought it at the beginning of last year. In that time, I had a company car for the second half of the year, so it was barely driven for six months. Prior to me buying it, it was garaged its whole life, and has only lived outside for the past 12 months. There is no sun damage to any of the interior, as I tinted the windows and put SAU seatcovers in almost as soon as I got it.

It currently has 1748XX km's on it, and I only drive it on the weekends now

I am asking $3500, which is neg, but Im in no hurry to sell, as it just sits in the driveway all week now.

Pics should be posted later today, once I find my camera.

Inspections can be arranged, but has current pink slip already, as it was only re-registered 3 weeks ago

Any questions, PM or email (brendan.mcgregor(at)optusnet.com.au)

Can provide mobile if interested, just dont want to post it on the forum.

AS AN OPTIONAL EXTRA......I currently have the number plates BU.57.ED (BUSTED) on the car, and will sell them too: with the car for $200 (this includes 1 year of holding them on the car, as I have just paid it), or by themselves for $500

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
