NGK plugs gapped at 0.6mm (never mis fires ever garunteed!!) :)

Immobiliser

ALWAYS serviced every 5,000 - 7,000 kms with only mobil 1 motor oil and red line gear and diff oil

Only EVER used BP ultimate 98 RON fuel, nothing else

This car has had a full conversion (full motor swap) from non-turbo to turbo. The conversion was done by Full Throttle Performance (Ray) 14 months ago.

The motor that he put in was a series 2 turbo, from a black 96 r33 turbo. When the motor was put in, it had done 34,600kms. Since the conversion i have done at least 20,000kms and looked after the motor. the boost controller is never set above 10 PSI.

I will list every single little thing thats wrong with this car, as I believe in an open and honest sale.

1.) The front bar has 4-5 large cracks in it. It is made of fiberglass and one morning i started my car, after my girlfriend had driven it, and it was in gear. (i never leave it in gear) and bang... straight into the carport wall, cracked in a few places from stress... but still looks fine if you were to pass it on the street. I have a quote for 350 to bog it up and respray it, you may want to replace the front bar maybe though.

2.) There is a sratch down to the metal on the roof from when i was moving house. I tied a metal coffee table to the roof and the cushioning came loose from underneath it.. causing a scratch that i have been quoted $200 to touch up. its not huge, just one one side, about 10-15cm, and about 3 of them.

3.) The tint on the left hand side passenger door needs replacing. It is peeling away badly, however the other side is perfect. The quote i had for this is $65

4.) The rear right hand side indicator has a bit of the corner plstic cracked off and there is a dent, with the paint scraped off, just next to the indicator about 5cm accross, and about 2-3cm deep inwards. The indicator inside is in perfect order, and works. the outside plastic needs to be replace and teh dent pulled out and resprayed over. I have been quoted $550 (you could do a lot better though im sure, the dent it small)

5.) the vacuum hose in the boost gauge needs to be replaced. its plastic and it has cracked because i tried to move the boost gauge without unplugging it. you can get this from repo or supercheap for about 5 bucks and set it up again. the boost gauge works, but is not accurate with the air leaking.

Nothing else is wrong with this car. the motor etc is in perfect working order and has nver ever missed a beat.

The reason i havent fixed these things before sale is id rather just sell it now instead of messing about getting these things done, and I've put a lower price on it after taking these things into consideration.

I am down in bunbury, western australia, but im up in perth with the car sometimes. If you are serious, email me. or contact 0408 932 147

I have pictures, if you would like them, send me your email address. [email protected]

The price is $15,300 ono

Thanks.

Forgot to add... I also have an Apexi twin chamger blow off valve that isnt on the car, but the buyer can have that aswell.. ive never put it on, but apparently they are loud? it has three settings, and retails for about 500 bucks

Yes, the DET gearbox was put in.

The brakes are the same as before, they are more than adequate, decent size four wheel disks. They never fail to pull me up quickly... It's not like there's a massive difference between the stock 187kw you get from the turbo motor, to the 152kw you get from the N/A motor... 30kw does not warrant a brake upgrade.

They are a 4 stud hub, and take the same mags as a silvia or the likes.

I have the turbo brakes, I was going to sell the seperately, but if someone wants them with the car, then no problems... but I wouldnt ever bother putting them on.

Also... the radiator has been upgraded at the time of the engine swap. and the fuel pump was upgraded to a bosch 070.

You'll see that the clutch etc, was also upgraded on the list of additions on original post.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
