$26,500 ONO - make me an offer!

I've bought a stagea - great for carring large amounts of stuff arround - so it's time for the fantastic car I've owned for several years to go -

press_release.gif

What is a R34 GTX Turbo? It was the top of the range skyline when the R34's came out - see http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/nissan/skyline/1998_5/ for all the models, and http://www.nissan-global.com/GCC/Japan/NEWS/24b6.htm for the nissan press release for this exact car.

The "X Turbo" came with all the optional extras, specifically the limited slip diff, Traction control, upgraded sound system, privacy glass, xenon lights, 17inch alloy wheels, etc.

Do not confuse the R34 GTX Turbo with a R33 GTT! The R34 has been vastly upgraded ie better -

1. engine (NEO) (206kw..)

2. turbo

3. intercooler,

4. brakes (4 piston caliper at the front, with bigger disks)

5. steering (Super Hicas)

6. Traction Control

7. Exhaust ("dual tailpipe muffler with exhaust pressure-sensitive control")

8. Stiffness (better than a R33 GTR!)

9. Gearbox (M-AT, with paddles, torque lock, engine braking...).

10. interior - updated and modern.

My specific car details are -

1998

Tiptronic - ie M-AT You can use it in auto or manual mode (which includes using paddles on the steering wheel). It's good!

117,000 kms - if I wound it back to 50,000kms (like all those adds in the trading post) you would believe it. Timing belt has been changed etc.

Silver

Dual airbags

ABS brakes

Limited Slip Diff

Traction Control (which can be switched of on the dash)

Tinted windows

MP3 player

8 speaker "Holographic" sound system (active crossovers on the rear speakers).

Duel Muffler exhaust (ie "sports" exhaust).

Strut brace

Climate Control

Cruise Control - top of the range rostra (all electric)

alarm & immobiliser with remote pager and auto window winder- top of the range (Aus insurance approved).

Custom built tow bar

Custom seat covers

All power options etc

Central locking

Adjustable height headlights (dial in the cabin).

4 door

ie it is a stock standard R34 GTX Turbo, accept for the things I have changed/added -

1. The MP3 Player (JVC)

2. Cruise Control - top of the range rostra unit, with RF connected buttons on the steering wheel.

3. Custom tow bar (from Prestige in Melbourne)

4. Custom seat covers

5. Top of the range alarm, with remote pager and window winder - you just shut the car with the remote, the windows go up and the alarm/immobiliser is activated.

6. An unused (not connected) turbo timer.

Yes, you may be able to import an R34 GTT (not X) a little bit cheaper than this (if you are lucky, a lot of importers underestimate the total cost). But there are some good reasons not to -

1. The cost of the Alarm, Cruise Control, and Tow bar will more than make up the difference.

2. Import risk (ie Are parts going to be stripped before it gets to you? What condition is it really in, etc etc)

3. No need to worry about compliance, and your local road authority (it's been here (vic), and registered for several years).

4. It will NOT be easy for you to find one (and it will cost more) with the optional traction control, and limited slip diff - both extremely valuable features!

This is a very very nice family :-) car, very quite inside, excellent interior, very smooth ride and handling, which has no difficulty overtaking. :-) The four doors certainly reduce the attention from the police as well.

If your interested, send me a PM, or ring me on 0422 479 540. Genuine interested buyers only, and no, you won't be taking it for a test drive unless I'm sure you really are interested in buying it!

Nice car, good luck with the sale man!

Yep, I've liked it :( The comfort of a luxury sedan, with a skyline performance and handling.. Of course, it might not sell, in which case I'll tell the wife 'I tried, looks like we will have to keep it..' :(

The stagea is good as well, great for carrying crap around, but it is 200kg heaver, and has more road noise as well. Still, it has the same NEO engine as this one :(, and is better than any wagon I could have bought in Oz!

Hmm, it appears nobody is interested in upgrading to a r34! I'll put it on drive.com.au next, but I've changed the price to 'Or Nearest Offer' - so let me know if you are interested.

Not too fussed, I can always tell the wife it wouldn't sell, and will keep it.. :D

lol i though th eprice was funny but then it was 2005 which would have been right

lol

Yep, it wouldn't let me edit it! Definitely not worth that now! When I finally get off my backside I will do a new post with a more sensible price at the top of the screen, as I think anyone looking at this one won't get past the first sentence... :-) For 2005 that was an OK price - remember the dollar was a lot lower then and the car was a lot newer :-)

Part of the trouble is I really do like driving it, it's just that we have shifted home and now really don't need two six cylinder turbo cars!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
