Hi Guys, Dropping the price now to $5,500 as is, unregistered or $7,500 registered & roadworthy. All reasonable offers will be considered. Cheers

Hi Everyone, I have my 1998 R34 4 Door up for sale. I've owned this car since 2005. I purchased it from Sportscar Warehouse in Southport who imported it into Australia. It's been a great car. I've put in a stereo: * Alpine Head Unit * Alpine 6" coax rears * Boston Pro 60 6.5" split fronts * Coustic 4 channel Amp * Alpine 500W Monoblock Sub Amp * Alpine 12" Type R sub * All doors sound deadened with Dynamat Extreme The engine has remained stock except for some Yellow Jacket coil packs to fix the annoying Skyline coil pack issue. The car came with a turbo timer when I purchased it. I've recently had the car tinted. Less than 6 weeks old. I've only ever had 1 issue with the car and that was when I went to start it and it randomly wouldn't kick over. I got Lube Mobile out to take a look at it and they said the compression was wrecked and that the engine was ruined. There is a post around here about it somewhere questioning how it worked perfectly up until that point then all of a sudden wouldn't start. After the car sat in my front yard for 3 months waiting for me to work out what I was going to do with it, I replaced the now-flat battery and the car kicked over first go and never had any issues since. Turns out the ECU just needed to be reset. I've had a new car since April 2004 and I was going to do this car up into a weekend weapon, but now I'm buying a house and could use the money. I've kept it registered and insured (Just Car) up until now but registration lapsed in February. The car does need some things done for roadworthy: * L/H & R/H Tie Rod Ends Worn (Quoted $200) * Wheel Alignment * All tyres (I think these are borderline very borderline. Currently has Michelin Pilot Sport 3) (Quoted $132 each for cheapies) * Caster Bushes worn (Quoted $240) Price: $6,000 as is, unregistered. I'm happy to get the above items fixed and the car registered (12months from Feb) however price will be $8,000. I have also attached a carsales Car Facts report if you'd like to check it out. Mobile: 0433 261 660 Located: Rochedale South Kilometres: 143,280 Reason for selling: Buying a house, have a work car and no longer need the skyline. Any questions, let me know. Cheers, Dave CarFacts History Report.pdf

Good to hear mate. It's a little late now but if you search the forums there's a way to run a self test on the air con and fan system (It's been about 4 years since I did one, but I think it's by holding a button down as you start the car). It goes through and tests the motor, air con, temp sensor, light sensor and so on, and probably would have shown an error for that part. Cheers, Dave

I picked up a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 3's for the 34 on the weekend and with only limited driving I'm still impressed with them. They have heaps of grip in the dry! I've taken then for a run up Tamborine mountain and they've been a dream. Picked up 4x 235x45x17 for $996. The test will be how quick they wear...

stalk, that's the word I was looking for!

You're indicator bar / light switch isn't just pushed forwards to the high beam spot? I had a similar issue in an old car of mine and it ended up being that whole indicator bar... replaced that and was all good.

Get a cable tester (little sharp point thing with the little light in it) and start going through your dash with the ignition off and find your constant power & ignition power cables and make sure you've wired up the head unit properly. If it's affecting aircon, stereo & clock, then it would have to be a fuse.

Alternator? Without that generating power while you're driving the car wouldn't have a spark. Maybe something earthing out that shouldn't be?

Cheers mate. As soon as I googled Pathfinder Blower Motor Resistor it showed heaps of results! Thanks again!

And you're not supposed to have blue because it's only allowed for emergency vehicles.

Hi Everyone, I bought a Pathfinder 6 months ago which I am now in the process of selling and going to drive my 34 again. About 2 months after I bought it, when I would start the car, if I had left the Air Con Fan on say 2, there would be no fan... So I would turn it up to 4, then when I turned it back to 2, it was all good. Then it got worse where 1,2 & 3 no longer blow any air. My Air Con works perfectly, is nice and cold, but it has to be on 4 to work. I have tried replaced the two blower fuses, even though they were all good. And swapped the blower & air con relays with an identical one used elsewhere in the car and still no good. Has anyone seen this before or know what it could be? Cheers, Dave

Cool, thanks heaps guys. I will be getting her going this weekend so thanks for your help! Cheers, Dave

Cool cheers mate.

Hi everyone, I've had 2 cars for the last 6 months, and my Skyline has sat still doing nothing now for the last 4 months due to it's tires needing to be replaced and me not having the cash to do it. I've now sold my second car freeing up the cash to get the Skyline sorted again, but I'd like to just hear some recommendations on what I should do for a car that hasn't been run / started for 4 months. I plan on: * Changing Oil & Filter * Changing Radiator Fluid * Changing spark plugs Should I be completely replacing the brake & steering fluid etc... ? Cheers, Dave

No I haven't. Crap, I have read that before, thanks for the tip mate! Sorry to get off topic on your thread. Still, let me know when you've got them off your car if you haven't sold them yet. Cheers, Dave

Hey mate, My 34 has a missfire due to the coil packs so im trying source some a bit quicker. Leave them on the market for everyone, but if I have no luck in a week or so, I'll hit you up for them. Cheers, Dave

Hi Everyone, I need to pick up a set of (working) Standard coil packs for an RB25DET Neo. Please let me know if you have a set, I need them as soon as possible. Prefer southside, but will go to northside if necessary. Cheers, Dave

Hey mate, I'll take the coil packs. Can you please PM with details and price on shipping to brisbane (4108). Cheers mate. Dave

Coil packs gone?

Yep, I'll take it. PM me your details and I will organise payment. Cheers

Ill take the wing @ $100. How much to sent it to 4108 ?

What colour is your boot lid and where are you located? Cheers

Ground for the amp. Make sure you scratch away any paint that might be in between the grounding wire and the metal you are grounding it to.

no, just kicked it over...

Nah not me. I have the stock 34 rims and live in a culdersac. I just had a read about checking engine compression and it suggested that I should do it with a warm engine as that helps the metal and gaskets expand giving a more accurate reading, and to do it will all of the spark plugs out to allow the starter to spin more freely. Think that would have any impact? I wouldn't think it would give that much of a wack reading from cold...
