Pawel,

You could possibly sell the engine off eaiser than the whole car (with a swap for a stock engine). I would consider this in a couple of months. As I know alot of people get attached to their cars and want to improve their own, without going through the trouble of selling theirs and buying yours.

Just a suggestion, could be a quicker option in the long run????

Jeff.

1992, 5 speed, alpine cd player, might be jacked up (not sure) 83,000 kay's, sunraysia wheels, sports exhaust, and it's white and a soft top ( J top means soft top) and is an import.

whats your email, and i'll scan some pics as soon as I can

well i doubt you would be interested in mine.. but

1993 2.4 with recaro interior and auto

90,000kms

Widebody, rear spoiler, nudge bar & sunroof

very simple clarion sound system

3litre head

turbo smart boost controller

autometer boost gauge

custom k&n cold air intake right into turbo

1000CCA high performance dry cell battery

---

coming in next 4 weeks

35% all round tinting

r33 top mount intercooler

let me know anyway.

fuel is very bad becuase I floor it all the time... but driving from qld to vic.. i was getting 500km per 60l but that was doing 130km the whole time... at 3300 rpm, where 100km/h is only 2000rpm.

rust not a problem at all.

when your buying if its a 3ltr u wont have a problem, but a 2.4 make sure its had head work. Also heaps of them are accident damage. Umm.. also, diesels last forever but cost heaps to maintain, so make you get a well maintained one or you will be in for big bucks.

Since having mine the main expense was the head.. then after that i had most belts and hoses replaced just due to age. Also a CV joint boot needed replacing but they break when something from the road flies up and hits them. Other than that I got a well maintained 2.4 with full recaro interior and it has been great and only costs $550 a year to insure (and im only 19).

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
