Yea it's been amazing fun, hope it can go to a good home.

I am not realistically expecting 25g for it, so if anyone is genuinely interested, then please make me an offer!

People will probably want to see the car before being able to make any serious kind of offer .... you'll only most likely get silly offers sight unseen.

By the way, upon sale will it come fully complied with RWC, ready for the new owner to simply take to their local roads authority to register ?

Edited by Simon_Koala

Being a private import it has to be first registered in the name of the person on the import approval, ie. me, and to be registered it obviously first needs to be complianced. So upon sale it will only require the same paperwork as any other used car would.

Here is he latest on getting her back to Australia and registered:

Due to paperwork hassles, it has been put back a ship and will now be arriving around December 20th. After customs/quarantine and transport to my parents place it will have the roof replaced (it probably won't pass roadworthy as it is) and then be fitted with a personal import plate and registered. All this should be finished around early/mid January, when it will be ready to pass on to a buyer.

Received the Bill of Lading from the shipping company today which means she is now on her way to Australia. Will be arriving on December 19th, all going to plan.

I assume you have insurance to cover damage, forklift marks, etc... from the loading onto the ship and for the trip over ?

It's being shipped with KIWI who have insurance included in their price, but on what I've read and heard, trying to get money out of them if the car is damaged is next to impossible. Then again it's apparently true of all the shipping companies, it seems to be a dodgy trade.

The car has arrived and I have recieved the invoice from the broker meaning the car has already passed quarantine/customs and is ready to be transported from the docks.

  • 3 weeks later...

The car has been picked up from the broker in Adelaide and was in perfect condition. It will have the roof fixed hopefully in the next two weeks and then be ready for compliance/registration.

  • 2 weeks later...

It was sent to the panel beaters yesterday to have the roof fixed which should be completed within two weeks. From there it is off to get complied and registered. I know it is taking a long time to get it ready for sale, but for those interested please be patient, the wait is killing me too!

The roof ribs needed replacing and had to be ordered from Japan, which could take up to 15 days. So it looks like she will be at least another month before she gets on the road.

For those interested in the car, I'm sorry about the endless delays. Please bear with me.

  • 2 weeks later...

It is having its roof fixed at the moment. The ribs had to be ordered from Japan and only came on the weekend. It should be back this week, and then it is off for compliance and registration. When it is registered I will be looking to sell it quickly.

Thanks for the interest Simon!!

    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
