Hi guys n gals,

http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/...&used_rec=1

That is the car im currently taken a look at and contacting the owner as well as NRMA inscpetion to organise a looky smile.gif i think the car looks preety clean. Now there are some mods on there that might heable to be defected ie the intercooler.. at the front. also Some person thinks the treds are to wide for it.... they are wide but skylines are cars that are mad on wide treds.... anyways im just pointing out some things and asking your Opinions i offered him 10,300 in the message i sent off to him

Cheers Tom

dont be stingy - 11k is what itd be worth :spank:

and yeah, a lot of things on the car 'could' be defectable...... being pulled over and checked is a risk you take by simply owning a skyline, whether stock or modified.

have u seen the car in person yet?

dont get too excited till you do.

sometimes you expect it to be great from the pics, but then you turn up, and pffffft, no good.

everyone's been through it, like myself, probably too many times.

will do :D im thinking about this car or maybee just buying a stock r32 with basic body kit etc and bov froma car dealership at least with them they usualy arent stingy and weird... and they have warranties

Don't trust (most) dealers from a bar of soap. They are stingy (it's their job) and they are weird (have to be to do their job well). Of course, massive generalisation :) but plenty of truth there.

A stock R32 will be far easier in the headaches department. There are too many reversible things that need to be done to keep the roadworthy authorities away when going for rego or pulled over for a 'random breath test'.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
