Hi all,

I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the most powerful Bluebird Attesas in Sydney.. I am the first Aussie owner of the car, which was imported from Japan just for me. Car arrived completely stock, with ~56,000 kays in 2000.

Reason for selling: I don't need it anymore (public transport to work now).

It's a gun metal grey 1994 Bluebird Attesa with black top SR20DET which is stock on the outside but has the following engine/interior mods:

* GT25 Turbo (rated @ 350HP)

* 3" Liverpool Exhaust from dump back with twin tip HiTech muffler to look as close to stock as possible. Also pretty quiet for a 3" SR20DET.

* Garrett bar and plate intercooler (painted black) (core from Cooma Diesel - custom end tanks)

* Z32 air flow meter

* 600cc Injectors

* Chipped ECU (tuned by Unigroup on 4wd Dyno).

* R33 GT-R fuel pump

* 60mm throttle body from N14 Pulsar SSS

* Custom intake, Apexi filter, and relocated battery

* Blitz Dual SBC Boost Controller

* Momo Race Steering Wheel

* Autometer Boost, Oil Pressure and Voltmeter gauges installed in spare DIN slot

* Pioneer Flip face Tape deck with 6 stack CD

* Pioneer Splits in doors

* Pioneer 6" 3 ways in parcel shelf

* ~120,000 kays.

* Tinted windows (20% tint - nice and dark)

* Brant immobiliser

* Rhino Alarm

* Factory front lip

* Made 166.6awkw at SAS on ~20psi. I think with a more agressive tune it can crack 180.

* All the mods were done myself unless shop mentioned above.

* Serviced every 5,000 kays

Never thrashed, gave it a hit every now and then but that's about it.

Has these standard bits:

* climate control

* power windows

* central locking

* power steering, etc

*Price $12,500 ONO

PM or reply if you want more info.. Pics hopefully this weekend.

Located in Sydney.

correct me if im wrong but is that turbo pretty much a step up from standard?? just trying to figure out why such a low power figure on 20PSI through a SR20DET is possible?? not trying to be rude either mate.. :P

hmm just read that the turbo is rated at 350HP... ummm that power out put don't make sense...

166 ALL wheel kw...

350HP max of air flow means it can produce 350hp worth of air.

that's at the engine.

350/1.34 to get kw = 261kw MAX at the engine.

this car is Constant 4wd not like the gtr.

so,

considering a stock wrx of 160kw will put out about 110kw at the wheels and has the same sort of drivetrain loss, you can see why his car is putting out 166kw at the wheels.

20 psi is not the max he can run with that turbo.

expect about 60kw loss to the wheels, I'd say that the most he could get at the wheels on that turbo would be about 200kw.

Also, he says he has a Garret intercooler from a COOMA diesel (I'm guessing some sort of truck..)

Possibly a bottle neck there.. I don't know.

anyway, it sounds like a well setup car.

Hope it sells soon for ya.

Impakt - if the price comes down to the $10K mark ever, let me know first please..

Thanks.

Gents, the core is a brand new garrett unit, not a cut down truck one. It's bar and plate too.

Cooma Diesel sell heaps of go fast bits for everything, not just diesel (when i got the core they did anyway).

GTST - I can't bring myself to sell it for that much considering how much stock/auto/ugly ones are going for these days..

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
