Hey guys,

Deciding to sell my project to move on to something I can actually drive on the weekends rather than just work on.

***Current Pics***: coming soon, but here is the details and what you get:

1988 White S3 R31 Skyline Manual

Red top Nics RB20 Motor with Silvertop Turbo (bigger than the original turbo from the motor) - Very Little shaft play

500 hp Walbro Fuel Pump

Exedy heavy duty clutch (done 10,000k's tops)

Turbosmart Boost controller (adjustable from in cabin between stock ecu boost setting and dial-in setting - missile switch included)

Auto-Guage Boost guage (display up to 30psi - shadow face, goes black when not powered)

Apexi Pod filter

Lowered on Kings Springs all round with Monroe Gas shocks.

Near new front brake rotors

2.5inch exhaust with rear cannon

T25 tinted windows

Velour TI front and rear seats (in great condition)

Sony MP3 Head unit

Kicker 5 1/2 inch splits (brand new still in box)

Kenwood 3way 6x9's

Soundstream SPL12 dual voicecoil sub in carpeted box

Kicker 2 channel amp (bridged for sub)

4x 14" White CSA rims with roadworthy tyres (plenty of tread left)

4x 16" Silver ROH ZS style rims (fronts heaps of tread, rears getting close to TWI's)

6 guage dash cluster

Sports steering wheel

Chrome door handles

Silhouette grille

Heavy duty 4 point tow bar

plus probably some other small things I have forgotten to mention

Now, here is what needs to be done to get it running:

-Turbo and dump pipe bolted up and front pipe fabricated between dump and cat (if sticking with current 2.5" system)

-Piping infront of turbo (including fmic if desired)

-Purchase radiator and install

-Connect A/C and P/S piping

-replace front windscreen

-new brake pads

-RWC & Rego and away you go!

Body and paint notes:

-Front of car had been resprayed prior to me buying it years ago, and the vast majority of the clear coat has peeled. It isnt too bad with a decent cut and polish, however it probably could do with a respray eventually.

-Passenger door has some crows feet in paint. again, nothing really shocking though

-Window surrounds on doors need respraying in black.

-Aside from some minor surface rust on some corners from previous owners overzealous buffing (again, pretty minor) the car is rust free.

-Body and panels are nice and straight, however vehicle appears to have been in a slight front ended prior to my purchase (hence the pain issue first mentioned), but you'd hardly pick it.

-Interior doorcards are in VGC (mostly thanks to the dark tint). Carpet dash and all other interior bits are also in VGC

-Bumpers and plastics are in VGC

Overall, she's not too far off being done and ready to roll... I have just got sick and tired of doing the engine conversion. The motor itself is in VGC and blows no smoke (seen running in another vehicle immediately prior to purchase)

Car is located in Brisbane (Kallangur) and can be viewed on weekends

CURRENT PICS WILL BE COMING SHORTLY, however my description above is extremely accurate (PLS NOTE FROM PICS BELOW - EYELIDS HAVE BEEN REMOVED)

Car will also come with a heap of spare leftover parts I have acquired

LOOKING FOR $3500 ONO

Contact me by SMS - 0401606223

I'm happy to answer any and all questions in the open in this thread.

Many Thanks

Tim

I want this gone this week... will see it go for $2500 but that doesnt include the mags pictured or the stereo. (will put in some 6x9's for the rear and some 6"s for the front in place of that I take out... no headunit though)

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
