Ok here's my dilema... I've just rebuilt my engine and resprayed the car and stuff but with all the new laws and prices of skylines dropping I advitised my car for sale to see what would happen.... Of course i got the typical commodores and stuff wanting to swap...

But now i've been offered a pretty clean Toyota Celsior which is really clean looking black CF (means its got leather and massaging seats and stuff) and it's supercharged... The only that i can find in australia...

And there's also a completely stock aristo aswell??

Now i don't know wether to swap or not any advice guys???

It would really depend on if you are sick of the skyline or not...I am sure its a good car..but very different..6 psi aint gonna be no rocket...looks like the pulley and snout had the change I did a few years ago...but I made 10 psi....Go for a drive ..think about it carefully, if you are after the luxury thing then maybe

I guess the thing is, the others are only going to go moderately fast in a straight line as long as you dont want to slow down too quickly.

If it hasnt been already just get everything engineered on your car, she'll be apples.

the Celsiors are groovy as..my brother has one...factory air bag....etc etc..

got to be careful alot of electrics fail in them.

and the supercharger...is interesting....but prob not the best way of modding it.

but yeah wont stop to good...keep the line or get a newer car like an audi rs4.....mmmmmm

You have a very nice car.

you have spent a shit load no doubt.

and you will lose money if you sell.

If you weren't in a hurry to sell, you might find the right buyer.

but it is like an unwritten law.. you will reduce and reduce the price until it is a massive loss and you will just get rid of it at what ever cost.

You might actually get the dollars you are asking for it if it were manual.

selling a skyline is hard.

selling an R33 skyline is even harder.

selling an auto R33 GTST is next to impossible.

There are auto R33's for $10K.

the fact is, if you bought the R33 Auto for even $8K it's a bargain.

but if you wanted to make this $8K skyline in to what your car is, it will total well over your asking $18K.

But you can't explain this to people.

they just don't see it like that.

All the best in your sale/trade mate.

I'm selling it as i lost my company car and the skyline isn't really feasible to have as a daily, too much attention from cops and stuff.. Like i love the car to death and have fully built it twice built it once then stripped it to nothing and built it up to what it is now... i've had it for 3 years and yeah time for a change..

like i really don't wan2 get rid of it cause ignition is doin a feature on it when they're up here next... it's just other things backin me into a corner

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
