Hey guys,

Got my Nissan R31 Skyline up for sale.

Its a 1987 (series 1) Ti (Luxury model, full electrics etc) that has been a series 3 front and rear end. Gun metal grey in colour. I've owned this car since April and have had no drama's what so ever. This is my 4th R31 and I think I'm growing up a bit and over modifying cars (it hurts my hippocket too much).

This is it in a nutshell:

Exterior:

Series 3 front and rear end.

16 inch Simmons V4/5 Wheels, 16x7 fronts and 16x9 rears.

Federal SS595s 205/50/16s at the front, 99% tread (brand new 3 weeks ago).

Intensa 225/50/16s at the rear, about 75% tread (older than the fronts).

Removed boot spoiler (still have it can include)

Modified front bar.

Interior

NOS Racing seats up front (hard but very comfortable, drove Brisbane to Cairns didn't even get a sore back)

Autotechnica steering wheel

JVC Mp3/CD player

6 inch splits at the front with tweeters

6x9 JVC's in rear parcel shelf

Full electric windows (all work)

Electric mirrors

Electric antenna

Turbo timer

Boost guage (on A pillar)

Extra DC output in glovebox.

Blue door card lights throughout.

Suspension/braking

Front:

HR31 floating hub type struts with HR31 rotors and calipers.

Koni orange adjustable front suspension

Adjustable camber tops

Low king springs in it now, have custom K-Mac springs with 8kg/mm spring rate too go in.

Whiteline Heavy duty 27mm swaybar

Rear:

Monroe gas struts on Pedders sports ryders.

Have Bilstien rear struts from GTS2 to go in, with K-mac springs 6kg/mm spring rate.

Whiteline heavy duty 22mm Swaybar

All bushes have been replaced front to back in the last 12 months. Car handles very well and will handle even better with Bilstiens and new springs in it.

I will include springs and Bilstiens with sale, and will put them in if buyer wants them. Am leaving out for now as it may be too hard for some people.

Drivetrain

R32 1992 RB20DET with roughly 150 thou k's on it. Installed 2006.

5 speed R32 gearbox

Exeedy ceramic brass button clutch

3 inch mandrel bent exhaust from Turbo back.

FMIC intercooler 700x360x70

2.5 inch Intercooler piping made by Rob Bliss in Brisbane.

Standard ecu/injectors/fuel pump etc.

Minispool diff with 3.89:1 gears.

Engine is running at 11psi. Run on BP Ultimate 70% of the time and Shell V-Power the other 30%.

I think I have covered mostly everything.

Car is not thrashed at all, it is my daily driver. It has seen two motorkhanas were it placed very well. Oil changes were done before and after each motorkhana.

Car has had major service on 11/11/09.

No leaks what so ever, no knocks, no rattles. Most excellent car, it is my 4th skyline and by far the best. My previous one wasone with an rb25 in it, and this car is alot nicer to drive and quicker too.

Bad points

Paint on the roof is faded. That is the only bad point on the car... it doesn't fuss me too much so I never got it painted. However a paintshop here quoted $700 to respray the roof and boot.

It is going on a dyno this weekend, so I will post a video and picture of the run and final output.

Anymore questions, please PM me or text/ring 0404095980.

Car is in Cairns, QLD and can organise freight/drive it too anyone.

Price is $6,900 ono. I am flexible and will talk a deal with anyone.

Cheers, Todd.

Car has newly gassed and well working A/C, also the 10inch thermo on the front of the radiator is switchable on/off via switch in cabin

Temperature rarely gets too halfway, especially on these hot and humid Cairns days.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
