Damn.... sounds much more economical than my 2. Also got a couple more questions, if you don't mind.

- From the info on the blue plate, your car seems to be an import. Was it imported through you or the owner before you?

- The original engine is non turbo. Was a RB25DET swapped into it by the owner before you?

- If an engine swap was done, were there any engineer's certs for it?

- I know there're no original logbooks as it's an import, but do you have your service history on it?

I've never driven the car anywhere but around town, it runs exactly the same as my old skyline & I once drove that from wodonga to Melbourne (300km), filled up when I got to Melbourne & it cost me $16 to top it up and the guage read just under 3/4 tank so it is very good on fuel, couldn't give you an exact indication but it's definitely good for any situation.

hello,

unfortunately i've never really liked the look of the celica's, i've heard they run well and are reliable but im afraid id have to pass on this one, i've also been hoping to swap for something a little bit newer in the last few days, it sounds like you have looked after it really well & good luck to you if your trying to sell it or swap it i'm sure there will be someone on here who is interested in swapping a skyline for a celica. catch ya mate.

no worries i dont mind skylines as they are very nice to drive. normaly i would drive my old 260z its reliable and torquey as all shit for a NA but there seems to be too many idiots out there so i dont drive it very often for fear of it being smashed into good luck with the sale as it is quite a nice car and ive seen it around and its a good example of a well maintained skyline for anyone else interested.

Hey man

Just got a call finally from my mechanic about my 2. Service's basically done, except that the suspensions (dampers and struts, i think) and ball joints are to be changed. So probably only be able to bring it back either tomorrow or Monday. But I'll be popping down to his shop tomorrow to take a few pictures. So once that's done, I'll post them on and tell me what you think.

bump.

Is this the same car as the one that you blocked off the turbo? and then had problems trying to put the turbo back, then had problems after putting the turbo back?

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pu...bo-t300900.html

indeed its the same car & indeed i required some help from other SAU members with more knowledge then me but i dont know where your getting the info that i am still having problems with the car because its been running great ever since, go back and read the end of that forum what i posted the other day & you'll realize theres no problems with the car..

You did have problems with it then asked for help on what to do coz the car with turbos is not running like before you ripped the turbos off. No info how it was fixed. Then a couple of months later you said it is running fine now. so how was it fixed?

yeh i i had a faulty ignition lead & it was making the car run bad, one of the lead ends would always cut in and out while i was driving.. i didnt find that out till after i posted all that stuff.. the ignition lead got REPLACED that same week i quoted one genuine for $232 from melbourne & organized to buy one from a SAU member because it was only $60 delivered, i posted in the 'wanted to buy' section asking for anyone with a lead, im sure you can find this if you need to be proven a point.. that was such a minor thing that i didnt even worry about posting it, after i replaced the lead the car was great, all my coil packs & lead got checked on tuesday this week by a mechanic & he replaced where the fault was so everythings great, no problems.. nothing to worry about..

thanks for clearing it up man, no need to be defensive just an honest enquiry since I am looking for one. I was reading through that thread and saw that you were selling it which lead me to this one. Didn't make much sense so yeah.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
