1993 Nissan Skyline GTS-t.

Had a prang in April - someone made a turn in front of me. Insurance (JCI) said that the salvage is worth $2k according to some auction place (can't remember the name, i've got it written down somewhere, will advise later) so i guess I'm looking for around that price although i am open to offers.

First and only Australian owner - purchased in 2001.

Hasn't seen much driving in the last 3 years.

Windows are tinted to darkest legal tint - driver's side window has some scratches in the tint but the rest is good.

Serviced every 5000-8000kms. Have all service receipts since purchase.

Polyurethane bushings

Reconditioned turbo replaced when the factory ceramic turbo died - "good for 400hp" said the mechanic at the time - dunno what brand it is, but it's larger than the standard - i've only ever run the stock boost, so never got to experience the extra power... oh well...

Rims are the standard ones, but have been chromed or something by the previous owner to make them shiny and look quite nice when they're clean - i cleaned one up a bit so you can see.

Tyres are BF Goodrich 225/50 ZR 16s and have heaps of tread as i haven't done many kms on them and i'm too old to do burnouts.

Splitfire coils that haven't seen much travel at all (probably 1000 - 2000kms if that? I suppose i can check my receipts and figure it out) which i've taken out and put the standard coils back in (one of the standard coils is dodgy). I'll sell these separately.

JVC head unit. bit worse for wear and the "forward" button doesn't work, but the unit still plays CDs/MP3s and radio.

JBL 2 way 4"x6" front speakers

Kicker 3 way 7"x10" rear speakers - you don't need a subwoofer with these installed. Well, at least i didn't...

3" exhaust from the cat with 3" straight through muffler

pod filter

AFM used to be dodgy, but since been fixed - just needed to resolder a connection on it and hasn't given me a problem since i fixed it a couple of years back. (FYI, advice to anyone who has a dodgy AFM and has nasty stalling issues like i did - just unscrew and pull out the plug, re solder it and it'll be like it never happened!)

Also have a Consult Port->RS232 adapter, which helped my diagnose my AFM issue.

apart from the obvious, the passenger door and rear quarter panel is scratched/dinted, the rear bumper also has a couple of scratches/dints but most of the rest of the car is fine. I can take more photos on request.

Location is in Point Cook, Victoria.

If you want a pic of something specific, let me know and i'll put it up.

Looking to sell the car as a whole at this point.

After 7:30-8ish on weekdays is a good time to take a look. Weekends are ok too most times depending on what i've got on. PM me if you want to arrange to take a look at it.

Had a query regarding fixing the AFM. Just thought i'd post details here so everyone knows. The problem that i had was that the socket's solder had broken, so they needed to be resoldered. Been a few years since i did this so my memory may be a bit scratchy :)

In the pic you can see my AFM. (1) Remove the plug from the socket, and then (2) remove the 4 screws - once you've done that you can lift the socket and it should reveal 4 or 5 long metal wires which are attached to some other part inside. The solder on my unit was quite brittle and broke off quite easily. I think i also had to remove the plate to have easy access (3 and 4) to where the wires were supposed to be soldered to (or maybe i didn't have to remove the socket at all and could get to it all from under the plate - can't recall exactly). All you need to do is resolder those wires back where they were soldered and you're done.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • 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?
