All skylines odometers are wound back how would a car that's nearly 20years old only have 75000kms

Your mate probably wound it back

And the conversion is still gonna cost close to $2000 for all the parts needed

What do you mean or what gear box, the only option is to put an rb25 gearbox in anything better will be more expensive and anything cheaper won't last as long

Wow what an effort of putting the pic up that shows initiative and FYI im using a smartphone so its quite hard typing down especially with a fat thumb and at work at the same time...sooo childish of yous did not expect to hear that from a 26 years old...ermmm and im new to all these as my profession is in Finance Industry not in mechanics :)

you dont have to be a mechanic to know

1. thats cars ugly

2. auto's are for poofters

3.your getting ripped off

+ 1

christalmighty what an ugly piece of shit. It looks like someone tried to turn it into a prelude...

"Don't build what you can buy" just buy a manual Skyline... and FFS... buy one that hasn't had a "Queer eye for the Leb guy" make over.

The only way the Kms on that car would be genuine, is because no one drives it for fear of being seen in public in that horrific rolling turd.

:rofl2:

180fwkw prelude that weights 1200kg? that would be FAST.

4th gen onwards weighed 1300kg+

R33 GTST is 1390ish so there's not a whole lot in it. The 33 would make mountains more torque too, and being a rear driver wouldn't sit there trying to tie itself in a knot with torque steer.

The 33 would flog it.

And +1 for that car being f**king ugly. All it's missing is lambo doors and you've got yourself a real Lebo Chariot there.

4th gen onwards weighed 1300kg+

is 4th gen the last one?

If so then the car I'm talking about would have close to 1500kg with all the fibreglass, sound equipment and the fully sick 20inches chrome wheels

So it would have handled and accelerated like a truck

I work in finance, too, but I still know a horrible bag of arse when I see it, and when I look at those pics you posted I'm looking at a horrible bag of arse.

It is a fugly POS. Autos are f**ked. They are fat and slow. The bodykit is an abomination. The stripes look like red gaffa tape. The lights look like someone flogged them off an Audi and glued them on.

It's truly f**king horrible. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either blind, hates you or is a Lebo. Either way, they should not be listened to.

Gen 5 was last and weighed 1380kgs.

You know what's feking hilarious? That Prelude looks better than the 33 in question.

:rofl2:

That's really saying something.

yeah i'll have to agree but if that was for sale it would be a touch over $7500 even with the 249000kms on the body it currently has

    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
