Hi everyone. Regrettably the time has come to let go of my second love I’ve owned for the last 2 years. I’m going to be downgrading to a cheaper, more practical daily – The time has now come for me to start looking for a property, so I need any boost with finance I can get. If you're looking for a gorgeous, clean series 3 with sensible modifications owned by an enthusiast, this is the car for you! The details of the car are as follows:

Make: Nissan Skyline

Model: BCNR33 – Series 3

Year: March 97'

Vin Code: BCNR33 041297 (Nissan Fast screen shot added here)

Color: QM1 White

Kms: 106,000~

Registration: Expires July 2013

RWC: Yes

Price: $24,000 (standard exhaust/suspension) – I’m open to reasonable offers. Looking to offload within 30 days due to RWC! Great car with heaps of goodies and very well cared for.

Location: NW Melbourne

I am the first owner of this car having purchased completely standard from Southern Special Vehicles in Oakleigh for $25,000 with ~76.000km on the odometer in June 2010 – This was by far the cleanest, unmolested example series 3 I could find, so I snapped it up. In the last 2 years I have spent close to $20,000 on modifications and religious regular servicing – Most of the work has been done by the professional guys at Protek Automotive in Thornbury. The general condition is better than you would expect of a 15 year old car – The paint is in very good condition, which minor stone chips on the front bar and blemishes on the rear spoiler. The interior is in great condition (Non-smoker), and there’s no bolster wear or tears in the seats, and the steering wheel is also in good nick. Wheels have slight gutter rash from daily use. Car will be sold with standard exhaust and suspension fitted as required for RWC. This car has been my daily, and she’s never let me down! Here’s the list of modifications that I’ve completed:

HKS Hyper-D coilover suspension (will be supplied at extra cost)

Work - Emotion XD9 18x10 +18 MGM set (currently has 255 Bridgestone tyres ~70%)

Clear Nismo side + front indicators

Pioneer Head-Unit+ Speakers 6" 210watt 3-way

Tinted windows

Nismo Gear Knob

Mines 320km/h Cluster

NSK-7172SO Excedy Sports Organic Clutch

Turbo-back exhaust (will be supplied at extra cost)

Bosch 044 in-tank fuel pump

600cc Sard Injectors

Apexi PowerFC + H/C

2860-7 turbochargers

Gates Racing Cam Gears

Clear Cam cover

K&N Panel Filter

New 42mm Alloy Radiator including new thermostat

Turbosmart E-Boost Street Boost Controller

Carbon fibre air duct inserts.

The car has had Its major 100,000km service including Gates Racing timing belt, pulley, studs and seals. All fluids were flushed and recharged including attessa fluid, both diffs, gearbox and transfer case conducted 8/4/11. Last service of motor oil/filter/plugs conducted less than 5000km ago. Comp test was completed showing 140 across all cylinders prior to any modifications. Currently performs with 276.8awkw @ 18psi on a safe tune. Car doesn’t skip a beat and never knocks over 20. I have all receipts.

*THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE WORKSHOP UNDERGOING MODIFICATIONS FOR RWC – IT WILL COME FITTED WITH STANDARD EXHAUST AND SUSPENSION – IT WILL COME BACK WITH NEW BRAKES AND DRIVESHAFT BOOTS FITTED IN THE COMING WEEK OR SO.*

I will throw in perfect working order standard turbos, and another pair of high-flowed R33 N1 turbos that need the seals replaced. You may have the aftermarket cat-back exhaust and suspension at an extra cost.

The only downside to this car is the 2860-7 turbos I purchased second hand over a reputable member of the forums has a small whine to it. They were tested prior to fitting and were in perfect working order with no shaft play what-so-ever and did not feel rough when spun by hand. Once installed the whine was present and has been that way since February 3rd this year. The car has performed flawlessly and does not affect it at all. I had it all tested in-case there were any vacuum leaks, but was determined a bearing inside the turbo might minor damage due to sitting around for a long period of time or possibly dropped. I just haven’t had the time or coin to rectify this, so that’s why I’m throwing in my two sets of turbo’s to the new buyer as an added incentive.

I’m looking to sell this car within 30 days of the RWC expiring – I’m open to offers from serious buyers. You’re more than welcome to ask any questions/drive the car whenever you like.

You can contact me on 0406948342 or PM me on here.

Regards

Steve.

*I'LL BE ADDING UPDATED PHOTOS WHEN THE CAR COMES BACK INTO MY POSSESSION - INCLUDING INTERIOR AND MORE ENGINE BAY SHOTS*

Hi guys, people have been messaging asking why I'm not providing my aftermarket suspension and exhaust in the sale. I initially wanted $25,000 for the car in this tough market, so I thought I could drop it without these parts and leave them up to the new owner on what suspension/exhaust setup they see fit. After some thought I'd be happy to throw them in for any potential buyer if they wish - I consider myself to be a fair and generous guy, so don't be afraid to ask any questions and throw offers my way. Having said that I wont just be giving this away, she's too good for that.

I will consider swaps for an '03-'05 WRX wagon + cash my way - I'll be looking at one this week as a potential replacement, so I'll keep you updated as to what happens with that. I also forgot to mention the car recently had new nolathane bushes fitted to the castor rods.

Regards.

Believe me I want to keep her - I've been holding off doing this for months. I've just come to a point where I need to make some short term sacrifices to help fund a long term goal.

I just hope somebody will get enjoyment out of this car as they are becoming rare to find.I've currently got a couple of interested parties in line to have a look at the car - I'll keep this thread up-to-date on its status.

Cheers.

    • I mean I can be OCD'y but this is really over the top. At that point why not just run a full wideband fuel controller? Especially if you run 3 widebands. The system works pretty well, which is trimming low load stuff to be within a few percent of the base map. Pre-engine _change_ the base map was only 1-2% off, depending on ambient temp, elevation, etc. Under load the LS is really very straightforward to tune, enough that a wideband closed loop would be overkill. If I really cared (and I hope I don't) I can always just go back to the MAF system the car actually came with. Which does all those nice calculations for me (temp, altitude, etc), now that you can buy 102mm MAF's that do not cause restrictions.
    • Good afternoon Team , just a quick update on performance mods  Current Mods list (Installed) HKS - Power Editor (Came with the car) looks to be some kind of boost controller RV37 Skyline 400R (SKYLINE) | FUJITSUBO  - Cat Back  RV37 Skyline 400R (SKYLINE) | FUJITSUBO  - Front Pipe AMS  - INFINITI Q50/Q60 RED ALPHA COLD AIR INTAKE KIT AMS  - Performance Heat Exchanger Intercooler Not Yet AMS Alpha Performance Full Race Down Pipes  - to be installed in May 
    • I'd be installing 2x widebands and using the NB simulation outputs to the ECU.
    • Nah, it's different across different engines and as the years went on. R32 era RB20, and hence also RB26, the TPS SWITCH is the idle command. The variable resistor is only for the TCU, as you say. On R33 era RB25 and onwards (but probably not RB26, as they still used the same basic ECU from the R32 era), the idle command is a voltage output of close to 0.45V from the variable resistor.
    • It's actually one of the worst bits of Nissan nomenclature (also compounded by wiring diagrams when the TCU is incorporated in ECU, or, ECU has a passthru to a standalone TCU).... the gripe ~ they call it the TPS, but with an A/T it's actually a combined unit ...TPS (throttle position switch) + TPS (throttle position sensor).... ..by the looks of it (and considering car is A/T) you have this unit... https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/2262002u11 The connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit, is the TPS (throttle position sensor) ...only the TCU reads this. The connector on the unit body, is the TPS (throttle position switch) ...ECU reads this. It has 3 possible values -- throttle closed (idle control contact), open (both contacts open, ECU controls engine...'run' mode), and WOT (full throttle contact closed, ECU changes mapping). When the throttle is closed (idle control contact), this activates what the patent describes as the 'anti stall system' ~ this has the ECU keep the engine at idling speed, regardless of additional load/variances (alternator load mostly, along with engine temp), and drives the IACV solenoid with PWM signal to adjust the idle air admittance to do this. This is actually a specific ECCS software mode, that only gets utilized when the idle control contact is closed. When you rotate the TPS unit as shown, you're opening the idle control contact, which puts ECCS into 'run' mode (no idle control), which obviously is a non-sequitur without the engine started/running ; if the buzzing is coming from the IACV solenoid, then likely ECCS is freaking out, and trying to raise engine rpm 'any way it can'...so it's likely pulling the valve wide open....this is prolly what's going on there. The signal from the connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit (for the TCU), should be around 0.4volts with the throttle closed (idle position) ~ although this does effect low throttle shift points if set wrong, the primary purpose here is to tell TCU engine is at idle (no throttle demand), and in response lower the A/T line pressure ... this is often described as how much 'creep' you get with shifter in D at idle. The way the TPS unit is setup (physically), ensures the idle control contact closes with a high margin on the TPSensor signal wire, so you can rotate the unit on the adjustment slots, to achieve 0.4v whilst knowing the idle control contact is definitely closed. The IACV solenoid is powered by battery voltage via a fuse, and ground switched (PWM) by the ECU. When I check them, I typically remove the harness plug, feed the solenoid battery voltage and switch it to ground via a 5watt bulb test probe ; thing should click wide open, and idle rpm should increase... ...that said though, if it starts & idles with the TPS unit disconnected, and it still stalls when it gets up to operating temperature, it won't be the IACV because it's unused, which would infer something else is winking out...
