Hi guys, have been thinking about parting with my car. Have been for a little while, but the thought of seeing it been taken away crushes me, hence why it's still sitting in the garage. The bottom line is i have 'rediscovered' game fishing, and can not afford to participate in motorsports and fish as well. The car has slowly been built up to a car that would be great fun in hill climbs and super sprints etc. it's pretty much imaculate paint and panel wise. It makes 320kw's on pump at 17psi. It has bilstein shocks, adjustable arms inc boost auto modded front LCA's. G4 356mm 8 pots up front, oem calipers on rear with aftermarket rotors etc. fully stripped/ painted out interior with sparco pro 2000 seats and matching harnesses & kidney pads. The wiring loom has been striped down, have done quite a bit of simplifying, the interior is very neat, high quality finish color matched to exterior. It has a 6 point bond cage. Doors have had intrusions removed, all screens lexan except for front screen. Car still retains a heater. Custom front splitter/bar, also has rear air guide from diff to rear bar. Origin Wing/japspeed adjustable wing. Wing & boot bracing. 18x9.5 + 25 all round. I could go on for ever and a day. It just needs a wheel alignment and a set of tires really. Anyway I knows it's a small market and it probably doesn't appeal to most. The fit and finish and quality will not disappoint.

It will be a sad day when she sells mate, hopefully someone on here buys it. Pity you're packing it in, was hoping to see you in NSW for World Time Attack this year..

If I hadn't just spent a fortune getting mine up and running I would be interested for sure. Should be lots of interest, very nicely built car, good luck with the sale :)

I live it and Breath it Justin, tassie is spoilt with great fishing. The boat is up for some maintenance if the bill isn't too high I might keep the datto ultimately I'd like a Evo 8 or 9, something totally street able but capable of 58's at basky. It's doable in nearly a stock car. Ray Tuttle has done it.(Rickards at the wheel) A red Evo with RPF01's would go down nicely but 4 door and 4 cylinder isn't quite as cool as the datto. Will see how it pans out. I think I'm just going to have to lower my expectations with the datto a little just to get it going sometime soon.

NO, DON"T DO IT :spank:

lol so far i've had a lot of that...... one good bit of news I've had since i have had my head elsewhere is the Ol cheap Achillies 123's are dirt cheep and fast? well fastish anyway 3rd place at the time attack just gone was on them and summers is talking them up big time

I didn't know nick sold them nowelly. But on further investigation they are starting to become more popular and they are getting a good rep, a lot saying up with RSR's for less money. Last time I checked R1Rs were way to many $$$$$ 350ish for a streety, no thanks.

Yeah, I can understand that... an absolute obsession.

I used to hang out with the marlin/dolphin/trophy sport fish guys in Mexico and around the Caribbean while I was working on Motor Yachts. Those guys are nuts about 2 things- shooting and big game fishing. It was amazing to see some of the tournaments... 40 or 50 x 40 foot+ sport fish boats heading out single file in the mornings, then they all head back in the same time. Some of the guys were crew, only there for reeling in duties??? if they win or place, the 'reeling' guy can get $50-60k just for an afternoons work on the rod (plus they all had really big right arms).

It's funny you say that, I've been looking at EVO's lately to replace the race wagon stagea one day.... mmmm black EVO 9, gold GTC face 2's, carbon lip and the right amount of low.

.... Don't sell the datsun, you know you love it.

Yeah game fishing in the states and in Mexico is insane, must do a trip someday, big yellowfin out of Mexico, or "cows" as they call them. Yeah for me a Red Evo with RPF01's, one day. As for the datto, I'm unlikely to sell it because it just won't bring the money I'd need to part with it. I also want to feel the modifications I made, I have made a lot since I last tracked it. I have copped a bit if stick for even mentioning it lol. But one day I will own a Evo, even if its as well as the datto

That's exactly what i said. Take it for a day out at basky and you will forget about selling it pretty quickly. On that note i am hopefully going to have my car tuned next month and will be organizing a quiet track day for a bit of a "run in/learn how to drive your car again" session if anyone is interested. ie. jack lol.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
