Unfortunately it's time to sell my 1990 model Nismo Edition Skyline due to acquiring another toy. It's registered in NSW until October 2013 and has low kilometers. I have all import papers and engineering certificate etc.
Car has some mods like Apexi FC, forged wheels, HKS oil cooler, upgraded exhaust, boost controller, torque split and timer etc. Car was painted white in japan (by dealer as far as I'm concerned) as factory stickers are placed over the white paint and I can't see any evidence of the car being gunmetal grey except for the VIN tag. Model number starts with BNR32-100 and RA code also.
Car is pretty genuine in that it still has the emergency flare inside, factory jack and tool kit and the sills haven't been bashed up like most grey imports. Only real faults are a cigarette burn to drivers seat (not by me) and vinyl lifting from rear side window trims (just needs to be re-glued). It also has a factory 2 way diff and nismo shocks, nismo dash and shift knob etc.
The engine has been upgraded (not an N1 block) with forged pistons, N1 pumps, baffled sump etc. because I wanted to boost it and do some track work but I haven't had it on the circuit yet.
I'm open to offers over $20K due to depressed market plus I got an exceptional deal on my new toy which allows me to lower my price (I still believe it worth much more due to condition).
Will send pic's to geniune inquiries only.
I'm not interested in what people think these are worth and debating value due to mods or colour change etc. (like other posts). This is a regrettable sale but not a forced sale so I'm not concerned if it doesn't sell "so no silly offers".

Your charmer mate, I told you I'd call you if I didn't buy the other car I went to look at, good luck with sale all the best..

My comment wasn't specifically aimed at you. I had the car advertised elsewhere and other people didn't show. Hell I even had it sold on Ebay once but the buyer backed out, so much for a binding agreement and now you can't even leave negative feedback to warn others. Looks like the buyer got in the shit with his family and the distance involved didn't help but he should have checked all this before bidding.

It's a little frustrating when it's such a good car and no one has actually looked at it.

I hope you did well with your new purchase and you enjoy it.

Regards

    • hey OP can you remind me what the actual question was, I got sidetracked at V12. Do you have an turbo oil return leak and an unidentified coolant leak? The factory oil returns are terrible design; short, rubber and expensive to replace. They are very common to fail and a pain to replace because they are so short. Still, they are available new if you want to replace both last time I checked. For the coolant leak, any competent mechanic should be able to do a pressure test; that should show up where the leak is. It is almost certainly one of the billion 30 year old rubber lines which are now brittle as hell, you engine will be fine.
    • From the OP's description, sounds to me like the TCU is in 'limp home' mode --- that is, no actuation power to shift solenoids, and the EPC valve is shut (full line pressure). This effectively sticks the box in 3rd gear, with as much line pressure as possible, to try hold the high clutch clamped shut....and so you get woeful acceleration and don't feel any shifts (because they're not happening). If you don't have Consult or some other scanner to interrogate the TCU itself, you can test with a multimeter to see if it's in limp home mode....ie; stick it in D with engine at idle (hold vehicle with hand/foot brake), and measure the voltage at the TCU feeding shift solenoids A & B -- both should be ON (battery voltage). If they are energized at the TCU, you can unplug the harness from the TCU, and check resistance down through the wiring to the solenoids themselves -- you should see about 20ohms on each coil --- if you do, you can presume the wiring to shift solenoids is OK -- if both measure open circuit, you have to check intermediate connectors in the loom down to the gearbox (and the gearbox connector itself), and check the shift solenoid resistance at the gearbox connector itself --- if the shift solenoids test open circuit here, problem is in the box (ether the solenoids or wiring to them is bad). If you get no voltage at TCU connector for the shift solenoids (and the solenoids/wiring test OK), check powers/grounds to the TCU itself --- if they're ok, it suggests the TCU is the culprit (and you'd need to interrogate it if possible, to find out why it's behaving badly)... 
    • Hey mate give Autotechnica a go, I recently got some Comfort PUs and rails from them, they're comfy and look great highly recommended! https://www.autotecnica.com.au/part-finder/nissan/skyline/r32/
    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
    • Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.
