I'll take coilpack and bracket posted to perth w.a price?

hold on man...dont have the time nor the inclination right now to strip..looking for a place i can get the car towed straight to and remove some parts. depending on the deal I get I might just give the whole car to one person if they can organise towing to their residence. Also, havnt had a look at the condition of the engine..assuming its okay but want to confirm before I sell to anyone

No good man. Glad ur OK. U have a couple of grand worth of parts with the wreck, strip and sell what u can, scrap the rest and fund a new one.

Thanks man..hope I have that much in there...but probably only if I strip and sell parts individually..

if you need to turn it into money sell it to Fatz to strip

He contacted me , want to ascertain exact condition of the car first... but I may end up doing this to both get the car and memory out of my head and because I donthave the space to store the car nor do I have the knowledge or time to strip the parts and sell it individually.

So far id like to

- pay someone to strip the parts for me...sell shell to wreckers..if they want it and sell parts individually

- sell entire car to someone

but will confirm soon

Thanks for all the support guys...it pains me to even visit the forum and see the word skyline after my ordeal but its something that has to be done...as the holding yard wont be able to hold my car for much longer.

Will update later in the week.

well if you get to the end of it all and you're after another 33 and mine's still around, look me up

as nathan said though - cars are replaceable, people aren't.

Thanks guys, its the loss of license that is hitting me as well, otherwise id have another r33 in the garage right now. Public transport is a b*tch.

Engine doesnt seem to have any physical damage

I dont really have the space to store it at my place so if anyone has any suggestions or offers let me know.

I prefer to pay someone to strip the car for me..and i dont want the engine...so maybe we can work something out if someone can organise a place I can tow the car to, get it stripped , they can have the engine + some money my way and Il take the parts I need...failing that , I'll just sell the car as a whole.

Things of value on the car

- splitfires for rb25det s2 - about 10 000km old

- rb25det s2 - 133 000km , no smoke , engine was running perfectly , serviced by Paden at Unique Automotive every 5000km

- straight through 3inch exhaust with gtr front pipe and gtr cat

- hdi boost guage and boost controller

- pedders coilovers - about 7000km old

- jcv splits at the front , pioneer amp, Philips USB headunit

- and ofcourse any other salvageable body parts like rear lights etc

- auto transmission - but these arent worth much

Cheers

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
