im going to my bank tomorrow, if they tell me what i want to hear , ill buy this site unseen as long as engine passes a comp test.

my 31 has been given an offer i cant pass up, and ive been wanting a ceffy , ill let you know how it goes

geesus... ur in perth :cheers: and here i was thinking i was going to have to wrap it up and send it to a regional part of africa :)

ok well should be able to go for a comp test on monday morning... so far 3 people have offered the 17k but no one has bid on it or put a deposit down.. so first in first served.

if the comp test or mechanics check shows something u dont like i will gladly return the deposit.

min deposit will be $500.

ok... update is that the comp test should be done by the middle of the week.

so i will put the results up then.

ok mounts are all fixed and better than the nissan originals

thanks to nice welding and fabrication job on my brother in laws part...

will be taking the car to a mechanic tomorrow afternoon to get a comp test done... will have the results then.

oh and found out today when the car was on the hoist that 1 of the wheels were buckled.... so im going to replace all 4 with a set of 17s with good rubber.

well now its not in need of new tyres.... no where near as much.

Id say 2k for the usual stuff for compliance... maybe another 1500 for rego... so to be on the safe side id say budget for 4k... but thats being very generous... probably wont come close to that.

ok its confirmed that the comp test will be monday arvo.

will post up the results (which i know will be fine after the nice test drive i gave it today for an hour) will be good.

so if u want it... express ur interest now as there are still a number of people on this and other forums that keep saying they want it pending the test... but if u havent secured it once the results are in its going to the highest offer.

more pics in my gallery... looks much better than the others... specially now its had a clean :D

people keep asking why i call it a drift pig apart from the obvious that it was drifted by Ken Satoh is that the interior isnt exactly in show condition ;)

took some good vids of it today but have to find the cables so i can dump it onto the HDD... u hear it coming 30seconds before it even comes into picture :( had some in car footage... but it wasnt exactly very steady with such a hard ride ;)

starting to not want to sell it now the more i drive it...

as usual when selling my cars something small but a pain in the arse tends to break... starter motor went on it today... its been shakey for some time now but i always thought it was the recharged battery playing up.

went and purchased another one today and will have it put on tomorrow... so wont be able to get the comp test done until tomorrow when its done...

also found out the CAT has been gutted and its shooting flames everytime it "pops" :)

ok... just dropped the car off at the mechanics so should have the results of the comp test by this afternoon.

yeah should shit it in with those 17s on it...

someone on NS said they want to put a deposit down on it tonight regardless of the comp test results... so... everyone else may have just waited a bit too long... then again it may not go thru... who knows.

nope... he cant make it til tomorrow... so... theres a days grace if someone wants to quickly step in :D

Diagnosis is in!!

"u cant get any closer than that" - the mechanic i took it too

125 across the board... perfect condition.

and what do u expect from a car owned and kept by Ken Satoh?

    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
