Looks like the Skyline has to go, as the wife hates it and is now refusing to get in it

Rolling roaded last weekend, 383.6bhp with 292.5lbft @7050rpm boost was set at 1bar (loads more power in there, will make over 400bhp easliy).

For £12,000 the following parts will come with the car:

Stage 1 JES Chipped ECU
Uprated Downpipes
Decat (with original cat to go with it)
Stainless Cat back 3" Exhaust System
Apexi Filters
Panasport G7 10 x 18" Rims (very rare and worth a fortune) with Brand New Toyo Proxie 275/35's on the rear and nearly new Fk451's on the front (275/35's again)
New SR Street shocks and Springs
Red Stuff Ceramic Pads and Groved discs
Oil Filter Relocation Kit
Oil Cooler
Polished Rocker Covers
Polished Twin Turbo Pipe
Nismo Gear Knob
Nismo Twin Plate Clutch
Greddy A Pillar Gauge Pod

For £13,000 these parts will also be included:

Brand New Stainless Steel Cat Back 3" exhaust system (this is 2 weeks old and was only fitted to the car the day before it was rolling roaded)
Apexi AVCR boost controller set to 1bar
Greddy 60mm Electronic Memory Boost gauge
Greddy 60mm Electronic Memory AFR gauge
Skylabs Torque Split Controller

I also have the Standard ecu to go with it.

Oil pressure is spot on, when started from cold it climbs to 5.5/6bar and when it's warmed up it drops to just above 2bar at idle, when driving below 3000rpm it's around 4bar and when giving it some it's up around 5 - 6bar again.

It has some history with it, Bimta cert from when it was imported in 2004 and is HPI clear with cert aswell.

Cat 1 alarm fitted, again with cert.

Bodywise there is some stone chips on the front bumper and splitter and other than that nothing worth mentioning.

Interior is spot on, dash is almost unmarked, just a few bits of sticky stuff on the lower dash which would come off with a bit of time and effort if it bothered you.

Seats are as new.

Gear gator needs replacing as it's worn which is a common problem with the nissan leather gators, altho the handbrake gator is fine, these are about £20 a set, just haven't got round to ordering a set yet.

Other than that I can't fault it to be honest.

I love it, but it's no good to me if the wife won't get in it.

Tax is end of october 06, and Mot is Feb 07.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Forgot to say I will PX / Swap for the right Car.

Heres some pics.

 

Divorce not an option?

 

lol

It is, but then i'd starve

 

 

love skylines

have you put it on www.gtr.co.uk?

 

No not yet, 2 reasons, 1 is that I bought it from there not long ago, and 2, that place is full of em for sale all around the same price, so figured it would be better to try the other sites first.

Besides im interested in a swap for something else, and the last thing I want is a gtst

 

single turbo 4 pots

just like a cossy i suppose

 

Nah a cossie is a bit different, it's practically an antique now

lol

Nah seriously I still have a soft spot for the cossie's

 

if mine was worth more id do a deal

 

If yours had been finished then I prob would have bought it instead of the liner, altho I guess then i'd still have the nagging bit in the back of my head telling me I need to own 1

still least i've had 1 now, and know what all the fuss is about, just a shame the wife can't see it

 

what a horrible car think ill do you a favour and swap it for my cossie

 

LOL

 

my misses finds the cossie to be a bone shacker ! makes her feel sick so got here a c4 vtr now quite happy so buy urs another car

 

Mine can't drive.

 

Car has been rolling roaded today, it made 360bhp and 265lbft on the standard ecu @ 7300rpm, and it made 383bhp with 292.5lbft on the JES chipped ecu @7050rpm

Dyno opperator said it has more power in it but I asked for it not to be revved past 7500rpm as it's not a good idea on standard turbo's, it moves them out of there normal opperating range so im told.

 

Lovley car mate

 

cheers

 

stunning matey, this is what i REALLY want when my supras gone

 

Hurry up and get the supra gone then m8

 

bttt

 

lovely example mate..slap her

My wife hates mine too! She's not even got in it at all so think ya self lucky!lol. I love it, but what's the point in having it if I cant share it with her and the nipper ya know? Why does she hate it? Mine won't even discuss it or give me a reason why?lol

Good luck with the sale, they are awesome cars and make the most amazing noise ever! Not hi jacking ya post, but here's mine.

Cheers,
Andy

 

Mine says she doesn't like it, as the suspension is too hard, and when I put my foot down it pins her back in the seat and she can't breath propperly.

 

LOL

 

Looks nice m8

 

cheers m8

Just title ya post "Why buy an Escort Cosworth when you can have this for the same money!" Took mine out again today , makes an escos 4 wheel drive seem agricultural.

Awesome cars

 

lolol

Cheers m8

Had mine out for a spin today aswell, was great fun, the noise it makes is awesome, just wish the mrs could see it

 

more pics

 

upski

 

if only i could talk myself into selling my rs500 and trying one of these....it looks stunning mate-i really do fancy one,but scared i may not enjoy it like the rs500!

 

Dont you fooking dare

The Skybus is a lovely motor, but you just remember what you told me about keeping the cossie

 

are you following me???

 

 

try it you might like it

your never gonna know unless you have a go

 

very true mate,but i have a 500 bhp rs500.i have been in a dilemma about wether to sell the rs500,get a cheaper sapph and have a do at a skyline/evo as a bit of a toy.but i love the way my 500 drives and goes-scared if i sell it i may want another and prices are climbing on rs500s at the mo......so i probably couldnt afford another.just need someone to get me on the right day with £15000 and i may sell................but then again i may not.

 

Thats easy to get around, get the money together, buy the liner drive it about for a week or 2, then decide which you would rather have and flog the other on

 

if only i had 13k lying around........unfortunately i can only have 1 expensive toy at a time

 

Sell some of the other cars, buy the liner on the business then decide which you would rather keep
