1998 RB25DET Kouki S14

[Sileighty_85]

Wanting a Skyline but dont wanna deal with RHD or Skyline problems of finding parts? then this car is perfect for you.

I never thought this day would come but I need to say good bye.
I have limited car space and too many projects as well as needing to get a more family friendly car for the long road trips and being able to pull over to an Autozone to get parts in need.

Those of you that frequent the Build thread area probably know the car.

For those that dont here is the build thread to see all the work thats been put in to it.

Wanting to get $10,000 but price is negotiable


When I recieved the engine I tore it apart, inspected it and replaced all the gaskets. Car has been rock solid for me for the 8 years ive built and owned it. Only issues Ive had was the Alt dying and the stater takes a few clicks to start but will replace it before selling.


I have driven this car on multiple 7hr road trips and drove it up here from Al with Zero Issues.


Mobile 1 10w30 always used with K&N oil filters.


Body has a few dents and dings, FL fender has a dent, FR fender clear coat is gone, Hood clear coat has spots from bug guts that ate it away lol
No A/C I have custom lines for the R33 comp in the S14 system but the current comp is bad, I have a used one I pulled from a vist to Japan, just need to locate it due to the move.
Heat works great though


Will come with the wheels now!
(They are too small for the G35 lol)

+1 I learned A LOT from this build thread

[Sileighty_85]

Guess I'll post up the things that might need addressing since this is a 19 year old car and not perfect.

I Pride myself in being upfront with anything I sell, I do not hide or wait til something to pop up after I sold something to say "oh yeah that happens sometimes".

I do not like drama

Interior
door cards are about what you'd expect for a 19 year old car, has some small tears and fabric needs to be reglude in the Driver and passenger side.

driver side electronic door lock actuator needs to be replaced, itll jam if you use the electronic lock. I unpluged the DS and havent had any issues with using it manually.
Electronic lock button still works to lock/unlock Passesnger side.

Body is in pretty good shape, has some dings, worst spot in right in front of the right rear wheel from the PO, not sure what he hit. not really noticeable or some side skirts would cover it up.

Suspension Front coils top hat bushings are wore out had some Energy suspension bushings I had lying around and modded those to work temporarily

front windshield is cracked along the bottom, Id be willing to knock off $300 for the replacement of that depending on how much the car is sold for.

No major rust. Its lived in the south pretty much all its life. If there is any it would just be surface rust that could be removed with a wire brush. There's no rust bubbles or flaking.


When I brought it up here I rubberized undercoated the rear fender wells, frame rails, pinch welds and crevices from the firewall back. it snowed for 3 days up here when I got here and had to drive it to work but when I drove it home I washed the undercarriage everyday til the snow was gone.

Engine- as side from the starter needing to be replaced and alt dying (had it rebuilt) I havent really had any issues with it.

still has the old A/C comp. I pulled another one in Japan from a sealed system R33. I have it some where.... I think its in my long term storage parts that should be delivered soon. I hope. Would just need the condenser installed and system flushed with a new filter drier.


Engine will burn a little bit of oil only during engine braking, any other time it will not.
I believe it has something to do with the PCV or VC baffle system, I fished a snake camera in the intake to look at the valves and they didn't look like the typical leaky valve stem seal.
I'll post pics tomorrow when I get on my PC.

I remember your original build thread! Glad to see you and your wife are doing well.

Good luck with the sale

Nice Freddy manifold lol

GLWS

[Sileighty_85]

Thanks guys!


Went ahead and did a plug change on it today as well as a compression test for shits and giggles.

With pretty good result all cylinders were about 148-149psi normally pretty rare to have all cylinders so close together. Normally the last 2 cylinders are lower than the others

Coil pack cover really a heat issue?

[Sileighty_85]

Coil pack cover really a heat issue?

Overtime and with OEM Coil Packs it is. Very common the coils will eventually crack and leak spark or just get weak.

Here are the OEM ones pulled from this RB. Old ones on the bottoms, Newer ones on top. These old ones leaked spark.

Damn that crazy, must have been the only one then cuz I've yet to see another around here

[dookiedang]

i just got done going through your build thread. great job btw! now im curious, did you remove the upgraded turbo and coated manifold? and is it tuned on anything at all? glws this is a great example of what an rb25 swap should be!

Thanks man.

I did remove the turbo due to the stock ECU pulling timing and dumping fuel when it was set on the lowest setting.


Manifold is still the same just the paint has chipped off from sitting for 4 years lol :(


It is not tuned, still running stock ECU, turbo, injectors, MAFS pretty much a clean slate for a new owner.


:bow:

[nissan240syan]

I keep coming back to this. tempting tempting !

[Nissan2nr22]

Good ass pricing esp. for a real kouki

[Sileighty_85]

Still doing things to it to make it better and clean it up.

Well guys I hate to say but the car is now sold and with the new owners now.

Didn't expect they were gonna really gonna buy it, figured they would take a look, kick the tires, and lowball the shit outta me.

But they came with a trailer with determination of taking it home, and they did.

Really sad but no real regrets thus far. The brick of cash they paid with is helping me cope, lol ;o;

Seems like it'll be in good hands though.they said they were gonna paint it white and take it to car shows so good to know I won't see it in a ditch and parted out in the next few weeks.
