Purchase advice - 4WD vs RWD Stagea!!
32vspecII replied to Brazen's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
yea its all good , i dont really think 4wd vs rwd is that much of an issue . there a pros and cons for both . rwd - cheaper , less drive train loss , lighter , drift 4wd - easier traction rb26dett will be a bit of work on stagea from what ive read due to the auto gearbox and hand brake configuration , even if it is 4wd . and you gonna have a lovely rb25det neo in there anyway , id just work that up . the fuse trick may or may not work . Ive heard r33/34 gearboxes have problems if you do it but im not 100% sure on the details and it only works on a 32 . so it might not be applicable to the stagea . but a atessa controller should be fine if you can find one that suits the stagea . like I said id get the best condition , highest factory spec , latest model car you can afford . You can add stuff like rims and mods and everything later but you only get 1 go at the base car and youll have to deal with that for ever . -
Purchase advice - 4WD vs RWD Stagea!!
32vspecII replied to Brazen's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
the 4wd drive will be heavier and offer less stock performance , although better in the wet also the 4wd systems are more complex and therefore expensive id get the newest car you can afford . rwd is fine for 99% of driving situations and more fun anyway -
if your mods are reasonable and legal i wouldnt worry 2 much . ie rims are within allowed size difference and cars not 2 low . i dont know about tow bars though . as your interstate rego is your main form of vehical identification you will need to make sure youve got all the import / compliance paper work and proof of ownership . give the department of planning and infrastructure a call and see what they require . also some states will give you a temporary rego for interstate transfer that might help to . but give them a call and make sure , essentially youve got to prove ownership and compliance . in terms of inspection tho everything will be the same , its just paperwork difference . also i got my transfer at warrick , no probs . if you got a pretty stock skyline/stagea i wouldnt worry at all

you will be sweet , i brought my s15 over from syd with pod and exhaust mods . the exhaust even scraped going over the pits . but they didnt care . for license transfer they are pretty relaxed . its not like a defect inspection

ive got one of those xforce mild steel exhaust comming from rzone performance , but its been 3 weeks and i still havent got it and they guys not very good at returning emails . I got hold of him and he said it will ship next week so ill let you know aparently the delays are due to xmas/nye . another guy on the forums got one from him and had no problems even fitted it himself for the price you cant go wrong . rzone also have full stainless xforce for about 1k . also PM gtst89 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/me...ber.php?u=10804 he has some nice stainless systems at a good price

best turbo to upgrade with on a budget (r33 gts-t s2)
32vspecII replied to DirtyDezza's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
what kind of budget ? http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/prod410.htm this one looks tasty , internally gated gt30 flanged for rb20/25s . Its pretty new though so I havent heard any experiences with it apart from that gcg do rebuilds of your stock turbo up to 450hp , full ball bearing , steel wheels . -
Auto / manual differences for R32 drifter
32vspecII replied to druzilla32's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
if its under the 15 year rule you might as well comply it after the conversion afaik , as any road worthy issues with the old engine/gbox would need to be fixed for compliance and that money you obviously dont want to spend . but considering a front cut rb25det 5 speed is about 5k your going to be spending alot more that 4k! id say 6-7k if a workshop is doing it . if you do all the work yourself and get money back for your old bits it might come in under 5k . but budget for the unexpected to happen , it always does -
Value of my R33 GTSt 4 door?
32vspecII replied to Burns's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)

32vspecII replied to [WLDCRD]'s topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
r33 but if you need 4 doors go the evo 6.5 or even a new 8 -
Stagea Testdrive Impressions please
32vspecII replied to gts4diehard's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
they are quite heavy and auto and 4wd and the rb25 is a much more linear type of engine than the 2l but with the usual mods that will all be forgotten . -
Part wanted, please help, having no luck finding :)
32vspecII replied to R33_Cam's topic in Western Australia
i have 1 for a 4 door i dont know if its the same as the 2dr but the question is why would you bother ? -
year and kms ???
-
14k from a dealer , freshly imported . it is also an auto but i budgeted a couple of grand extra for the manual conversion . you can easily get i nice 4dr r33 for 15k which makes them a bit of a bargain
-
yea no real difference in the 4 door insurance is this the one your looking at on prestige ? 2817 2000 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 4-door Auto 83,000 White $24,500 21 Dec 04 cause its the only one I can find . if you want a different one budget a bit more for a manual . although the triptronic autos go quite well
-
go the 34 newer nicer 4 doors for flexibility still pretty quick and always responsive to mods heaps cheaper in the long run but id try to find one already complied here for piece of mind
-
im extremely interested!!!!

the sr20 is defiently power productive compared to a wrx . particularly a s15 as they have a great platform to start from such as large t28 turbo , some of which are ball bearing , 440cc injectors , larger afm , vvt . However the s13 sr20 engines suffer a bit from a lack of the above . the rb25 is certainly no problem to modify , a power fc full replacement computer can be purchased for just over $1000 and you should see 200rwkw with that and the usual exhaust and intercooler mods . Both engines factory ecus will have problems with large amounts of extra power from mods . Best to get it out of the way as soon as possible .

2-3k depending on where you go , what kind of clutch you put in generally auto + conversion seem cheaper than a straight manual my 95 auto 90000km cost 14k
