That could also be your problem. Over here, we generally run ours on 98 octane. get copper plugs and regap to 7mm then try it. If the problem persists then use quality electrical tape to insulate around the block part of the coilpack. Or even better, use a heat resistant silicon in the crack on the block part. There was a thread about the silicon but I can't find it.

There were only 1800 sold in Australia brand new. Given that tha majority are 10+ years old, you'd assume a small percentage aren't on the road anymore. The chances of a [P] plater wanting one, finding one and being able to afford it are pretty low.

unfortunately, the S14 200SX was Australian delivered and they were all turbo. Therefore, you won't get a N/A S14 200sx that's legal for a QLD [P] plater. And you're generally correct. Apart from the SIDI commodore and the V35/350Z, I can't think of many N/A 6 cylinders that make 200kw that aren't highend. Like an BMW E36 M3. Correct me if I'm wrong. The main point is that the 300ZX is completely fine. Edit: Toyota Aurion makes 200kw on the nose, but no one wants FWD.

Welcome! If you're ever unsure about a car's power output, try wikipedia or redbook. They'll generally have what you need to know. http://en.wikipedia....G_engine#VG30DE - The VG30DE engine the the 300ZX makes 166kw at the flywheel and is legal for Queensland provisional license holders. The cc of an engine signifiies the displacement. In the case of the 300ZX and the 2960cc, it's a 3 Litres engine. 1000cc is the equivilent to one litre.

Gross airbags. Needs more monster tacho.

Could be why then. It's usually mounted up near the driver's side on the firewall, under the windscreen. Depedingon the the circumstances, some cars were complied without receiving said plate though. Best bet might be to get a Vcheck to be 100% certain of it's history since being here.

Can 100% confirm that they are infact legal. They use a N/A 2.0L engine which is listed as 184kw at the flywheel. So it complies with all of Queenslands regulations. One of the fastest P-plate cars available, given that they way 300-400kgs less than commodores/falcons with the same power. Yes, the 350Z is illegal to drive with a provisional license. It's power is listed at 206kw at the flywheel, exceeding Queenslands 200kw maximum for P-platers.

No compliance plate or sticker? But yes, that is the vin.

First and foremost, welcome to the club of skyline ownership. To answer a few questions; A VG30 turbo is infact off a 300ZX, so it' either an r33 T3 turbo or a vg30 turbo. Your power figure does seem a little low, but keep in mind the awd system. You get a massive amount of drivetrain loss in terms of power (20-30%). Nistune is a good modification; it will tidy up your tune and unlock some more power. Also, you can get it retuned easily everytime you make a larger modification. As far as electronic boost controllers go, they're good but not essential and you can get by on a bleed valve without trouble. a greddy prospec was one of the first purchases I made for mine and I regret buying it before more important parts - like new coilpacks. Anyway, enjoy skyline ownership.

You're obviously not getting the point I'm making, so I'll just stop.

It's definitely possible. An ex of mine (whom I'm still friends with) purchased a house and rents it to help pay the mortgage, while living at home with her parents. The catch is her parents are also listed as a guarantor on her loan. She's on about 55-60k a year net and manages to do alright. Has a car on finance and still manages to save $150ish a week. If you can get your parents as a guarantor on your loan (obviously and hopefully you won't need them) your chances just dramatically went up. Also, another major factor is if the bank will consider the rent you will receive as direct income when calculating your income, because at even $350 a week rent your yearly income is increased by $18200. Which is obviously a substantial amount. It's worth talking to your parents and a bank officer about it. But first, I'd look at getting atleast a 10% deposit and establishing a good saving pattern with the bank. That's what they want to see.

Don't see why you'd get a loannd be paying 15-16% interest for 9 months a for a car you can't drive for 8-9 months? If the S2000 if your silver medal, it will always be your silver medal. Also, the Spoon duck-tailed hardtop is where it's at: I looked into one when I had mine, but they're far too expensive. Was like 5k for the hardtop (when our dollar was piss poor compared to the US), $1500 for labour and fitting materials and $1500 for paint. Not worth it, at all.

That's why my Girlfriend hated it. Everytime I took mine out by myself, she thought I was trawling for women. Damn womens. Don't understand the concept that it's enjoyable to drive a fine car.

Thank-you, for pointing out the obvious. But I was referring PARTICULARLY to dealers getting N/A R32-34's traded. Because they're garanteed to make a quick profit, when some idiot P-Plater runs in and buys it, as opposed to a less desirable car that would have the tendancy to sit in the yard.

Doublt post.

I'm from QLD too and I can tell you that if you look on carsales, you'll only find 13-14 at any one time. More importantly, they're either clapped out '99 models with 150,000km on them or a cleaner model with less km but the seller wants far too much (eg 28-30k for a '99 model). If you had a choice between the two, given you could drive the and it was the R34 then get that. By the time you find an excellent condition S2000 (which you expect for your money) at a reasonable price, you'd nearly be on your opens anyway.\ I looked for 6 months for mine. It was an '01 model, genuine 65,000km, all serviced at Austral honda in Brisbane from new, had a complete history, aftermarket stereo and a full stainless HKS exhaust but also had the original parts. Perfect condition, maybe a stone chip or two which I didn't notice until I polished it. Black with red leather interior. I paid $25000 in 2009 and I knew I got one of the better ones. in summary; great car, but if you'd honestly prefer the R34 to it then that's where you should look. You'll easily have enough to buy a R34 GT-T of your choosing by the time you receive an open license.

I wrote you a big reply on page one. Haha. It did. Very easy to drive, feels amazing on the road, usable torque for what it is. When you put your foot down it goes pretty well. My R32 makes 200rwkw and I'd say the S2000 would nearly be as quick, given it's lighter. It does get a bit tail happy if you put your foot down mid corner. Size can be a problem, if you need storage space or you're a bigger guy. I'm only 5'7 and 80kgs, so it was a nice snug fit for me. I liked it. If you're bigger, you might not. Small boot, no glovebox. You only have a webbed pocket in the passenger footwell, a webbed pocket behind each seat and a little storage box between the two seat backs. What state are you in? there's not many going around. Only about 1800 sold new over 10 years.

This. Refer to my post on page one. They don't have a trip computer that measures fuel ecconomy (well mine didn't. 2001 model) but at a guess, I averaged 12L/100km.

I owned one for a year and I can tell you 8.8L/100km is very, very generous.

This, they'd put it up for sale for 8k a week later and some chump would snap it up (thinking they got a good deal because it's a skyline from a dealer) and the dealer would be laughing all the way to the bank

Also, HAHAHA. Who told you this? They're a merchant of lies. The prefer to be run on premium and I think I got about 12L/100km without punching it much. at 70km/h on flat ground you're still doing 2500rpm in 6th. Just sayin'.

Having owned an S2000 for about a year previously, I can speak from experience. first of all - Great car. Probably the best drive out of the any car I'ved owned (lancer, r32 and a 350z). The torque is actually very good in the S2000 (for what it is). Pulled a lot harder than my r32 did until the turbo kicked in. Very usable power too. Even at low speeds in higher gears, the car doesn't get bogged down Look into practicality though, because they have shit all storage space and only two seats. This wasn't an issue for me as I had another car as a daily. Yes, it will get tail-happy if you want it to. But seriously, I don't know why you'd want to drift one. And finally, as some of the more wise members have suggested; I'd look into investment rather than getting a loan. You haven't even got this job yet and you're looking at taking a 25k personal loan for a car that (at 25k) is realistically going to be a minimum of 10 years old, given that only just over 1800 were sold in Australia and 1400 happend to be between '99-'01. I'd also look into insurance. When I had mine at 20, justcar insurance wanted a premium of $2300 (not adjusted) with an excess of $2800 and this was with a shit agreed value, given mine had averaged 7000km/year over it's life. The way I look at it is; You can have a fast car when you're young, but it's going to set you back a hell of a lot more in the long run when you're older. The guy with a 70k a year job and a $5000 car, who invested all this money at 19/20 while you spent all yours will be laughing at you driving a mediocre car in 20 years time and still paying your house off while he parks his porsche 911 in the house he already owns.

Can't imagine they'd give you what you want, or could get privately.

To my understanding, no they don't fit. You'll need to buy an rb20 plenum. Plazmaman are your best bet, but you'll need the throttlebody upgraded and intercooler piping changed. It all adds up to being very expensive for what it is.

Wow, a whole 10 posts in tens of thousands. Cool. What is a 13 year old doing posting on a car website, anyway? Should be off riding your pushbike.
