holy crap yes! it's scary aswell as I know I have better brakes then they do!
I have full comp but I drive like I don't as it costs too much too make a claim.
i got a dodgey mechanic to check the car before I bought it. So far it's cost me $1,500 in getting it up to scratch (replace clutch cylinders, gaskets, power steering pump, right front boot plus a few others I can't remember now).
I was driving my R32 this morning, just cruising at around 60km p/h and suddenly I got a really weird engine noise / feel. I stopped at the lights and it felt really "lumpy" a bit of a "put put" engine sound like what the VW Beetle makes (but not as high pitched).
I gave it a bit of rev when stationary (quick tap up to about 2 - 2.5) and much the same. I then proceeded to drive off normally in the hope that it was just an intermittent thing to no avail. I drove on boost and that was fine. Then I guess suddenly it went back to normal (ie. not lumpy). After that the car was fine.
I checked out the engine after I parked (with it still on) but I couldn't find anything wrong.
Does anyone have any idea? (Note I wasn't boosting hard before it happened. Just normal driving.) It got serviced last week, just an oil change etc... I've done a few hundred km's over the weekend without incident.
Apparently the car's done 60,500 but I fear it may be wound back
saw JEF33R today parked in Auburn.
Also saw many other Skylines over the weekend...a lot of waves from me...none returned damn rude people, don't deserve to drive such a good car!
stock R32 can be had for around $14K
stock R33 can be had for around $17K
I went with the R32 because it looked better (IMO), and is less common than the R33. I'd prefer an RB25DET but I'm not really complaining, a lightly modified RB20DET will still knock the pants off most cars on the road.
A RB30DET will fit (barely) in a R32. Sydneykid has one (I think).
If you're a tall bloke the R32 might be a bit squashy for you. I'm 6'1 and 70kgs yet I find my R32 a bit squashy. I'm not sure how I'll trackday with a helmet (I have a sunroof so I have less headroom). The seats are nice and comfy and hold me in tight, if you're large I'd go the R33.
Can I get an estimate price for:
GReddy PRofec B-Spec boost controller
GReddy remote switching system
Also do these prices include shipping / taxes from Japan or are they extra?

some people have gained 30rwkw with the SAFC tuned. Different cars, different mods, different tuners, different gains.
As far as I know it's universal (unlike the PowerFC).
