  1. Hmm, I just realised there's a bit of a price discrepancy here: Jazz & Pulsar = <$20000 SP23 & RS = >$29000 I think 9k is a bit of a difference.
  2. Hmm, OK it looks like most people either don't realise that Nissan nearly went broke and got taken over by Renault, or they don't have thoughts as to why Nissan went broke when they obviously didn't spend the money on R&D given that the technology didn't change much.
  3. How was it stolen? Tow truck? Did it have that keypad stuff?
  4. Yep sure, it's the concept of natural variation. The best R32 GTRs may cost more than the worst R33 GTRs. Correct, but missing the point. Personally I would still have got an R32 GTR if I could afford an R33 GTR because the R33 is fugly.
  5. 1989 - R32 GTR (RB26DETT) 1993 - R33 GTST (RB25DET) 1995 - R33 GTR (RB26DETT) 1998 - R34 GTT (RB25DET) 1998 - R34 GTR (RB26DETT) It's refinement sure, but it's all fundamentally the same engine technology over 15 years - even more if you go back to the RB30E. Where did all the money go, surely it doesn't send a company broke to refine existing technology?
  6. Why brokers? Because I wanted to import and I didn't know WTF I needed to do! End of story.
  7. How can you say no to 4WD (especially vs FF)?
  8. I'm sure you could fudge it, but if you ever have an accident the insurance dudes will be all over you like a rash.
  9. Fuel filter z387
  10. Off boost (sub 3000rpm) city driving (65L) = 400km
  11. It's the "look out, I'm an Excel driver, you better give me a wide berth coz I could smash into you at any time" light.
  12. So yours is the same?
  13. Seriously mods, why can't we have some more "sticky"s or an article section that has all these tech specs. R31skylineclub has a nice comprehensive section.
  14. I think you should budget $600 for a good system.
  15. Check oil pump. There's a few threads around about oil pressure being an issue with high powered R32 GTRs. Injectors. Oil, fuel, air filters. Clutch, gearbox Bushes, control arms All that "supporting" equipment not actually creating more power, but making it possible.
  16. Hi all, My aircon is perhaps behaving strangely. Fan on (no a/c), air flow is strong Fan on (a/c on), air flow is strong Fan on (no a/c), recirculated mode, air flow is weak Fan on (a/c on), recirculated mode, air flow is weak BTW I just had my air con worked on by Ultratune (was just blowing hot air before) Shouldn't air flow be stronger in recirculated mode?
  17. Go the RB Cheap as chips, you can blow 3 engines and still have money in the bank.
  18. Go for this one: http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/au/st...sp?StockID=2872 Status Available StockID 2872 Year 1998 Make Nissan Model Skyline R34 GT-T Transmission Auto Kms 107000 Colour Black Price $23,600
  19. S13 Silvia CA18DE Manual --- Mods: Seat covers --- Looked great but slow as shit.
  20. R32 GTRs can be just as unreliable or reliable as any other cars. So the price range for R32 GTRs at the moment is around $16000-$35000. Like anything, you buy from the bottom of the price range and you will get a car accordingly. Remember they were manufactured from 1989 to 1994. If you're really paranoid, try to get a really clean 1994 model. Then you have a car that's *only* 11 years old. Just don't get a really cheap 1989 thrashed out example then bitch about it.
  21. I was more referring to people like: Interior retrimmers Panel beaters/resprayers Valets Etc
  22. Anyone know how to engage a rev limit (e.g. 3000rpm) or speed limit (e.g. 60km/h) so when you leave your car with a workshop, they can't thrash it around?
  23. OK but seriously, if they banned "grey imports", I'd buy a WRX. As if they're going to ban the Japanese manufacturers from locally delivering cars. Bye bye Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Subaru.... not going to happen.
  24. Well everyone's chucking figures about. But here's my argument: You've already done the WRX thing, do you want to do it again? Or do something different with the GTR instead? That's the real question.
