Veeedka,

That is a damn fine car you picked up !! :P

There's always going to be someone telling you that you "could have" or "should have" etc but what you've got is a sweet ride !! So go out and enjoy it !!

And think about the money you don't have to spend upgrading the turbo or installing a FMIC etc, etc, etc. :laugh:

Oh........ and welcome to the world of "Skylines" :)

That's what I thought :laugh:

It's an awesome car to drive! I love the fact that I don't have to worry about rolling my car when going around corners anymore... so much easier and more fun!

Ah, I can see myself having fun with this for a while...

And thanks :laugh:

How often are NSW skyline cruises? haha.

I'm in actually in the same situation as Veeedka was, when he looking for a skyline. I asked around if i should get a GTS and put in a turbo later on, but people advised me not to due to some having problems with high compression or something. Or removing the turbo from a GTS-T. So i opted to get a GTS and later on sell it to another kid in my situation who wants a skyline but must buy a GTS and i'll go get a GTS-T or GTR later on.

When it comes to cars, im an absolute noob. I was reading a thread on what to look for in a skyline, what i should be aware of and what problems to look for. My dad has some decent knowledge about cars but i don't think he would be able to spot everything listed.

A few things what im really concearned about is buying a rebirthed car (no idea where to look for if its legit or not, PIC's of the typical place it would be would be some nice help :) ) or a car which has been in an accident where the suspension has been damaged (after hearing the car will never be able to drive straight again).

Realistically what do you guys do when you buy/bought a car(skyline)?

Seems there are so many things to look for that it wouldn't be done in 1 day, coz seriously i would hate to have some guy coming more than 1 day having a constant look at the car for hours and taking it for spin and pushing the car.

Just an out of the blue question, what kind of mods are legal for P's after the restrictions? Exhaust, filters, Cold air intake or whateva? I won't be planning on putting it straight away, since i need to learn how to walk before i can run :thumbsup:

EDIT:

and i do prefer the r33 looks over the r32 :P

rebirthed skylines is a bit of a misnommer

often it is high kay engines that get rebirthed - or gtr's

a simple rac/nrma/whatever company is in ur state check with the engine number and chassis number and all that should be a sufficient check

and searching the forums helps - make the search ur best friend!!!

I was in the same situation as you, you've got a perfect amount of cash right there eh, any GTS around you can pretty much get. I picked up my r33 gts gunmetal grey, 74000k's for 12.7 from a dealer with lots of goodies :P Start looking on carsales.com.au and carpoint.com.au

      I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      R33 fuel setup

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
