15k will get u a good rb20det gtst with a usual mods... most probably an exhaust system and a pod in most cases.

contact the guys at www.j-spec.com.au and they should hook you up with one, or at least subscibe to their update emails, that way you can collect emails advertising em and you'll know roughly what to expect and what to pay for it.

if you're gettin a 32 get it fast, coz as of next montht he compliance price goes up by $2000 and you can no longer compliance any non stock cars : the former is defintely true, btu I think they're flexible on the latter.

if I were you i'd go for a R32 GTS4 (which is a GTSt with AWD like on the GTR) sorta like a halfway between a GTR and a GTSt, you should be able to get one for that price... and you'll definitely notice the difference.

OR wait till about halfway thru 2004 and you should be able to pick up a 1989 R32 (any model: GTS, GTSt, GTS4, GTR) for a cheap price, coz you don't have to comply 15 yr old cars.

Do a few Mods to it and expect to pay well over $3500 a year on insurance. So when u think about it in 4 - 5 years u will have bought another skyline with just Insurance money. Sports cars r not cheap so my advice is if u got no cash forget about moding it to heavy. On the other hand if u r not broke GO FULL HOG.

I would :]

As for choice of car an R33 GTS-t would be Bannana`s.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
