Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

haha thanks :D

it has a few nicks and nacks here and there.. but little TLC and she'll be good :D

ps; i see your edit, Narh, SR20DET with T28BB ;D

if the motor dies, it will be my mission to make a 'Nissan's version of a hatchback skyline'

So that means RB25, and the plastic overface thing for the tail lights + type X lights + GTR bumper + grill + the list goes on..

but the SR20 is running very nice!

Hello everyone, long time lurker fairly new poster.

Just wanting some advice if possible. I am currently looking at purchasing a skyline and am wanting somthing mechanically sound. I have recently found a car and was wondeing if there is anywhere that does pre purchase inspections? I know of RAA etc, but have been told there knowledge of imports isnt great. I am a female without a huge amount of mechanical knowledge and I dont want to be taken for a ride.

Thankyou for your input in advance

you can buy my r33 gtst! 20k with almost everything you need unless you're more into cosmetics

i want a honda :D

NO! NO! NO! NO!!!!!!

Don't EVER mention that word on here again!!

F*cking bullshit place. My entire family has had dodgy dealings with that place, including me.

Don't EVER take ANY car there!! No matter how shit it is!!!!!!

2nd hand wheel bearings, snapping drive shafts, missing nuts... the list goes on.

Never again.

lol ok mate

I used them a while back for rebuilding the R31 driveshaft and some commo work nothing more , they have won many RAA awards for best shop in south.???

Yep they were fantastic until Rod retired and his Son Brenton took over. When Rod was heading it, the service was fantastic and no bullshit, either.

Once Brenton stepped in, the place has gone down-hill. My wheel bearing seized on me, so I took the car in (old car) to get it replaced. 2 weeks later, bang... wheel bearing had seized on me and my drive-shaft snapped, too. Went to Rod Prime, confronted them, and Brenton admitted they had used a 2nd hand wheel bearing from U-Pull-It yet charged me full price for a brand new one!! And they even left one of the wheel nuts off!

They also fitted the wrong water pump to the car (how they did that, I'll never know) and then told me I needed a brand new gear box, even though the gear box was fine and had been rebuilt only a few months prior.

Brenton is the rudest prick you'll ever talk to. He has 0 customer service and gives you real attitude. There's plenty of others in the same boat as I'm in, ever since Brenton took over.

Yeah, that is why I went over for the Melbourne Motor Show a couple of months back - to get my new car fix and have a gander at the R35GTR and the 370Z before they officially came out.

      Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way

      Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago

      Honda's hybrid system can be easily scaled up to PHEVs. Series hybrid at low speeds, at higher speeds the engine directly drives the wheels but there can still be some power bled off to charge the battery + the electric motor can still provide parallel assistance too. It's really only a question of will at that point. Toyota's PHEVs are selling incredibly well at the moment because of the flexibility. You can run on EV mode when it makes sense, but if you're planning on doing a long highway drive you can still fire up the gas engine and not have to worry about dealing with the rather miserable state of public charging infrastructure.

      Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.
