Hey, just need to get something off my mind. 

Im riding a 94 civic sedan VTi at the moment. Looking to upgrade in 6-8 months to a larger car with more speed. I really like the look of skylines and the power that they have. And i know it is going to cost more to maintain and run it and insure it over my civic. But is it really that bad? Im on my 2nd year on P's, and havent had any trouble on the street. And i got a job that is paying me 26 a hour. 

Also is it hard to find a 4 door skyline, prefer r33, manual, turbo, clean not much engine mods etc. Wanting to go for a cruiser with abit of power. What price range should i be looking out for cause i know there are alot of overpriced skylines. 

Not in a rush, just want to prepare myself.

hey arjay,

im actually trying to sell my 32 4 door at the moment, i know its not a 33. (but i think the 32's are nicer anyway)

its got a few mild mods, hi flow turbo, zorst, fuel pump, fmic. its had a recent respray too.

with insurance, i got it 3 years ago when i was still on my p's and full cop thru just car was just over 2 grand.

one thing you might want to check is if its actually legal for you to drive on your p's.

anyway heres a pic of mine, you can pm me if your interested, im asking about 12 for it.

Go 4 an R33 4 Door. I have had R32 4 Door but the R33 4 door I have now is a much nicer car with better running gear. Nobody is really importing them anymore as you can buy them in Aus for around $9k to $11k and thats how much it would cost you to import and compliance a tidy Series 1 one from Japan. You also get the bonus of never being pulled over as they just look like any normal late model 4 door car unless you put "look at me wheels" or "Wank Wank Wanker" 110db exhaust on it. Dont pay more then $11k for a Series 1 and $13k for a Series II but you can get tidy cars for as low as $8500 like this one

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
