This is like the 3rd thread this kid has posted which happens to be basically the same questions we have all answered before..

yer LOL soz mate im just heaps like exited bout getting my first car...yer a non turbo it be for my p'z tho, and sorry to annoy u diff

Buy it you have a stable source of income.

Obviously a non-turbo skyline will be cheap.. So it shouldnt cost you much at all.

Damn straight it was worth buying a skyline!!! Been nearly 3 years now and never looked back!!

Insurance - Well since its non - turbo it should be a lot cheaper!! We can not answe this question for you as there are many factors involved. Best to ring insurance company and get a quote..

Enjoy

hey guys,

sorry i have been an stupid kid again lol dont worry bout this topic any more...lol

anyways as some of you might know i travel to japan a lot, and i have very good acsess to parts from nismo veilside etc etc and shipping is not a problem thanks to my dads sake company who's head company is in Osaka he ships supplies etc etc here and the crates are lless then half full so if anyone needs some lil parts from nismo...etc oil, turbo's etc etc little things you know i can bring it back later this year just PM me and let me know if you need some small things from japan LOL

Sorry hijaked this topic should i start a new one?

Dont buy it, If your on your p's buy a shitbox.

Save for a GTR and piss off the other kids when you buy a r34 first day your full licence.

Non turbo wont be as fun as a turbo or gtr.

I Rekon it wud be mad having a GTR, even tho rollling up on my first day of year 12 in An R32 Would be just as good to see the other kids looking at me continuesly LOL tht wud be Good

Your first mistake is a R32... Unless its off someone whos spent alot of time on it then id go a r33 or r34 not much between them.

R32's often have problems and the worst thing for a p plated is problems.

haha ask anyone with a "loved" r32 .. Your going to need more money than the cost of the car, btw they are going up in price as you cant import all of them any more.

Buy a r34 auto non turbo 4 door .. $10,000 thats 3g more than a turbo r32.. enjoy the worry free drive and dont crash (which you will prob do, touch wood but id say youd have a knock or two)

a non turbo r32 and r33 are in the shitbox range. you can pick one up for around $5,000 and for what they are they do get around better than a corolla, integra etc.

the real problem is when you actually consider turbo'ing your n/a skyline after you get off your p's.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
