Looking For A Na To Buy

[WGNPWR]

Hi guys

Im looking to buy a NA as i just wrote off my last car (old car, small collission seems to have made a lot of damage, and therefore is a writeoff in the eyes of the insurance company)

On my green P's, so dont have a choice sadly

Looking for a R32 or R33, preferably stock and manual

Can anyone help me?

pm me here if you can

cheers

+ parts a genuinely cheaper to buy for turbos than they are for n/a's if you can friggin find the parts . but then again i guess many of the n/a owners on the forum get joe the mechanic down the road to do the work for them.

easy now fellas

im not even going to dignify that remark , with a response

anywho back to the topic. in regards to this thread . many of my friends have been able to squeeze through there exemptions by passing 'their car' off as a business car and applying for it through the rta . do some investigations into it. i assure you it will be worth it

butch, u clearly dont know much about turbo vs n/a vehicles.... you say put the n/a stuff on.... is that including raising the compression? does that include changing the ecu? because otherwise the car will run like ass and a corolla will crap all over it.... u'd struggle to get up hills....

in the end...after u change headgaskets/exhaust manifold/intake lines and pipes/block of oil intake and return lines/block of water intake and return lines/exhaust dump-front/ecu/and the other crap.... u'd wish that the bloke that told u to do it on the forums had keept his mouth shut about a topic he knew little about......

gl with the search thabsenceofcolour, the only thing I can say to u is wait for the right one to come along, it may take a while but it is worth it.

cheers bro

seems like your from my part of town

another question about buying an N/A

would i be better to:

1. spend a fair bit less on a car that has done more k's and try and source a newer motor and put it in (thinking an RB25) or

2. spend a bit more on that elusive car that has done less k's (havent seen many under 100k, but looks like importing one i can get something around the 60k mark for about 10k or so)

tips that will help would be appreciated

[W0rp3D]

Just remember that most of the cars that come from japan have had the clocks wound back or the dash changed so you never really know how many k's they have on them.

Mine had just under 200,000k's when i got it, 20,000 later and a lot of abuse from a hi flow wound up to 17psi its starting to show signs or wear, if i was you if everything looks good (rust, interior, hanging panels and general over all condition) get a thorough check done on it and go from there, these engines with a turbo on them has been proven to handle the k's if well looked after, no reason why you cant find a good high k one for cheaper.

[KezR33]

What the guy above me said is spot on.

Assume that EVERY R33 has been wound back. I'm not saying they all are, but you really can't tell on some.

With that in mind, you pretty much can ignore the number of k's and just look at the condition of the car, how it drives, etc.

Be extra wary of any car under 100,000km because they're almost certainly wound back, and you'll just end up paying more for nothing.

[WYTSKY]

yeh it sucks that it can be pretty easy to wind back the kms....

in my opinion, i still wouldnt go for skylines that have done over about ~150,000.... some may be fine and well looked after, but others I would say could start to show their issues at that stage....

I paid 12,000 ready on the road + insurance for my non turbo 33 gts4 in 2006... with apparently genuine kms of 84,000.... the racv inspection (I think its ~$100-200, depending on how indepth they check, tells a massive story... I did it 4 times... and 4 times it saved me from buying absolute lemons, even though they looked really good.... on the 5th time they said shes a really neat example and the kms seem about right and it was mine.... overall, i looked for about 9-10 months before I found 1 that was decent...I know now the hunt for non turbos is much higher due to the p plate laws.... still though, im happy I waited that long because the engine is strong and I have turboed it she still goes 100% perfect...

I had just given everyone a verbal warning telling everyone to take it easy!

butch and W0rp3D you both now have a warning!

when you both signed up the rules clearly state:

W0rp3D you are correct in the facts, however the execution needs work. I expect a little more maturity from a long term forum user.

Butch you can't go around the forum swearing and giving misleading information. Smarten up if you'd like to contribute further to the forum.

Rude and abusive remarks removed and thread reopened. Next person to step out of line receives another warning!
