Don't totally dismiss a 33. They have always been my least favorite skyline. I Had to sell my r32 gtr as it was unlicensed and I sold and purchased another house so i needed the money for that. Purchased a 33 for $9600 in ok condition and i haven't had a problem yet, very nice daily driver easy in traffic even with the HD clutch. Still not my favorite skyline but i actually like them now.

xmas spirit bitch.. time for giving lol

LOL :)

Budgets are tight Alex this time of year. Traditionally, dealers find car sales hard slogging over the Xmas period.

Private vendors are concerned that as 2010 approaches, their cars will be deemed as 1 year older.

So collectively, it becomes a buyers' market for 2 months.

+1 for not touching a 32 gtr for 15k.

also +1 for looking at a 33. you could pick up a nice one for 15k that will have some decent mods, or buy a relatively stock one and do mods to get you up around 250 to 260kw.

R33 are teh VL Turbo of the Skyline world, not inherently bad, and have some good bits, but nothing special either.

R32GTS-4 brah, halfway to a GT-R and by the sounds of it you must have driven some pretty shabby examples of R32s! (the cool factor is just an added bonus)

Any R34 for 15k is likely to be a dodgy POS anyway, so Stagea maybe?

LOL and what's wrong with that, autos are tops :) I've got a super duper list of bits on my one, to be honest I reckon the price would be around $16K for a nice quick sale. It's still very tidy so have no doubt it'll go :blink: Bring on June!!!

I picked up a clean '98 model R34 GT-t manual coupe for $17800 from Atomu Watanabe, has a business on the sunny coast called Japanese Auto Work Shop (JAWS) where he imports through Phoenix Imports if I remember correctly.

I got my manual 2001 series 2 r34 GTT for 17.5k including stamp duty, rego and 1 year warranty so without on road costs it would of been 16 to 16.5k but obviously pretty pointless taking on roads as you have to pay those

I wouldn't touch any 32 GTR under 20k, all the half decent ones I've looked at over the past few months have been upwards of 25k and for that money I'd rather get a r34 GTT. You can buy a standard GTT for around 20k now from dealers(in vic anyways) or around the same price with a few mods privately. I've seen a few r34's for around 18k but they were not exactly clean examples.

I still don't know why there is such a price gap between 33's and 34's, i mean a series 2 33 can be had for less then 15k easy, but a bog stock 34 you looking at 20k plus. Yes the 33's are more common but so what, they still look good and there isnt really that much difference mechanically. You could buy a 33 for say 12-13k then spend the extra money on mods and have a 250kw atw car for under 20k easy.

I say 34 if your willing to save up or just buy a really nice 33, OR you could get a stagea :/ .

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
