Hey guys, been looking at your forum for about a month and i gota say big thumbs up :D learned so much stuff i didnt know.

Anyways im only 18 but looking for a R32 GTS non turbo. Is it possible to get one for around the 10k mark or should i save more? I've checked out the Prestige website and they seem to have some great cars, has any one bought anything from them? Good / Bad experiences?

Hope to speak to everyone on the forum soon :headspin:

Chris

Hey Chris welcome to the forum! Check out the R33 GTS25 for sale for $11000 on this site - it's a bargain!located in Melbourne as well. see http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=30053 for details.

shop around and you might find a R32 for $10000 but remember to allow for the other costs such as stamp duty, insurance, registration etc.

cheers

Chris - 10k is enough.

My car(when purchased)- 92mdl, GTS25, Stock appart form 17" rims, Immaculate interior and exterior, 69800kms, 12mths redgo(sticker wasnt even on the car when i purchased) - $9400, only downside is it was auto, but the 2.5ltr in the r32 more than makes up for this........

Only advice - look around everywhere, i hit the tradingpost webby every thursday morning, and eventually i found this car. I was originally in the hunt for a early model silvia k's or 180sx but this car caught my eye, and there just seems to be more stigma in owning a line ;).....good luck on your search.

As for insurance im on a monthly payment scheme, comprehensive is going to knock your back pocket severely so i didnt go for it. But i got a pretty decent deal

*3rd party property +

*10k fire and theft

Works to be about a $45 monthly payment, no biggie. So if you thinnk you have the control to not drive like a nut, then this policy is ok. Downside is, if you get hit by someone who isnt 3rd party property insured....bad luck, hit a kangaroo..bad luck...get hit by a drunk driver, insured or not, their company will avoid them like the plague.....bad luck again........but its a risk i take, i got some small damage on my car from a car park, but to get it repaired even if i was comprehensivly insured would be cheaper outa my own pocket, because the excess on making a claim would be greater than the repair bill.......

P.S - Welcome to the forums :D

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.

      How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.

      I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
