The majority of N/As that I've seen have been autos. In fact I can't even remember having seen one that wasn't (not that I'm saying there aren't any out there).

I know it's not what you want to do, but I think you'd be better waiting and you'll probably end up with a better car in the long run when you're ready and able to drive the turbo.

If I found a nice 33 for the right price then i'd get it no hesitation....my kinda goal is to get something fun now - to last me a year or so, so I can save up & buy something way better part way through next year.

Take advice from somone who wated there money on a NA DONT do it.. TRUST me you'll regret it so much later that extra money you spent on a NA skyline that barely moved could have gone towards more mods on your new r33 ... Just take my advice trust me your going to hate yourself later :)

Yeah - Don't start me on the MR2. Toyota has admitted to importing a X19, stripping it and basing the original MR2 on it!! Kinda wanting to not have a two seater, as i'm usually designated driver! I raced against one at Wakefield Jan this year, though it was turbo. Didn't seem to bad - that being said, he had more spins then I did...

The MR2s are little less forgiving on the limit, a lot better after 92 but the brakes arent great in stock trim.

Shame about the 2 seats though.

You might have rego dramas w/o engineers report onthe 32 though.

328i? 2j Supra N/A? Maybe too $$

Not sure what year it was - def one of the older ones though. Yeah I know that it may have dramas with rego without a engineers report - but it has rego till jan 2012, by then i'll have my blacks and hopefully the turbo motor back in & engineered for that (if it even needs it?)

As for a 328i - i've looked at BMW's and Alfa's - Eurpoean. I've learnt my lesson with European cars & Parts. Costs a sh1tload. Even at mates rates! Never really liked the look of Supras, but would be open.

I guess that doesn't leave you too many options, RWD N/A 4 seats, japanese and fun to drive......just about explored all options here and since we are on a Skyline forum, then it could be an RB25 powered 32 since its potentially the best "bang for your buck" car in N/A for your circumstances.(only if you can beat the price down a fair bit, a non-engineered conversion is not worth that kind of money IMO)

Hell I just sold a R34 GT-T auto sedan for $8500 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/352396-r34-gt-t-auto-sedan-in-canberra-8500/page__st__20__p__5664504__fromsearch__1#entry5664504 thats only $1600 more than the car you are looking at, and while I understand that it would not have suited your needs, just comparing value for money makes the 32 look more like $3500 than $6900

I am all out of suggestions.

Good Luck, Tony

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
