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

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
