yeah the 180 will beat the 33 with the same mods, same as silvia k with same mods, it will beat the 33, but only just, by jack shit margin

forget mods, get a car for 19500 instead, much better quality, for that much should land u a 1994/1995 series 1.5 model instead of a 1993 model for 16500

worry about mods later on

any 1994 or 1995 model will most likely come with some mods, ie zorst, pod filter ,boost controller etc.. very rarely stock

well i dont know which insurance companys ur going through bu i have had my perants ring up and they have said that the premium increases because im on the insurance but it does not put me on first because all of my brothers are on it, the premium will obviously suck but its certainly not $4000 i know that for sure, places like just cars have quoted me $2900 just for my slef, if u dont believe me give them a call ur slef. nram are pretty good so also give them a call. the premium is under $2000 but the excess is like $1000 or somthin.

I got my '95 R33 GTSt 5sp late last year for $17,000 (stock as a rock) off a private importer (avoid dealerships) he was nice enough to throw in 12 months rego and pay all the stamp duty etc. (saved me $1,000–$1,500)

It had 60 000 kms on the clock but I would disregard the K's on imports... just judge by condition of car...

If the car is stock make sure there is no previous signs of modification ie there used to be a FMIC but its not there now. (This usually means the car was boosted...)

It might also be worth paying a little bit extra to get a '95 model as they came with a few extra goodies (Like series 2 rear wing, airbag etc)

My best advice would be look at a lot of cars and don't make your mind up before you go just get the best condition car for the best price... not just visually make sure it still hauls ass...

My mate got a '93 for $14,500 with zorst, two stage boost control, 17" rims, lowered springs/shocks, POD...etc... mainly because he busted the guys balls and he really wanted to sell... so I think $19,500 is plenty...however allow at least $3,000 in on road costs...unless you can get the seller to throw in rego etc.

Oh and 180's kick ass but generally get less respectful treatment by there owners than Skylines...

Hope that is helpful

i Bought my R33 M-spec (1995) for $17 750 with 71 000 km in absolutly immaculate condition and 2 years warrenty! (private seller). Came with a beautiful 3 inch turbo back exaust, K&N pod filter and boost guage. No Massive Mods.

so that would leave u just about enough to put some nice 18's with good tred or a FMIC (rember stock width is usually 205mm, pin dick if your gonna put the boost up). Save up for Eboost and pump that boost up to 12 and wax thoes 180s :D:)

But yeah u get the idea of prices from every 1.

**** the dealers.

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Watermouse · Posted

      I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again

      Rv37 400r questions

      No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
