RB25DET. I would if I could.

Depends on how much the car is gonna cost me.

I gotta pay insurance, etc for my Camry too.

The way I see it, is Turbo = $$ insurance for 18 y/o

Save money from the insurance, add nice

sound system, bodykit and possibly turbo conversion in

a few more years.

I'd get a r32 gtr. r32 are cheap and fun, I got a r33, and its nice, but the series 2 is what i'd go for, mainly for the extras. and they going to be mainstream shortly.

 

also welcome.

First of all welcome Eug.. If you are looking for a r33, get a series 2 like Zoix said coz the series 2 looks much better stock than the series one stock. ;)

I only recently got me car.. so check out www.carsales.com.au, www.carpoint.com.au and also www.tradingpost.com.au. There was quite a few 33s, when I was looking for a skyline as well.

On top of the mentioned sites.. do a search for import car yards in yellowpages.com.au most of them also have websites that is slightly out of date...

If your 18.. the insurance for a GTST will cost you an arm and a leg.. but some people can still afford it... :|

Last but not least.. Colors is not a major factor (it can be changed relatively easy), probably better off looking for one that you can afford that is in good/reasonable nick with good engine and things.. :D

Just my 2c worth. Good luck to your car hunting dude and once again welcome.. :wavey:

As always I use my trademark welcome line:

"Welcome to your new addiction!"

Yeah they are coming out of the woodwork, must be all those l337 looking fliers I have been littering all makes and models of skylines with :)

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
