S13 is a very basic car with not much to write home about...

But that's the glory of them ..

R33 sedan would be another point of interest for you..

Uhmm

Corolla? Ke70?

I have a friend with an NA 2jz mx73 Cressida that's low and stanced on rims that he will be selling soon that will be in your budget...

2jz... Rwd... 5spd manual... Rims... Low... Cressida.

I love s13 to an extent I've been down since the first few started coming into the country in 1997/98 however I think there are more interesting and character filled cars to be had.

What about NA supra even??

Jonno, theres one here unregod...

http://www.silviawa....showtopic=64302

Imo buy the youngest skyline you can as it'll generally have less problems and be trouble free fun.

i is scared of unrego

still stuck on exams :( i shall go hunting again after

i still needa register on Silvia WA

nono trust me .. you dont want a non turbo :P

its the slow

I think you should go around and test drive some cars first then make your decision :)

while the 34 looks nice - i sort of wish i got a less nice looking car with much nicer power but im attached and dont want to sell it

have a drive of any suggestions in this thread you like the sound/look of, if you cant find a manual n/a 34 to have a drive of you can come have a feel of mine someday if you like - if you wait awhile there'll be new coilovers in too thumbsup.gif

but make sure to drive a turbo! its important to know what you'd be sacrificing :P

Cheers for the help guys. Yeah i have a few mates with imports and ive driven most of their cars i think. Ive driven an 01 wrx, 32 gtst, n/a s13 and a soarer v8 so far. And what are some good sites to look for imports? Because i seem to be stuck on just gumtree, car sales, silWA and SAU.

also check out auto trader magazine, and google for importers around perth

I think autoworx, DC imports, .. theres tons really! :)

btw what did ya think of the soarer v8? I was sorta considering getting one :P

but tis auto, i like manual

Alright sweet i'll have a look around tonight through them.

Well to be honest the v8 is more of a cruiser than a true sportscar compared to the TT's, with a half decent exhaust they sound incredible though, but handling wise theyre not so good. Most of the ones that i have seen have the factory airbag suspension system so to get a good handling one you need to look for a UZZ30 model, they had normal coilovers all round. True they are all auto but one was floating around a few weeks ago for sale with a W58 supra 5 speed conversion in it for 10k i think

I like the older ones actually .. the more square ones rather than the round ones

plus my budgets like 4k max! :P

the supra converted one would be quite fun i imagine :)

btw DCimports had a wiideee range of skylines when i was there 3 years ago ... should be still the same

Ive seen quite a few people recommending him too if im not wrong

although at the time he was asking 20k for a n/a 4 door 34! I ended up getting mine for 15k imported - Carizma in melbourne had it, and I knew a mechanic in melb who was a friend of the owner .. but still go check em out :)

Yeah there are some factory manuals but only TT's, the supra converted one i mentioned was a v8. You can get a half decent soarer for 4k, but a lot of them have fairly high km's on them. Theres a nice white one on gumtree now for about 6k? i think. haha now im giving you advice on cars.

Yeah i just had a quick look at both sites and the range was pretty good and tons of info on each car. I spose what im looking for isnt the easiest thing to find, heaps of turbos but all the n/a's are auto which is teh ghey. Tiptronic kind of bridges the gap but how exactly does it work? I know it has a normal auto box with a quickshift thing on the side, but how do the steering wheel controls work? Ive never actually seen one close up

yeap n/a + manual + coupe was quite hard to find

i think all? of the 34s in auto have tiptronic but i actually have no clue, ive never driven one before, quite curious too actually, always wondered about the steering wheel controls

I know someone with one though - I can ask if u want :)

    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
    • Yes, but no. I wouldn't want an IC7, because I think they are ugly, cramped and most of the displays I've seen are garish (and granted the last bit can probably be avoided). I wouldn't want to pay for the UC10. Probably wouldn't want to pay for the IC7, for that matter. And, it's an R32. I have cable drive speedo. Although, thinking about it, that's not a big obstacle, because at least I can throw the electronic sender back into the R33 box and then find a way to emulate the original (R32 or R33) speedo head's conversion of the saw-tooth AC speed signal into the square wave that the ECU wants, without the 1990s approach of hiding a gutted speedo head behind the dash. (another Arduino project, no doubt). I like the technical aspects of the big digital dashes, but I aesthetically and just general originality and feel-wise, like the original dash enough. More? Yes, more. If I had a UC10 I'd want to make the dash look as close to the original one as possible most of the time, and only flash up "DANGER TO MANIFOLD" when it needed to. But the other aspect of the 3-DIN slot digi gauge that I'm contemplating is that I'm a tinkerer and can barely resist a project, even if I don't need to add another to the list of unfinished ones. And I think there's enough precedent of others out there that have proven which equipment works (ie, is not washed out, or slow, or prone to failure, or all the other problems that can afflict such a project). I'm not quite enough of a micro-controller tech head that I know the best way to approach all of these decisions, and so striking out on my own to achieve it years ago would have led to unhappiness. But now, it seems like a project that I can actually achieve on the first or second go, with only a few sleepless nights. And that's why I'm actively thinking about it now. I would much rather have a thing in my car that I made from more-or-less scratch that does what I want, rather than something that someone else made that does some of what I want, not other stuff I want, and/or annoys me in some fashion. If I'm going to be annoyed, I need it to be my fault, so I know who to blame, and who needs to fix it. As an example of that - I have surveillance cameras at home. No, I did not go buy a kit with a DVR and 4 or 8 or 16 off-the-shelf cameras in a kit. No, I did not want to use any sort of could service to record or access the feeds and recordings from outside the house. No, I bought my chosen cameras directly (from China, lol) and built the DVR myself using a couple of different (ie, this was attempt 1 and attempt 2 to get a system I liked) software packages, running on Linux, with the server being a virtual machine running Proxmox. I found a way to offload the image recognition part of the system to a dedicated AI processing board (a Coral TPU, for anyone who cares) with the hardware passed through to the server on the VM, motion detection offloaded to the GPU, all storage is local in the home network, accessible from outside via my own self-hosted VPN). All done so that I could seal off the Chinese cameras in their own network where they can't access the internet and dial home to the CCP and backdoor my network. All things that you can't have if you do what is commercially available. And even with all the f**king around it has still cost a fraction of what it would cost to buy commercially.
    • ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...
