Hey, ive just recently joined the forums, as i did a search for some skyline related forums and came across this nicely looking one.

Im kind of in the process of buying a skyline something along the lines of an R32, and was wondering where i might go about my ways of getting one for a nice price.

Would it be better buying it privately? or through a distributor?

I'm looking towards getting rid of a sonata that's only done 60,000 k's it's a 96. Mac needs his skyline fix.

Thanks fellas for your time.

Mac

www.perthcars.com - I purchased my car (96 R33 Series 2 Gts-t) and Paul (the owner) is a great guy. A few guys have purchased cars through him and many others get parts etc.

www.prestigemotorsport.com.au - Lots of people recommend Geoff. I've never used him, so I can't comment.

Good luck and welcome to SAU :)

Oh god, that is a nice ride. Nice indeed.

You wouldnt happen to be going on a chick named tahlias 18th Car cruise would you? she mainly posts on the antilag forums. if not i could probably get a routemap of the cruise if you are interested.

Yep, it mainly comes down to how much i could get for my car really.

umm yeah i wouldnt trust the braking and handling abilities of some of the OTHER cars attending that cruise :)

macma ring paul at autoworx, he is straight up and will be able to help you for sure even if it is to tell you that he cant bring an r32 in unless its an 89 model

and heck hopefully you can get an r33 if not just for the airbag/s

Macma....Regan has a couple of 32 4doors coming that look sweet www.dcimports.com.au

& Accents have R33 4doors starting from $17000 with 3 year warranty (drove a nice Grey one with a TV & GPS) try www.accentautos.com.au

& YES I know they are all four doors! but thats all I got at the moment :P

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
