man i only paid $1100 through just cars with my non turbo on my p's

they are a great car and go just fine, you get all the looks and if you just dont do stupid things you will come out great.

No one knows what under your bonnet until you show or do some stupid so if he plays it right he will never be looked down on ever.

And no mater if its non-turbo or turbo its a skyline and we know we all love them.

Dont forget insurance, it might be worth looking at www.justcars.com.au and doing a quote.

I think you'll will find you will still be up for $2000 a year, even though its non-turbo.

PS i'm from Mt Martha, which school did/do you go to?

:P

i intend to do alot of exterior work (body kits and neons)

note: I know they are illegal but u can install a switch to turn them off, use for show-offs or cruising

If i cannot find a black skyline R33 GTS (non-turbo) i will repaint it with Jet Black, but i dont know how expensive it is to repaint etc. as i hear there can be double coat etc. for it (im new to the whole custom thing lol :P

3. What type of amp will i need for?? (4 channel 400 watt kenwood or sony)

First of all, neons r legal only if the tube is hidden so if u have ur neons turned on and the actual neon tube is visible then u will be defected for it, but if they r under ur side skirts, front bar etc its ok

Second getting a car resprayed is fairly expensive but if that dosnt bother u then sand it down urself and save some money.

thirdly, dont buy sony car amps, subs or speakers cause they r crap

hey thanks for the info on insurance :D

i have seen the adds for Just Cars so i was already going to try them out for a quote :D

do you suggest third party with fire + theft or fully comp??

i did a quote for third party and its $690

i have submited a new quote to find out the fully comp but has anyone got the price so i can compare it to the new quote? :D

i am currently going to the Peninsula School (mount eliza) righta cross from Mount Eliza Primary :( in year 12

and thats cool i work at flakey jakes in bentons square (right next to mt martha) :) i work thursday nights and saturday nights (5 - 9pm) so if ur in the area be sure to drop in hehe :)

cheers again for all the info

and i will remember not to get the sony amps, speakers etc. :)

merlin6014 1) a non-turbo will come in well under $15K, maybe under $10K? good luck selling it though - its hard enough to sell an import let alone a non-turbo one.

Exactly my words, expect to lose about 4 grand in value of your non turbo as soon as you buy it, cause when reselling, its gonna be sooo hard. I just sold my non turbo skyline and had to drop the price to sell it. I lost about 4 grand in resale. The n/a market is so very small.

Dont make the this fatal mistake.

I am 21 turning 22 in august, i have been driving since 18 which means 4 yrs+ of driving. I am given Rating 2 ( dunno why ) at $1100 from Just Cars for a R33 GTST S2. You are 18 yrs old, which means you most probably just driven for 1 yr plus?? I think you will need to pay about $2000 for the turbo car. Maybe less for non-turbo? The 3rd party insurance is pretty standard for everyone, i was qouted $680 as well for 3rd Party fire and theft. Once you start modding the car, your insurance price will raise as well.

Cheers

Hey

The final question i have about the car is just about the difference in fuel consumption between the R33 Turbo and R33 Non-Turbo

im not a car engine buff as u may have noticed :P but im just curious

How many liters per 100km is a R33 Turbo?

How many liters per 100km is a R33 Non-Turbo?

i have read many many different responses to this in the search

but if they are both running BP Ultimate Ron 98 or something similar

my real worry about the turbo is, how much more money are they to run in the long run with maintenance (talking 5 + years) and also do they drink a bit more in fuel department??

i know there are other threads about it but i just want to make 100% sure before i jump into buying either one :unsure:

thanks for all the help

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
