Get FMIC, boost to 1 bar, and ECU.

ECU will get rid of 180km/h problem, plus more power to play with.

Make sure the one you get has the 4 pot brake calipers. You can never have enough braking power.

With any tubocharged car, if you want more power, say goodbye to fuel economy. If you want fuel economy, then get a stock car. If that's still not good economy for you, then get something else cause turbo cars love juice unfortunately.

Well to be truthful to you i originally wanted a VL Calais Turbo...but my old boy persuaded me to buy something newer and not a family car (haha)...and i'm glad he did. I never really thought anything of skylines until i actually paid some attention to them...the R33 is nice but the R32 is much more my style...it's hard to explain....but i don't appreciate the R33 as much because of it's 'largeness' and it's popularity. They are too common.

I had a test drive of a 5spd R32 yesterday...and woah, i'm in love!! haha. I can't wait till i own one. :(

Any skyline is great :(

The ~$100 yeah, is for like a bleed valve which is the like most basic way to increase boost.

High RPM = lots of petrol unfortunately on a turbo. Engine is turning over more, more fuel is pumped in to keep cyclinders moving, etc.. like Silver-Arrowz says.

Check out www.meggala.com for some very useful info - its where i've learned lots of stuff. He has an R32 himself and u can see what he's done to his car in detail.

hehehe yeah im pretty much with u on that :( i love the R32 shape... i dont find the roundness of the R33 as agressive as the squarer, sharper lines of the 32

thats just me and my tastes... everyone has there own. dont get me wrong the 33 is a great car too!!

hey guys, im also looking at buying a 32 --> manual black gts4 2 door if i can get it for 17 grand or under, or just a GTS-t 2 door, wheres the best place to go im melbourne? i dont care if i have to wait for 10 weeks for it to be imported but i would rather drive/see in person first, but i know the gts4 is kinda rare so i guess i'll have to wait.

nah im over in Dingley near springvalle/cheltenham area

hes an importer but hes in japan... so u wont be able to view it in person which is the only thing that probably wont suit u.

i was a bit weird with not being able to view it til i got it... but it was all good once it was here and ive delt with him a fair bit since and beforehand and can highly recommend him as trust worthy... shit hes so trust worthy he sent me the cooler even tho i dont have the money for it yet :thumbsup:

12k for mine landed and complied... i did nothing he did all the work.

doxxeh got a SAFC off him within 5 days of xfering the cash...

click on my link in my sig :mad:

ps. there probably wont be much on his site its more a "what u want? i'll find it" type thing.

cheers,

Ni

shit thats an unreal price

what sort of condition is it in? and how did you guys work out the whole importation thing? sending pictures over the net or phone convos? is your car manual? 2 door? any mods? and last question did you have a few options of cars, or thats it like or not, so many questions cause that price is good

yeah it was a great price... dunno if he will be able to get one as cheaply now with the new rules... altho im sure something can be worked out.

came pretty stock anyways.

-Catback

-Adj. Shocks

was in fairly good condition... i knew all the things it needed to have done as he told me from the start and theyre so minor i havent bothered doing them yet.

(paint work needs a bit of a touch up, but for a 10yo car ud expect that)

pics and stuff are on my webpage which is also linked inmy sig :thumbsup:

dealt with him mainly via emails and pics etc... he actually had to do a swap to get it back as he sold it already to a guy in NSW who was a car dealer and swapped him a Soarer to get it back for me :mad:

ive spoken to him over the phone a few times as he called to tell me that there were a few issues with the trucking company here in australia in getting it to me on the date told... was late by 4 days.

forgot to add... he had it on his webpage for a while before i decided i wanted it... once ur ready to get one and want to use mark to get it then email him... these days he prefers to get a down payment first before he starts to look as he gets too many time wasters making him look for cars then pulling out... just a small amount not sure what it is... bit like a finders fee and if he cant find what u want u get it back etc that he can tell u as he will know for sure :thumbsup:

      Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary.

      There's another sensor that sits inside the evaporator, that's a C U N T to get to, but can be done without removing the entire unit. Usually it's not the sensor that dies but the actual capacitor in the circuit (part of the plug that dies).

      Putting the climate control CU into diagnostic mode is independent of the ECU. You just have to do the dance prescribed in the manual. No, I do not know what the dance is. I have an R32, so use the dance in the R32 manual. On older cars, I would have said "no, the ECU should not affect whether the A/C works".... but for an R34 that might be wrong. I don't recall the detail, but there was extra mods required to make my R32 A/C work against the R34 ECU. The R34 ECU apparently gets involved in the running of the A/C more than earlier cars did. Theoretically, if the PFC is a true plug in, then it should just work the way that the original ECU does - wrt A/C. But there's always scope for them to have not cared. Nope. Pressure switch out = getting the fridgey out to pump the gas out before pulling the switch. The switch really cannot sense gas pressure unless it is up against the gas.

      Hi guys, thanks for the replies.  I will have to wait till summer to test properly, but it short cycles both when heating and cooling. I’ve ordered a new internal temp sensor that sits under the vent in the steering wheel also, GTSBOY, I have an Apexi FC ecu, I’m assuming I won’t be able to diagnose or would it still work? Could the ecu be causing the problem??   the pressure switch is quite cheap I will get a new one and try it out, hopefully it doesn’t require purging the refrigerant again?
