hey guys im doing my HSC now as well, wish you guys the best of luck. though its off topic i was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to buy used cars. my parents are really fobby so no help there, and im going to check out some r33's in november. basically i wanted to know about rego and how long the buying process takes. my mum said 2 months so i don't believe her. GRK since we're sorta similar could you give me some advice on how to go about it.

   thanks

Hehe yeahh pretty similar we are.. the buying process can take about couple of weeks not a couple of months.. your mum is just trying to turn you off buying a car trust me, my mum would do the same but it's not workin lol.. Rego for me on an R32 GTR will cost about $600 i think not positive, the owner will know what to do and would tell you how to do it, if not do it himself to put the rego into your name if it comes with it already.. But yeah if you have the money for the car then you can have the car within 2 weeks.

P.S. Before you buy the car get it inspected!! and if you can get the engine compression tested at a performance workshop?? to make sure everything is running good and it wont blow on you!!

Hehe, insurance at our age will always be expensive unless your dad owns an insurance company lol.. but aparts from that for my insurance i'll be paying about $4000-$4,500, but it's worth it because if you really want a turbo car then you have to be prepared to pay otherwise your not gonna be happy especially with petrol prices soaring but none of that is going to stop me getting my dream car.

thats expensive. just cars quoted me 3.5k. i posted in the general section too and someone said that red p platers can't buy turbos. is that true?

For me it's not that expensive considering i want a GTR, only because idiots on the road make the insurance go higher because of their constant accidents and insurance jobs that they do, and i know one of them.

No that is not true, if you got your license before July 11th then you can drive turbo and have no restrictions but if you got your license after that date then your restricted to no turbo and some other types of cars. I got my Ps in very late january and i'm all fine, no restrictions what so ever :(.

nope thats wrong.. new P platers CAN buy turbos and v8s BUT they cannot DRIVE it. Hence insurance wont insure new P platers... As they cant legally drive the car.

Then again whats the point in buying a turbo car when u cant drive it. :(

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
