hey guys,

i'm new to the site and new to skylines in general. i posted this thread in another section of the site but i only found out about the NA section now.

i've had my Ps for a couple of months now and am looking for a first car.

a family friend of ours is selling a 93 model R33 GTS4 auto non turbo RB25DE. its black, immaculate condition inside and out, not a single scratch on the body. all stock except for the full body kit. its done 80,000 Ks. i know i should be going for a manual but i'm in Vic and have an auto license so i can't drive manual till i'm off my Ps.

he's askin $7,500 for it. does the price sound about right for this car? i have no idea what these cars go for

so any help is greatly appreciated

cheers

Sounds like a good deal to me, sucks with your laws how you need to wait till you're off your P's to drive a manual... I did both tests :rofl:

Yea so if you're keen on it get it, your only other option really is to get an even cheaper run about auto until you can get something nicer in a manual.. although for that price it could be considered a run about anyway.

Get it! :rofl:

save your money and buy GTR when you have money and skill to drive it.

he's not planing on getting a GTR now, he didnt even mention it? :thumbsup:

For that money you will not find a better car. period. get it before someone else does! cheap motoring. at that price there will be bugger all depreciation. RB25DE is pretty good on fuel too. I average around 9L/100km (manual). Just confirm that he has serviced it and not thrashed it too much!

If you've got your auto license but want a manual car, then do your manual test and then look for a manual car. Don't get an auto if you like driving a manual or you will regret it.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
