Well thanks to Boosted who works for shannons (see R33 insurance thread), my decision on which car just got harder, he quoted me almost $1k less than any other insurance company for a rex

The quoted me ~$1770 for an 03 wrx, with $900 excess

My quote with justcar for an R33 is $1080 with a $1500 excess

An R33 skyline would be good as id save money for overseas next year, i know im only going to own it for a minimum of 1, max of 2 years, i dunno what to do :)

as MrItaly! said, 180rwkw is a full exhaust, front mount and pod filter. thats maybe $1500 worth of mods?! Find a neat stock manual series 2 for $15K and spend $1500 on those enhancements and you will have your power target achieved.

mate u really gotta let me know where u gettin ur mods done that cheap!! :O

Well i was coming on here to ask the same question.

Basically i am after a white R33 type-M, has to be manual and has to have under 80k on the clock, has to be about 15k. I have had several talks with Joel form ausie car complance, as i know they DO NOT BUY cars withouth genuine log books, non of this winde the clock back stuff. All his cars look brand spanking new and a series 1.5 is about 15k here check the link

ALSO for all those who are interested, i will be looking to buy my car when i get back from europe, in 3 months, so lets say early august to mid september. When i come to buy i will give $100 to the person that finds me THE car. No gimics or nothing, if you find me a car, and check it out for me, and it is the ONE that i buy in the end, you will get $100 scouts honor and eaven a contract if you like. SO keep an eye out all.

PS. YEss you herd right $100 to the person whos car i end up buying when i START looking, so don't reply now as i have nothign to give or spend. WHY>????? cos i live in Tasmania and i have no access to mainland cars so i need somone to have a look for me.

ta

i would just like to know if this technique worked at all??

thanks

mate u really gotta let me know where u gettin ur mods done that cheap!! :mellow:

well a copy hybrid cooler kit cost me $400, installed myself. and a full Just Jap stainless steel exhaust cost me $850. A pod and CAI would be $200, all of which could be installed by yourself :mellow:

keep forgettin u can get cooler kits that cheap now! whats the quality like on brand name rip-off coolers? i've alwayz been a bit skeptical but i don't really have a reason 2 b i suppose..

for 15 k, you will not get a perfect sII.

My friend just paid 14 and got an immaculate r32 gtst.

If I was to buy an r33 again, i'd be looking to spend around 20k

When I buy cars, I want them to be totally and utterly perfect. Just like my current one is. I mean not a single door dent. No swirlies, not a single scrape on the front bar. nothing. Guarantee you wont' get that for 15.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
