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.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
