Ok I got a bit lost there :( ahaha .. but yeah laws in NSW say you cant have a turbo till ur fulls, wouldnt exactly want turbo anyway being the novice driver i am :P

Is it better to buy from an importer? Or from a private seller? im just going for looks at the moment, if need be I'd add a kit/rims/audio but nothing to improve speed .. & will just be used for cruising for the next 2-3yrs or until I'm on my full license neway :D

well my first skyline was an NA auto R33. it was really beautiful and dead smooth. lots of go, good show and just right for around town. full comp insurance for me was about $600 (cause remember if you can't afford the insurance, you can't afford the car). massive grin every time i drove it. drank no petrol. oh girls dug it too lol.

after a while i wanted something different and got an r32gtst, with plans to keep them both. after a couple of months i saw i was only ever driving the r32 (much more nimble) and sold the r33. had no problem finding buyers.

anyway, i sort of got bitten by the boost bug then and sold it and bought a gtr.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
