congrats mate :)

good idea to buy them stock, you know it hasn't been molested by someone. Also gives you a better chance of getting a good life out of the engine rather than buying something pre-flogged. That's why I went for a standard car this time around - and RB25s have plenty of go even when stock :)

Yea its a five speed manual, the photo makes it look green hey but its actually a midnight bluey colour, but the color didnt really have anything to do with the sale hey, its gonna go in for a full respray within the next couple of weeks....Im gonna get it painted in the nissan 350zs daytona blue,

yea i definatly wasnt gonna buy somone elses thrashed project haha ..... yea they are full of grunt in stock form hey :) im gonna try n keep this thing mint though i dnt wanna thrash it hey haha

I don't know if really standard, tidy cars will become more popular as they get older but having a car that drives as Nissan intended really makes me appreciate how nice a balance they've gone for. Why you would want to put a loud exhaust on it, lowered on rock-hard coilovers, body kit, dicky stereo with bright flashing lights etc... is beyond me. They're a beautiful drive to begin with!

When I get the money to put a stereo in mine I want it to look like an OEM head unit.

heh funny thing is you buy a skyline with the intention of looking after and it treating it well. That all went out the window when i realized it was so easy to throw sideways stock then spending the money on the engine to make it go harder,

You dont buy a skyline to drive it around like granny you drive it like you stole it >_<. Im lucky to be in a place whre there are two skylines and i am unbeatin in this town with a mildy stock R33 gtst .

Sick.. You’ll fit in here just fine bro.

Haha... yas took me the wrong way..... i got a list of mods on plan for this car a mile long... and i intend to have fun with this car but i also wanna treat it with a bit more respect than i have my previous cars,

im completely determined to buy a 2835 pro and up the internals, then run nos and see what time i can run with this car....while at the same time i wanna keep it as an everyday driver...nice interior and all that

but yea im extremly interested in seeing what i can do with this particular turbo.....nothin to big just nice n comfertable :no:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • 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?
