Hi guys n gals,

http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/...&used_rec=1

That is the car im currently taken a look at and contacting the owner as well as NRMA inscpetion to organise a looky smile.gif i think the car looks preety clean. Now there are some mods on there that might heable to be defected ie the intercooler.. at the front. also Some person thinks the treds are to wide for it.... they are wide but skylines are cars that are mad on wide treds.... anyways im just pointing out some things and asking your Opinions i offered him 10,300 in the message i sent off to him

Cheers Tom

lol

dont be stingy - 11k is what itd be worth :spank:

and yeah, a lot of things on the car 'could' be defectable...... being pulled over and checked is a risk you take by simply owning a skyline, whether stock or modified.

i think he accidentally p...p....p...ppppurrr??? ...... ... . . .. .. .

. . .. p..p.p...painted his interior trim red by mistake, v...v.vvv....very much.

...ge.... .w.w..w...what a terriffic audience!

have u seen the car in person yet?

dont get too excited till you do.

sometimes you expect it to be great from the pics, but then you turn up, and pffffft, no good.

everyone's been through it, like myself, probably too many times.

will do :D im thinking about this car or maybee just buying a stock r32 with basic body kit etc and bov froma car dealership at least with them they usualy arent stingy and weird... and they have warranties

Don't trust (most) dealers from a bar of soap. They are stingy (it's their job) and they are weird (have to be to do their job well). Of course, massive generalisation :) but plenty of truth there.

A stock R32 will be far easier in the headaches department. There are too many reversible things that need to be done to keep the roadworthy authorities away when going for rego or pulled over for a 'random breath test'.

A quik question about the 2.5 skyline 33s are they generally good cars and how many ks do you get froma tank on a preety much stock turbo 33? as compared toa r32 2.0 turbz???? is there much difference? im thinking of buying a 33 they look sexy as well there abit wide but i cant hold it back! (my feelings tongue.gif)

Cheeers bruz Tom tongue.gif

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
