As it say want one of these 10k MAX preferably under and in MUST BE IN NSW with NSW RWC at least, preferably with redgo

Would like 180sx, same deal 10k max prefferably under. I want either of these two vehicles, not picky what ever comes up first. Silvia K would also be considered.

I don't get it ... you want a NA, but a Silvia K would be considered???

Also I think you should reconsider your options with that budget.

If you manage to find a NA R33 for under $10K it will be an absolute POS. Even then you may not have much luck...

A NA 180Sx will be even harder, as these were built from 1996 on and had better interior and round tail lights etc...

Heres a link to a R33 under 10k - http://carpoint.ninemsn.com.au/marketplace...o=1&chkRows=500

I got nothing against turbos i just know that a turbo skyline under 10k.......i would be dreaming..as for a POS under 10k...the link to that one says other wise i think it looks like quite a nice car. I am looking at a r32 tommorrow that fits my order perfectly.....will let you know how i go on that one. Reason for the criteria is basicly i have had alot of problems finding the car i want the most, a 180sx, so i opening up my options as i am partial to the looks of the skyline . So my budget is 10k and i stress the NSW part because i have come across many probs in my painful search for a Nissan import......which basicly is the basis of what i am looking for...some thing that is a nissan and looks sweet. With that said i dont want a N/A silvia. Will add another to the list.....a N/A 300zx. And yeah i have seen them close to my budget for that price aswell......but wrong state...that hopefully clears things up.

Ahhh that car is $9,990 PLUS compliance costs, which for R33's at present is not cheap at all! So there you have it!

Anyway, that place is very close to me, and I have personally seen many of his cars at the panel beater prior to being ready for sale. Yep, they all look good in the yard, but you have no idea of how they once were. This unfortunately is the case with many of the cheap imports on the market...

my 2c:

180's look sh1t compared to skylines and silvia's look even worse so you should narrow it down to a 'line...hehe

i actually looked at that skyline you linked to above about 2-3 months ago when i was looking for my car but the salesman was a d1ck and basically i didn't want a bar of him or his cars. It was about 14k by the time rego and compliance was added on.

i ended up with an r32gtst for 11k after extensive looking. it has genuine 95,000k's and engine+trans in good nick. interior is also v.good. The reason it was cheap was it has no spoiler, side skirts, stereo, and was key'd (about 30cm long) on drivers side.

Basically my point is that with the really bad used car market a car in mehanically good condition is available but you have to take your time and don't go for a 4cyl...

Have you considered a soarer? can get ok cond one for 12k thesedays...

Not complied! isnt it illegal to advertise a non complied vehicle........oh well, like i said i have found a nice sounding r32 gts and i am looking at it tonight. Soarers arent bad but i real keen on nissans, dont know why but they are just great cars. Will get back to on how i go with this line.

awesome man :D if you ever take it to the drags be sure to post up times because it would be interesting to see the difference between the r32 with its lighter weight compared to the r33 with the same engine.

I expect to see you posting in the NA forums now :)

cheers mate enjoy your car

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
