You can get newer 96/97 Series 2 Skylines for under $20k. Like this one is a auto but its in NSW: Skyline 96 Auto

or this one is a manual in bris: Bris Skyline

I didn't realise some 96/97 S2 Skylines are so cheap if you have a look at www.carsales.com.au they are really cheap. Like $18k for a 96 Auto Turbo. Bargain.

Yeah i jus still don't get the 'sidewall' thing....?

Thanks also for the thoughts on what i should get. I will prob take a family friend round wit me who is a good mechanic, to help out.

Next question: what's the difference between an 'SR' and 'RB' engine? And all of those numbers on the end, or which come with it?

Like i said at the start, i'm kinda new to all this so....

SR is a 4cyl from silvia and in a few others too, RB engines are in skylines, vl turbo common hore, cefiro etc... the numbers refer to the capacity... then the letters after that mean stuff too :D

so SR20DET = 4cyl, 2.0l, D= dual overhead cams, E = fuel injected (i think) and T = turbo..

so RB25DE = 6 cyl 2.5l non turbo DOHC

Well done skyline fan for your frank admission. I know jack about cars to i guess but am always willing to learn...I would be keen to hear how you go about getting your car and may pick your brain later as to your strategies and suggestions. Could prove to be a good learning curve mate.

Chaos...all I can say is "what the..." for your saying of the week

go to www.supercars.net for wallpapers. they've got heaps of cars there, plus skylines.

engine code for GTR is rb26dett, which stands for Race Bred 2.6 litres Double overhead camshafts, Electronic fuel injection Twin Turbo.

not sure what SR stands for, but the ending bit's the same. cept it's not twin turbo.

um okay....i'm kinda followin most of this......thanks to everyone who has put stuff in so far btw.

Readin' some of the posts this mornin' on this thread and some of the 'jargon' (i'd guess u'd call it) is still kinda confusin me......like camshafts and 'dissy' (????). I guess i can't get u guys to explain 'everything' unless i ask for a specific term.

Thanks to 'speed freak' as well for his comments. Like i said, I'm new to this forum thing, but i'm not gonna come on here and try and kid myself, let alone everyone else, that i'm some 'car guru' or somethin, when i'm definately anything but. I'll definately keep youse updated on how the car hunt is goin, and collect thoughts and stuff along the way

You'll prob see me on here frequently neway, askin about one car part or another so......

Btw, is it so bad to have an auto?

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
