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 thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
