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?

    • Lol yeah I ordered the clips mentioned and as far as the amayama diagrams go i think thats all I'll need. Fogured id ask, sometimes people's first hand experience doesnt always match up to diagrams haha, i guess I'll wing it and worse comes to worse I'll just deal with it as I go
    • Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol
    • I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.  
    • hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00
    • I don't know the answer to this, but did you have a look at the parts diagrams on amayama.com and see what they list around it for your car? As an example this should be it on my car. That's how I would check for required clips and things like that. But, I take no responsibility for you ending up with a box full of random OEM hoses, washers and clips after going down that path a few times. This definitely has never happened to me
