16-18k if in good nic

True, I saw some for around 16 that look fine in pics but upon inspection were in really bad condition. buy one under 16k and most probably it will be not very good to put it kindly. Or simply put a pos.

you should be able to get Good S2 stock standard (exhaust/POD) for about 16,500 - 18K the latter with really good wheels and FMIC.etc.. The problem is lot of people have them for sale but can not sell them (No demand) so even if it's listed for 18K if your a serious buyer should be able to get it down!!!!..

as for K's well...All Japs are like that..so just check for condition of the car and get good checkup done by Jap Performance workshop (not by VicRoads/RACQ).

then you should be ok, also do a 100,000K service regardless of the K's if the current owner dont have receipts for it.

i got mine for 16,500 mint example but it was for sale at 18500.....you should track carsales/carpoint for some time and spot the owners getting desperate as time goes by and bounce...worth or not market is determine by demand

:sorcerer:

well, demand can be because of various reasons....i personally think there are too many of them around also the whole hoon image...but don't want to go their...

which state are you in....depending on that every state sub forum will have tread/s about workshops and most workshops do inspections for a fee (compression, leak down test, general under body corrosion , accident damage, cooling system and so on) also check for it to see if the car has clear title (no loan or finance owing) can also do VIN check....their is tread for that in this forum too... ;)

My advice go for a mint S2 r33 GTST (the newer the better) 40th anniversary model is the most sort after R33 S2 - pre loved one already in the country and trust me you will be very happy.

Good luck

totally agree with whats already been said, I got my 96 S2 R33 with AVS wheels and a couple of other little things, low k's and immac condition, for 16, they were asking 18. Have a good look and you can find some good value cars....just check out the previous owner and how they cared for the car aswell...

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
