Hey, Just wondering if anyone would be able to help me find a non-turbo r32 or know anywhere i could go to try find one. I have searched every where and asked every one but haven't had much luck. I have recently found one on J-Spec Imports but it is not what i am looking for. Thanks, Cx0x0x0

Why have you attached a picture of an R34?? I fail to see the connection..... :pirate:

What state are you in? On all of carsales there are 3 r32's that are non-turbo.

One in VIC (GTS25), 2 in QLD ....

The non-turbo's are much less popular, particularly in the r32. Why don't you want a turbo?

Well I would just get sum sh*t box for now and save while im on p's. Then by the time you are 21 you can get a nice GTR like you planned. Getting a non-turbo 32 i think you will regret. The rb25de engined r32 would be a little better, but yeah I would just wait till I could get a turbo and save in the meantime.

Then again, I have owned an r32 gts-t while on P's and it was my first car... so saying to buy a sh*t box to roll around in for 3 years is very easy to say, and much harder to do.

Lol, i no i should probably get a shitter and save my money, but thats the whole reason i would like a (non-turbo) skyline or something like a supra or most silvia's that you no its got no performance and goes like it aswell but it will atleast look like it does. most 'other cars' and 'shittas' are exactly that. I have major plans for this car and i really would like a car with atleast the tiniest bit of style. I know what im going to do when i finnish year 12, when im 18 and i might only earn up to 65k a year at the most icon9.gif but by the time i am 21 and off my p's like you said i will have saved a bit of money since i was 18 that will get me the perfect gtr.. Hopefully, if i dont blow all the money as soon as i get it. I love these cars and i no how expensive they can be but in the end isn't it worth it?? Your all lucky to have had one or have one currently but surely before you did have it you had major plans for what you were going to do with it and how excited you were to get one and how much you wanted it. I dont no thats just how i feel everything about them is classy and looks good, front and back. How many other cars can you say have that kinda style.not many. im still going to get one but just need to find the right one for me. and i cant seem to find one yet but hopefully some one will be able to help me.

^^ Fair enough, best of luck finding a suitable car.

And yes, they are the type of car you can make plans for and spend a lot on. Since buying mine I have done full stereo, put on brand new full exhaust, completely resprayed the car, 18" wheels and im in the process of getting coilovers for it... not to mention countless other things like gauges etc, its hard to not spend money on :rofl: but thats all part of the fun

why? For the heartache, stress and $$$ by a shitter. Sure you wont look cool in a KB laser but when you get a gtr it will be worth it. Modding a GTS/4 can be fun but not worth the money. Save cash, invest it in a high interest bank account. When the time is right it will be way worth the wait.

non-turbo r32s are a waste of time.

find one with an RB25, or are they not exempt from p-plate laws?

when done right, an NA can be quite fun...

my car certainly isnt the fastest in a straight line - but i've found that it teaches you to be a better driver.

People don't realise how much it costs to run a skyline/180/200sx compared to a normal car eg: 1.8 straight 4..

God I love my rolla..

A 100k service let alone is like $800+

Skylines are only made for one thing... The track..

I have never met an 18yo that earns 65k a year unless its there daddy's money..

Well you dont always get daddys money and you dont need it when your starting out as a coppa. You get a starting wage of 55k for the first year doing traffic controll and then 65k from the second year on, from what i have heard. Besides you dont always get the choice of having daddys money unless you wipe their arse for them. no offence. Believe me i no how expensive these cars can be my friend blew an 11.2 second GTR engine and spent an all up 10k on buying a new one and fixing what else was broken, its not his fault though, its just now he has learnt not to let any one drive it. Any way to those people that think it wouldnt be worth it and would be a "waste of time" nothing you love is a waste of time and to people that think so just have 'other' expectations.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
