Bike riders budget more than that.....for a push bike...with all the modes

Get a loan from your mother,brother,sister,aunt...whoever.....

Lift it to 13+K and then you can get what your looking for....and it won't be out of the bargain basement bin...or look like it.

bikes are out of teh question.

and NO i'm not saying r32's are overpriced just because they're too expensive for me.

like i said i've seen and know of decent examples of r32s and r33s that have gone for that much.

thanks mate will ring up about this rs.

i've owned turbo 4's and have an idea of what kind of petrol turbo 6's drink. nowhere near as bad as rotors....

Strongly disagree. I don't think there's a decent well sorted R33 out there for $12k. If you do believe that, then good luck with any of the cars you buy :laugh:

Get a bike man... that ticks all your boxes

Its fast, cheap, $20 petrol a week (if that), running costs are a fraction of a car and you can park the damn thing anywhere. Not to mention a lot of chicks get a tiny little wet when they hear the word 'motorbike'. Your need for a $8000 weapon of a ride problems are solved

yeah why is that....couple of chics i was talking to, they asked me what do i drive - so i said skyline, their faces didnt change, and then i added "and i ride a motorbike to work" and their eyes just lit up....i dont understand it lol....

so this is why the skyline was sold...... :laugh:

chicks like to ride things...

Save your self some more money and buy a decent R32/R33.

I bought mine for $13k and it had its fair share of problems in the first couple of months. I'd hate to see what an $8k r32 problems are...

Every R32/R33/import car needs some work done on it, so unless you have any emergency money ontop of the $8k you might end up in trouble.

Pulsar SSS with a GTI-R conversion? :)

guys, i think i might have found something. although its damaged but end product should/would be sweet as. we'll see how it goes...

s13 either the 1.8 or 2.0 turbos will be around 8k right?

yeah i've looked at some 180sx's but i dunno i don't think they're worth spending any money on at all :happy:

lololol i just sold my auto r33 gts4 hence the shit budget :)

yeh i got a bit of cash saved so ill be using that to upgrade when i sell mine good luck with the searching mate

thanks dude. yeah thats the thing i sold my gts with the intentions of buying a series2 gtst, but yeah didn't work out as i planned :D

only thing its missing is gtir drivetrain :/

am i asking for too much here? i mean all i want is a yellow topless ferrari 355 for 8grand.... :sleep:

Like everyone else has stated, you will be pretty hard pressed trying to find a good Jap turbo car for 8k, particularly ones that are 1989 or newer. The only thing that will probably come close is a CA18DET Silvia, or a f**ked 180sx, but they will need a bucketload of work. Same with the R32.

You best stretch your budget a little. When I bought my 180sx, I was originally looking at spending around $16-17k, but all the 180's I looked at needed a slight amount of work, whereas the one I bought, was for $19.5k, and haven't had ANY major troubles yet, and it's still going strong.

Good luck with whatever you buy though :)

Here you go...what a beast for $8k...

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=155069

just ignore the 170,000kms, and the overall condition of the car itself and its a bargain.....thats what all R33's should sell for...

What a pig! Actually could probably be cleaned up and be pretty good...

What's the deal with this... -Wheels & Tyres: 19" mag wheels on frount, 16"mags on rear, do have both sets if required

No thanks, I like the look of 19's and 16s together... haha!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
