welcome aboard mate.

yeah, Skylines are unique, very stylish and is well regarded as one of the best sports cars out there.

you'e made the right decision mate.

With around $13-$15k, I think you can either get a R32 GTS or a R33 GTS-T ... that's about it... I personally suggest you should go for a R33, there's a few good ones out there on the market but make sure you look around and get a good one.

Good luck mate,

No worries mate... we're all here to help others as this is the main reason this forum was set up in the first place.

But yeah, as most forumers will tell you, before you post another topic, do a quick search first as it limits repeats of the same topic over and over again.

But yeah, if your money, I'm sure you can pick up a fairly descent R33 GST-T. If you look hard enough, you might even find a good one with some goodies (mods) already in there for you. Just gotta be patient and look around mate.

Drop me a PM if you want with some links / pics etc of the cars you're looking at and I can certainly give you some pin-points if you want bro.

Good luck with it.

hey mate and welcome to SAU..

if u have 13G's to spend i would say try and find a good r32 Gts-t. i piked mine up for 11 with a few mods and am very happy with it. make sure u find out insurance cost before u jump into the skyline sence.

when looking for a good skyline, things u need to at are.. of course the engine and Km's it has travelled.. ask if the has receipts for any of the mods or if they have the import papers. Also loook at the wear on the stearing wheel, hand brake and gear shift knob as this can give u a good indication of how used the car is. if the have replaced all these with aftermarket parts then there could be something up.

any ways back to the 13G's. u can defiantly find a good r32 for that much and u wil have some money left over.

good luck

mate, look around you can even get a very decent series 2 r33 gtst for 13Gs these days. and don't listen to people telling you "nah no way you cant get a good r33 for that much it'll probably be a bomb" believe me don't listen to that. just gotta look around and be patient.

forget about R32 mate seriously why the f**k would you spend 13Gs on such an old car when you can get a R33 - newer, lesser Ks, better engine etc for the same price!!

your money though get what you like best i guess,

good luck :(

Nicely put mate. Yeah, R32's are ok, but they're too old now and they look like a box on for wheels - but then again, look carefully because with R33's - you got two variances. 1) nice looking beast, 2) a fat whale. so yeah, look carefully.

Regards,

from the sounds of things id say your still on your p's, in which case buying an r33 would be a stupid thing to do if you live in victoria

search for laws regarding p plate restrictions

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
