I'd think you could get a turbo one for not much more, especially if you have cash and no trade. And there is a world of difference between the two models.

Turbo would set him back at LEAST another 3-4k for a series 2 though, unless he's not fussed on what series he gets. :)

3k is not much these days though, you can earn that [gross] inside a month or two. Sh1t most credit cards have a bigger limit.

Plus in 12 months time 3-4k is nothing, BUT an NA is still an NA, for that 3k you get a hellva lot more car.

Can't agree more; I guess it depends on his age/financial status.

As everyone has mentioned, try and scrape that extra few k's together and grab a turbo mate. If you want skyline you have to do it right. :domokun:

correct me if im wrong..but my theory is that all non turbo skylinez are going to go up in value once the new turbo lawz come out in july...just the simple fact that people my age gunna want skylinez but cant drive them coz they are turbo so theres going to be a demand for more non turbos, does anyone agree?

Yes.. It's getting old now constantly seeing the responses on here with people saying how even a s2 11.5k n/a skyline is over priced..

They're most likely the ones who have a lot more resources available to them in terms of parts for cheaper prices, so they go hunting for lower priced cars and tend to save a bit by fixing them up themselves.. Not everyone is in the same boat as them and wants to either fix up a car, or go through the importing process. So 11.5k is a hell of a deal if it's in good shape. Especially if it's from a car-yard who might also be able to offer you free servicing etc for 2 years or something similar.

If you can afford a turbo, but your parents say no, get it anyway lol

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
