thanks

Kris

Kris. I was in a similiar position (but im heading over to the dark side... more on that later) but shop around and hassle as many people as you can. Ask as many questions as you like and drive as many cars as you can. Most of the places i went to, were very funny about insurance and wouldnt even let me look at the car, without looking over my shoulder constantly. Getting a test drive also proved difficult (at some of the dodgier places)

Remember you get what you pay for. I looked at some for around 16K and they were in really awful condition.

Places i found that had good cars were Autoworx, C Red and Extreme Machines. There are other places that sell good cars, however if i was buying a skyline (and i almost put a deposit down on one) i would visit these guys again...

Various people told me negatives and positives about all three, however i only found them to be more than helpful. They also had the more expensive cars i came across BUT they were in far better condition.

Cheers

Like i said, i looked around for a line and came across a couple i really like.... Glad i didnt buy one. I love them, but they are so impractical for me. Looked around for a Chaser too, but i want a newish car!

The thing that changed my mind was a ride in a good mates club spec 4!!!! u may know the car....... The other one i went in (similiar) was almost as quick.

So yeh in the market for a rex (has to be silver) and im in no hurry, because i soon as i get it, everything has to go in (new box, turbo, ecu etc.........) When the right car comes along (and i know the one i want!) i'll jump right in.

You had a skyline didnt you. How do you find they compare (i've driven both and i like em both)

wtf are you buyin a rex for then? the space in the back of a skyline coupe is about 2 times better than a wrx coupe!

lol @ new box. at least you're realistic about something.

I've driven modded versions of both and i really like them.

The back seats are easier in a rex than a skyline, with the extra two doors etc. I've sat in them and the rexes definitely have a bit more room. Havent seen the boot for a skyline, so i dont know how big it is etc.

Unfortunately both are getting pretty common, so it has to be different.

Although $$, a better box has to come straight away.... You have to be realistic!!

Hey kym,

The km's seem a little low for a 1993 i mean 54,000 seems a little dodgy, i still will check this car out

thanks

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
