Welcome to the forums. It's always great to have new members. Good luck in your hunt for a skyline. Take your time, and make sure that you are going to be happy with it. The only sound advice I can pass on is get a really decent alarm system fitted. Unfortunately it is getting to the stage where you need it as a much as you need 4 wheels on the car. Viper do a good alarm. Have a look on ebay for them cos you can generally pick them up a lot cheaper than what you would pay for the same thing here. This is mainly cos the distributor doesn't get any decent rebate on them from Viper. Still, never-the-less they are a great Alarm system. Look forward to seeing you on one of the cruises when you get your new set of wheels :cheers:

raa are crap .

my 2 cents

they dont know nething bout performance cars, i got them to come out one time to check my r34 when i was having trouble with it and the guy couldnt even tell me what was wrong with her.

honestly take it too a place that deals with performance cars day in and day out so you know that they know what they are doing and talking about.

raa = waste of monies

p.s get an alarm asap though (like everyone else has said)

14-15 sounds about right, pending what's on the car and the condition. I paid $15k for my 33GTSt earlier this year. do you have a link to an add for the car, or list some more details?

good idea about scrapping it and starting again

can always sell the old one for cheap too

AH Robski is a member here will be a well looked after ride

honestly i wouldn't bother with RAA now we know who owned it ring up Shaun from boostworx and ask him about the car 'ROBSKI' you may think its funny buy Shaun has a meticulous memory he will know if its good or bad

Hey, welcome to the forums. Alot of RAA mechanics dont really no a great deal about turbo performance vehicles "in my experiences anyway". Your best bet is to go to a performance workshop for a once over.

They don't know a lot about anything.

I bought a 3yr old VS 5ltr 5speed some years ago; had it RAA inspected only to discover within a week of owning the car it had loose engine mounts, water running down the side of the block due to a leaky inlet manifold, minor chassis rail damage of which wasn't mentioned on the report and an incorrectly installed tail shaft centre bearing which caused vibrations and thumping on acceleration.

well what i would advise is to get the vin/ engine number and all that! you should check to see if the numbers the person has given you are the actual numbers on the car! and then call up or go onto ezyreg and check! it'll tell you if the car is defected, stolen or finace owing on it etc etc! and then a raa check would be nice!

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
