Hey guys, I'm looking at a few Skylines at the moment. Here's one I'm quite interested in.

The owner said he'd go down to $12.5k if I purchased it. I've taken it on 2 test drives, and I am quite interested in buying it. What do you guys think? Except for a Regency check, what other checks should I do?

Defect on wheels, Cops would be all over you in that car and it looks all show no go :P But if thats the sort of car you want then go right ahead. I would get the car taken to a performance shop and get them to inspect it, If they find a few things wrong then you can get a quote to fix it and take it off the price of the car :down: Its well worth paying for an hour of labour to make sure the car is all good.

That little Mirage (NO GRIP) at Mallala on sunday, his front rims were getting so hot that all the powdercoat was melting off :down:

    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
    • Do this, and we'll have a resource right here.
    • "Hybrid" is a meaningless term. I could not tell you what the vendor of that turbo means by "hybrid".
