Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

haha thanks :D

it has a few nicks and nacks here and there.. but little TLC and she'll be good :D

ps; i see your edit, Narh, SR20DET with T28BB ;D

if the motor dies, it will be my mission to make a 'Nissan's version of a hatchback skyline'

So that means RB25, and the plastic overface thing for the tail lights + type X lights + GTR bumper + grill + the list goes on..

but the SR20 is running very nice!

Hello everyone, long time lurker fairly new poster.

Just wanting some advice if possible. I am currently looking at purchasing a skyline and am wanting somthing mechanically sound. I have recently found a car and was wondeing if there is anywhere that does pre purchase inspections? I know of RAA etc, but have been told there knowledge of imports isnt great. I am a female without a huge amount of mechanical knowledge and I dont want to be taken for a ride.

Thankyou for your input in advance

you can buy my r33 gtst! 20k with almost everything you need unless you're more into cosmetics

i want a honda :D

NO! NO! NO! NO!!!!!!

Don't EVER mention that word on here again!!

F*cking bullshit place. My entire family has had dodgy dealings with that place, including me.

Don't EVER take ANY car there!! No matter how shit it is!!!!!!

2nd hand wheel bearings, snapping drive shafts, missing nuts... the list goes on.

Never again.

lol ok mate

I used them a while back for rebuilding the R31 driveshaft and some commo work nothing more , they have won many RAA awards for best shop in south.???

but your word is better then the BS awards.

happy customers or disgruntled ones speak volumes over some BS awards

My dad is a panel beater by trade for 18 years, he said it was pretty well done (he is also a gap nazi)

Yep they were fantastic until Rod retired and his Son Brenton took over. When Rod was heading it, the service was fantastic and no bullshit, either.

Once Brenton stepped in, the place has gone down-hill. My wheel bearing seized on me, so I took the car in (old car) to get it replaced. 2 weeks later, bang... wheel bearing had seized on me and my drive-shaft snapped, too. Went to Rod Prime, confronted them, and Brenton admitted they had used a 2nd hand wheel bearing from U-Pull-It yet charged me full price for a brand new one!! And they even left one of the wheel nuts off!

They also fitted the wrong water pump to the car (how they did that, I'll never know) and then told me I needed a brand new gear box, even though the gear box was fine and had been rebuilt only a few months prior.

Brenton is the rudest prick you'll ever talk to. He has 0 customer service and gives you real attitude. There's plenty of others in the same boat as I'm in, ever since Brenton took over.

Yeah, that is why I went over for the Melbourne Motor Show a couple of months back - to get my new car fix and have a gander at the R35GTR and the 370Z before they officially came out.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
