Hey fellas,

I was wondering if $5,000 would buy a R32 - my youngest brother loves Skylines; we have 2 already at home and he wants to be the proud owner of a third... he's only just turned 18 and got his P's a couple of weeks ago, he wants a N/A Automatic R32 more so just for crusing purposes... I'm having a bit of trouble finding an old but fairly working R32 for him... anyone know of or has any R32 Skylines that would like to suggest.

We're from Melbourne and the buy would probably take place in a couple of weeks.

Cheers,

hmmm 5k for an r32.. might be a battle if your after one in good condition. i know auto n/a ones are cheap but maybe save a couple more grand.

May i ask y he wants an auto... manual is much more fun lol

Thanks fellas.... honestly, thank you all...

TM_R33: mate, he's got an automatic license. Yeah, he's only got $5K on the dot and doesn't make much as he works only twice a week at Red Rooster and they pay like $7 an hour or something... poor guy can't wait any longer... I know R32's are worth around $8K, so damn... hope someone can help him...

hmm being an apprentice i earn not alot either. i just owe the bank 15k for an r33 lol.

spose your brother cant consider a loan if he doesnt earn enough to pay it back tho :)

he will also need money for insurance and rego and maintainance too remember

hey man, really depends if your in the right place in the right time, picked mine up for $5000 exactly, its an na manual with bodykit, 18's and a great condition interior. the paint was on its way out but the car is straight as. engine and gearbox in perfect order.

So yer man there out there you just have to be lucky enough. chasing an auto would make life a little easier i would imagen. hit up the importers.

if you no your stuff you might find getting a shell cheap (again friend just picked 1 up for $3000 wit wheels kit gtr bonnent awesome paint interior) and getting a cheap na motor(ive got 1 4 sale) gearbox god no's there out there.

good luck any way mate.

Thanks mate.... appreciate your advice... yeah, unfortunately... I don't know of many places... accept carsales.com.au and SAU...

Oh well, just gotta hope something comes along soon.

$5k should get him a nice 89 heap but then add rego, insurance, servicing, petrol... Unfortunately your brother may have to face the reality that he cant have a skyline at this stage of his life or he could buy one and it will be off the road soon and he wont be able to afford to fix it.

no idea which thread,but i seen on here an awesome blue auto r32gts fresh paint,everything looked the goods

for like $5500-$6500 not sure which price,but was one of them.

Just stay on the hunt dude,youll for sure find 1 on here,maybe even a cefiro.

should be able to pick up a CA18DE auto silvia for that in pretty good condition.

I'd expect panels to fall off an R32 at that price... or be incomplete, crash damaged, dredged from the bottom of a lake, etc.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
