Hey mate. Nice looking R32. Looks nice and clean.

With the exhaust valve, what are you talking about exactly? Where is it situated? If its the vacuum valve like the stock exhaust, then its just a valve that opens the exhuast based on air flow, or revs or something. Can't remember.

apex'i exhaust valve controller = flap in exhaust which can be adjusted, controlling volume and flow etc.

if you don't mind, how much did you pay?

thanx

Bought it for 12g

Nothing at the moment, coz im happy with it, plenty of power for me as i used to drive a fwd celica haha.

But plans r in the near future, Bosch fuel pump, a boost controller, rb25 turbo and ecu. Not sure on wat boost controller and ecu to get. Powerfc's arent available anymore, is that correct? Is there something round the $1000 mark. I might just get a safc coz im only chasing 200kw

if you can afford to spend $12,000 on a car, you should find a way to spend money on insurance as well.

i was aware of the costs of insurance, and decided fire and theft insurance is wat i would get.

How do you like the exhaust mate? Is it very loud?

its not too loud, but not quiet either. Id say its just right, same for the ride height. Any lower and it would scrape, but the way it is now i have no problems getting around so far

Just wanted to ask about the low fuel warning light. How much fuel is roughly in there when the lights turns on? Mine turns on when arrow is on the lowest line, is that when it has to switch on?

Thanks

Thats good then, as long as your happy with it!

Boost controller, for like 16psi and under you can use a bleed valve called a TURBOTECH boost controller. There about $35 from EBAY, and have been proven by a lot of members on the forums to be a very good upgrade.

I have one, and will be using it sometime soon.

PFC I would also like to get, but is pretty much not an option. I saw one on the forums recently advertised for $1,900! I'd pay $1,200 but not $1,900 lol

REMAP is a good option, or if you don't want to go to hard out an SAFCII or Greddy E-MANAGE is also good, that will get you to 200rwkw.

Anyways, good luck with it all. Keep us posted :wave:

I just can't believe that you can say that in todays state of affairs.

click search and type in STOLEN.

have a look at the dates the hundreds of threads that come up have on them.

you paid $12K for the skyline.

"WHEN" someone steals it from you, you will get back $2500 "AFTER" you have paid your exess of what? $1K for a 21 year old?

seriously mate.

It's a nice looking car.

alarm etc will do f*k all when some c**t with a bat taps on your window.

    • 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?
