my boss owns one and has had soooo many electrical problems with it over the years. i guess the more automated gadgets on board, the more things to go wrong

Yeah I have seen some problems with the electrics, and the gearbox in them fails sometimes.

I was considering purchasing my uncle's one when he put it up for sale, lucky I didn't because 2 months after the sale gearbox went pop 12k repair bill. OUCH!

Thanks for all your opinions guys.. really appreciate it. But don't really want to go too Grandpa-spec with the bmw/mercedes sedans or even EVO's or STI's as im after a sports coupe.

Well at this stage i'm still unsure of what to get but i may have to test drive a r34 gtr as 90% of people i know are telling me to get one. But too me its still a another skyline.

But right now i'd have to say its either between the NSX or the 350z..maybe M3 e36 but still unsure.

What are your opinions on the NSX as i've yet to drive one, and how would you compare them to say the BMW M3 or R34 gtr.

Thanks guys

EVO? 930 Turbo porsche?

Hey Musty! yeah the EVO is a 4 door..and don't really want another 4wd turbo.. as you may already know

930 Porsche on the other hand, looks abit old. Although wouldnt mind that Ferrari you have.. :banana:

Tai cant believe ur considering of selling ur r33, u just finished it! Outter ur list i would go for any of the first 3.

Yeah Ferah sought of getting over the good old skyline. But im unsure of which one to sell, but most likely its the R32 GTR.

Want something with abit more respect and not so common.

get yourself a BF typhoon. bout 40-50k.

or vy-vz senator in black.

but if u want to stick to a jap car id go the 350Z with mods :P

Not a big fan of Aussie muscle cars, although they do look quite mean. I'm soughta after a smaller, lower 2 door car..if you know wat i mean.

Thanks anyway.

the ferraris mine all mine :D

what about an s2000? not a turbo but sooo much potential

Booked for a test drive in a silver R34 GTR from Gran Turismo (GTA) in city this weekend. Want to see what all the fuss is about, but still curious to see or drive a NSX.. anybody been in one??

As for S2000 a tad small i reckon there almost MX5 like.

I know this is a Skyline forum.. and this may seem like a silly question. But whats better a 95 NSX or a 98 R34 GTR? opinions please.

thanks

Just purely from an eye catching viewpoint, the NSX will grab a lot more attention than 99% of Skylines. Unless you do a GTR up to the same standard as your candy 33.

They look awesome, especially with a nice kit (veilside looks mean). And from what I understand they go pretty damn hard too.

The NSX is a great car. I've driven an early model 3litre manual and they handle well, good torque, nicely balanced and nimble car to drive with a few suspension tweaks. They are very small and low, inside there's not much room at all, but all the controls are within reach. They definitely get the looks.

Snowman owned an auto NSX-T (targa roof) so he may offer an opinion.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
