This is like the 3rd thread this kid has posted which happens to be basically the same questions we have all answered before..

yer LOL soz mate im just heaps like exited bout getting my first car...yer a non turbo it be for my p'z tho, and sorry to annoy u diff

Buy it you have a stable source of income.

Obviously a non-turbo skyline will be cheap.. So it shouldnt cost you much at all.

Damn straight it was worth buying a skyline!!! Been nearly 3 years now and never looked back!!

Insurance - Well since its non - turbo it should be a lot cheaper!! We can not answe this question for you as there are many factors involved. Best to ring insurance company and get a quote..

Enjoy

Sorry hijaked this topic should i start a new one?

Dont buy it, If your on your p's buy a shitbox.

Save for a GTR and piss off the other kids when you buy a r34 first day your full licence.

Non turbo wont be as fun as a turbo or gtr.

I Rekon it wud be mad having a GTR, even tho rollling up on my first day of year 12 in An R32 Would be just as good to see the other kids looking at me continuesly LOL tht wud be Good

Your first mistake is a R32... Unless its off someone whos spent alot of time on it then id go a r33 or r34 not much between them.

R32's often have problems and the worst thing for a p plated is problems.

haha ask anyone with a "loved" r32 .. Your going to need more money than the cost of the car, btw they are going up in price as you cant import all of them any more.

Buy a r34 auto non turbo 4 door .. $10,000 thats 3g more than a turbo r32.. enjoy the worry free drive and dont crash (which you will prob do, touch wood but id say youd have a knock or two)

a non turbo r32 and r33 are in the shitbox range. you can pick one up for around $5,000 and for what they are they do get around better than a corolla, integra etc.

the real problem is when you actually consider turbo'ing your n/a skyline after you get off your p's.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
