hey guys and girls.....

yeh sorry for the no show.... its been quite a hektic weekend looking at cars...lol..

Is regards to what i want, well im looking at the R32 - love the shape and style..... but i test drove a 33 and love the extra power it has.....quite noticable.... and fun.... so i could buy one of those.... so atm i will get whatever comes along thats a good deal and clean.....thats what im finding hard at the moment - finding a nice, clean skyline...most of em havnt been cared for.... one a got inspected needed 5k spent on it and that didnt even include a decent engine check as i told them to stop.....

seems like a friendly crew down here.......keen to come out on a cruise and meet and greet.

I did a drift day out at sutton a couple of weeks ago in an XR6 (hired) which handled like shit but gave me a jolt and now i want a skyline.......lol....go figure....

My advice is dont settle for a Skyline that has not been cared for, there are always reluctant sales popping up and I have seen some really good examples for sale for the right price recently.

If you want the better looks and chassis of the R32 but the power of the R33 there is a simple solution... Buy a cheap R32 GTST and an R33 GTST front cut(Just Jap in Sydney have these) and swap the engines.

Its not as hard as you might think... (if you know what youre doing :P) - I've done it and I would definiately recommend it!

Anywho... You should come out on Friday night and meet us :)

I did a drift day out at sutton a couple of weeks ago in an XR6 (hired) which handled like shit but gave me a jolt and now i want a skyline.......lol....go figure....

I remember you, i'm the guy in the silver R32 that was there on that day, skylines will soon take over the public drift courses! haha

Yeh i wont settle for something that hasnt been looked after, i found an R32 that had been very much looked after and was it fairly good condition bosy wise and very good mechanically. He wanted 12.5k and wouldnt budge but he's going to sydney for 2 weeks and didnt seem that keen on selling it before he went. I'd prefer not to wait 2 weeks but im not going to jump and buy something that isnt decent.

there arnt many skylines in canberra for sale that have been looked after i might add......hard to find....

yeh i remember you zane...... it definitely was a skyline dominated track day.....lol...

What would a decent R32 be worth - lets say fairly stock maybe apart from boost controller, intercooler, exhaust and pod......as a basic starting point.

same with the 33.

a rough price range would be good to know....... ive looked at red book but i know first hand that, that guide is a fairly rough one at that.....

have a look at the for sale section on here. i know there is a couple of guys on here selling their 'lines locally, should be worth a look. after all the looking i did, i realised that it would've been so much easier to have looked at these forums and bought one from an enthusiast who appreciates it and looks after it. as thats why were all here on these forums.....

as for which one to buy, you need to drive both and pick the one which you find most comfortable to drive. you'll fall in love with it after you buy it regardless of which model it is....

    • On 12th June, the mechanic could not figure out what the issue was, but the car seems to be flooding with fuel. He was suspecting the tune, thus referred me to a tuner. Although the tuner is not familiar with Nistune, last Monday (30th June), he came over to try and re-map it. Despite the tuner trying to completely stop fuel, it kept sounding like it was pushing fuel. Tuner ended up suspecting either the ECU or Injectors. I do not believe the ECU or Nistune is the issue, as the Nistune software reads and communicates properly. Today, I removed the (new) injectors to see if they are clogged or leaking. Surprisingly enough, after those 3 days of driving, injectors 2 and 3 look very blocked. You can see the difference in the picture. I blew a bit on 3, that is why it doesn't look as clogged as 2. I am still unsure if this is what is causing the no start issue, but I am now feeling that I may have bought the injectors and Nistune without the need to do so, as the problem seems to be coming from somewhere else.  
    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality".
