Hey guys,

I am a newb to the skyline seen and just been doing a bit of research. Just got a question to ask, sorry if it seems stupid or if the answer is really obvious.

Just wondering I have a budget of $25k to play with, is a R33 GTR V-spec gettable? There are 2-4cars on carsales at this price but was wondering would these things be money pits? Should I not even consider a 33 v-spec with a budget of $25k?

Thanks fellas

Edit- should also specify that I understand the gtr aint a cheap car to run, its just I want to know if I can get a decent condition one for 25

I would be looking at $20-$22000 mark, you can buy them at that price and in good condition. Or even look at a R32 GTR with mods there is certainly good buying out there. :(

Whats ur location, i have been looking at one on carsales at Albany Creek in Brisbane. Its in excellent condition for $23000. I would buy it today, but renovations on the house come first at the moment.

Hiya,

First of all, welcome to SAU Forums!

Sorry for the vague response, but it may be possible to get a good R33GT-R V-Spec for $25K = "it depends"

For instance, it may not be a really low Km vehicle for that price - and yet, you may still pick out a good one.

One has to wonder why the seller is selling.

Are you or your mechanic friend (assuming you have one) familiar with GT-Rs when you inspect them?

Do you have a reasonable income to maintain the vehicle?

Do you want to modify the vehicle?

Are you wanting to buy one as stock or modified?

You haven't asked yet, what to look for when you're picking out one, but I assume you'll do a 'Search' eh?

If I were in your shoes, yes, I'd keep my eyes peeled for a decent R33 GT-R V-Spec with that budget.

And when you find one, a good one, it'll be better than 'oh what a feeling'!!

Tez

a few points to think of before you buy a skyline, in reference to upkeep and future spending:

1: you WILL modify it... heaps...

2: you WILL modify it... heaps...

3: you WILL modify it... heaps...

4: you WILL modify it... heaps...

5: you WILL modify it... heaps...

6: you WILL modify it... heaps...

7: you WILL modify it... heaps...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
