Hi everyone,

Im form Tas looking at going to Melb to buy a skyline. I have only driven an R33 once or twice so was wandering for first time should i buy a R33 GTST or go for a GTR or R34 GT-T. Also Should i go to a dealership or private

They are 3 completely different cars and only you can make up your mind which one suits you the best.

There are also plenty of quality cars in Tassie already so unless your wanting something different or cant find what your looking for (which i would find hard to believe) then why not buy locally???

Either way all the best with the purchase and welcome to SAU

I've noticed due to the smaller market down here, it's harder to find what you want and also they can be a bit more expensive..

Plenty of cars around just harder to find and you will find that money talks 99.99% of the time :P

Thanks for all your imput im heading the way of getting a R33 GTR. Im also going to go to mainland as cars in general seem cheaper. What would be the best way to go a dealer or private?

I have found an 1996 GTR V Spec in Vic for $20,990 private sale. Is that a reasonable price? Has 84,000k's. I have spoke ot his mechanic and he is going to send me the service history

Get it lol

Looks like i will be getting this one from Melbourne, hopefully this sat. I got the price down to $19,000

Received a few service invoices from mechanic, also mechanic did an inspection whihc cost the owner $60. Had a list of a few things to get fixed such as LED in spoiler, Handbrake adjustment 2 new rear tyres and rear brakes. Owner is getting those fixed

I went to Melb on sat and brought the 1996 GTR V-Spec. Im very happy with it. The only bad thing is it bottoms out at the bottom of my drive and scrapes on gutter in front of garage. I have already put a crack in front bar. Im to scared to get it back out. Need to figure out a way to cove gutter.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
