^Thats cause you drive a taxi! Don't listen to him!

Welcome to the forums though! By any chance are you a dwarf? Cause thats an awesome name lol.

A Prelude is an awesome present for a first car, mine was a pinky 1988 audi 80 :P. I'm sure you'll find tonnes of information regarding your future skyline! Hope to see you on some future cruises!

It will be an N/A taxi. N/A's have big following around here. :P

My daddy didn't buy it for me, however.

N/A R34 = win. for 10k though, maybe around the time you're looking to buy. they're still fairly new for an import.

first car is cool - if it's first car material. such as yours. not if it's a crazy thing. and rule? more like an investment.

either way, be careful whatever car you decide. very sensible choosing non-turbo though. good sensible.

R32 or R33 GTS Sedan is the go i reckon. can always turbo it later. and RB20DET conversion for 32 is cheap as chips really, if you wanted to head down that route.

Hehehe, who wants sensible Jason? I did my L's in a twin turbo Soarer, part of them in a Magna, then i got my P's, continued driving the magna when my dad was out of country, then i bought an Ma61 Supra, fun little thing, with a bit of poke, was able to lose my license in it, sold that, now i drive a Toyota Aristo, for those of you that dont know wat that is, its a 2jz na/gte or 1uz(4wd) powered 4-door Supra(essentially). I also drive a jza70 with close to 300rwhp, as i said man, who wants sensible??!!

So Paul, your car never gets driven then???

I'm doubting you can get a 34 for 10k, even a NA one lol

33's are great, 32's are great. Theyre all great :P

But 34 has traction control and ive heard a lot of people complain about driving their 33's in the wet.

Maybe you should stick to the prelude for a bit til you get all of the crazy P plate desires out of your system.

Not to be a downer, but dont forget insurance can cost a tonne, esp the younger you are.

But good luck with the hunt, theyre great cars :( Drive a few first and dont buy the first one you see :O

yeah go a NA 33. or a rb25de powered 32. wouldn't bother with a rb20de 32 though, unless you can find one dirt cheap. they are a little bit under powered for the size of the car they are in.

that's only because nissan didn't put wipers on the side mirrors, LOL

but in all seriousness, if you are scared of driving a skyline in the wet you need to grow a brain. you know that pedal on the right? well if you don't push it to the floor everytime you take off in the wet you won't be swinging off the wheel trying keep it off the gutters. and have a look at the inside edge of the tyres. just because there is plenty of tread on the outside doesn't mean there will be on the inside, and that's the bit that is contacting the road the most.

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.

      That would be a rarity. You can emulate the function of the stalk just by bridging the appropriate pins in the connector. If you can make it function correctly by doing so, then the wiring etc is OK and it is the stalk.

      I've had these LEDs and a LED EP34 flasher relay in the car since 2020. No fuses were popped either. I'll multimeter and clean off the tarnish tomorrow. From how the lights were acting after I diddle the stick make me lean towards a stalk problem.

      Are you sure you can use LEDs in the indicator lamps? On a car that old? It doesn't work on many old cars because the indicator relay can't cope with the wrong impedance out at the lamp positions and the LEDs will happily light up even with minimal current flowing through the indicator relay. And when I say "indicator relay" I mean the flasher, not a relay relay. Beyond that, I would say that you have caused yourself a wiring fault and that you would be well advised to work through the wiring diagram and the actual loom with a multimeter.
