^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!

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

hmm thinking of it, a r33 sounds alright.

@dorigecko= yea it was kind of a birthday/christmas present. have u ever heard of the rule like parents always buy ur first car? lol

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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      R34 Plug Identification

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
