^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.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
