Hey guys, been looking at your forum for about a month and i gota say big thumbs up :D learned so much stuff i didnt know.

Anyways im only 18 but looking for a R32 GTS non turbo. Is it possible to get one for around the 10k mark or should i save more? I've checked out the Prestige website and they seem to have some great cars, has any one bought anything from them? Good / Bad experiences?

Hope to speak to everyone on the forum soon :headspin:

Chris

PS.

My brothers also looking for a 300zx 93ish model, non turbo, manual, around 13k mark if anyone knows anyone selling in victoria?

Hey Chris welcome to the forum! Check out the R33 GTS25 for sale for $11000 on this site - it's a bargain!located in Melbourne as well. see http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=30053 for details.

shop around and you might find a R32 for $10000 but remember to allow for the other costs such as stamp duty, insurance, registration etc.

cheers

Chris - 10k is enough.

My car(when purchased)- 92mdl, GTS25, Stock appart form 17" rims, Immaculate interior and exterior, 69800kms, 12mths redgo(sticker wasnt even on the car when i purchased) - $9400, only downside is it was auto, but the 2.5ltr in the r32 more than makes up for this........

Only advice - look around everywhere, i hit the tradingpost webby every thursday morning, and eventually i found this car. I was originally in the hunt for a early model silvia k's or 180sx but this car caught my eye, and there just seems to be more stigma in owning a line ;).....good luck on your search.

As for insurance im on a monthly payment scheme, comprehensive is going to knock your back pocket severely so i didnt go for it. But i got a pretty decent deal

*3rd party property +

*10k fire and theft

Works to be about a $45 monthly payment, no biggie. So if you thinnk you have the control to not drive like a nut, then this policy is ok. Downside is, if you get hit by someone who isnt 3rd party property insured....bad luck, hit a kangaroo..bad luck...get hit by a drunk driver, insured or not, their company will avoid them like the plague.....bad luck again........but its a risk i take, i got some small damage on my car from a car park, but to get it repaired even if i was comprehensivly insured would be cheaper outa my own pocket, because the excess on making a claim would be greater than the repair bill.......

P.S - Welcome to the forums :D

      @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.

      @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
