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

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

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
