Okay,

I've been looking for a few solid months and I can't find jack in NSW.

What I'm looking for:

A clean, near to stock, 4-door R34 GT-T that's P-plate friendly for the duration of my P-plate license (a year and a half).

What I can't find in this state for a reasonable price:

A clean, near to stock, 4-door R34 GT-T that's P-plate friendly for the duration of my P-plate license (a year and a half).

-

So.

My question to you Skyline fanatics is, what should I get until I can buy turbo?

Should I even do this?

Something that will hold it's value, something cheap and nasty even, fire me some suggestions!

Maybe an old pre-90's Skyline lol, what's the maintenance costs like on those bad boys?

What do you guys reckon?

Many thanks,

Ding

Im looking to sell my 34 N/A....just about to get off my P's....2 door coupe, auto, well maintained.

otherwise find a shitbox and save for a nice turbo when you get your full licence.

VS-VT commodore, cheap, you can destroy it and parts are a dime a dozen and no cop attention. Another advantage with say a VT commodore is you can have traction control, ABS and airbags some things that the R31's just dont have and they will also look after you better in a crash.

Maybe better of with something like this if you want a bigger car for the moment.

1998 vt Berlina on GAS, Less kms then most Cressida's, around 10 years newer, Alot safer e.g. Air Bag( don't wanna sound like a parent lol), cheap to run, easy parts cause they are everywhere. Just any idea tahts all..

      Engine Issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.

      Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that).

      Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point

      Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
