my honest advice?

buy a NORMAL NON TURBO AUTO bucket of bozz first car

drive it till the doors fall off and you get off your p's

then you can drive, are allowed to drive normal cars and a bit smarter with looking after cars (i didnt look after my first car)

then you could probably go staright to a GTR 33 by that time and youll have a real car first off

imho dont bother with a nice turbo or engine swapping etc - takes time, $$$ and effort etc

doesnt have to be a bucket of bozz

but forget about all this engine swaps etc

my first car was an auto vl n/a bozz

it was in ok condition ,everything worked, and it drove fine

i never looked after it, never serviced, never did anything

very reliable otherwise, it had more oil in the engine bay when i sold it, then it did in the engine

then i sold it for 2k and got my r33 gtst

kids these days want the best, latest, fastest, bestest car EVER on their P's

and it has to turbocharged, it has to be blah blah

just buy a normal car

you dont have to keep up with the other knobs "cos they do"

Do what I did, drive a N/A 33 manual coupe for 3 years, get off Ps sell it and buy a GTR (couldn't get a 34GTR though still 40-50k for the base ones -_-) so got the next best thing a 98 33 R!

I was also SO close to buying a Evo 7, man I love those things but I wanted to own a turbo skyline before I got over them.

But CA's aren't the world's most reliable engine. N/A SR20 is a much better choice.

wut? SR20 engines come with factory busted lifters. CA's are bulletproof in the hands of a tool, esp with no forced induction.

Do it, CA18DE then weight loss the crap out of the car and give it good suspension. Look into changing the cams out of a CA20, $20 mod, makes it rev better. It'll be a great car to learn in.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
