hey troy why don't you come have a chat with me i live in rocko and own the autech drivin around

hey Daniel,

u remember me from clubmotavate? i was in ur dads ute at motivation this year :(

i want a cruiser, auto is fine with me, but as i found with the 32, the older it gets the more stuff i hav to buy and replace that doesnt effect performance or looks (bushes, relays etc etc)

and i thought the s2 is newer, tiptronic, neo engine, bit nicer interior, would love to get one with a sunroof, good ac.

yea iv seen that replica autech one, think i might take a trip down to hav a look, is a bit of a bargin...but then im hesitant of getting a car thats been converted cos my 32 had a turbo conversion and it was just never right ya no.

cheers guys :)

you could almost try to import 1 they are cheaper now because it only 5% Import duty and it used to be 10% There is some savings to be had getting one from japan..You could have a look in oz too

nice cars go better than i thought

i have series 2 with dayz body kit lots of extras would not worry about leather that stuff gets hot in summer sun roof?if you want it

If I were buying one today would prefer S2 just because the ecu is able to take Nistune chip. However with a manual it doesn't really matter If I were in Aus I would have a look at MS180's Autech - its every bit the same as factory - started off with a C34 shell and put all the Autech bits from a genuine Autech.

hey guys,

yea i dont want leather interior, too much to take care of and yea would get welllll hot in summer lol

heres a link to one in SA id like

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...1&silo=1011

i think ill hold off from buying one till the rite one comes up. i dont wana rush it lol

importing would b cool butttt it takes months :S

like i said before im not too fussed about getting an auto, one of the resons i sold my 32 was cos i hav a bit of a drive to work and i cant b bothered worrying about clutching all morning lol

i will go look at that replica i think :)

yea iv seen that replica autech one, think i might take a trip down to hav a look, is a bit of a bargin...but then im hesitant of getting a car thats been converted cos my 32 had a turbo conversion and it was just never right ya no.

If done correctly, there should be no issues at all with a good conversion: mine has been converted for around 4.5 years now, and I have not had a single problem arise that could be attributed to the fact that the car was converted. There have been a few confusing parts issues, because I wasn't sure what I needed: original or rb26/R32/R33GTR-related, but it has never been anything to lose sleep over. For the money, I wouldn't even think twice: bargain!!

Plus, once you've tried a manual '26, you'll be converted yourself (pun intended): you wouldn't think of going auto '25 if they both demanded the same coin...

Just my 2 cents (another intended pun!)...

I would have a look at MS180's Autech - its every bit the same as factory - started off with a C34 shell and put all the Autech bits from a genuine Autech.

+1

From what I've read, the Autech shell had rust the car couldn't be complied so he switched everything to a local shell.

If your shopping for a C34 and not far, check this car out first.

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
