car landed and complied - $15k

3 months rego and stamp duty - approx $650

insurance - approx $1000?

major service - $1350(boostworx)

most likely need new tyres - $800

alarm system if it doesnt already have one - $300-$800

being a fresh import it'll be pretty filthy so needs a good cleanout - $100-$250 depends if you get it done by professional or need to buy stuff to clean it cut and polish etc

^^ $19850 doesn't seem like its not worth the trouble or the money. I mean importing.

Consider how much of that stuff you're going to have to pay with any car you buy tho.

You're always gonna have to pay stamp-duty, insurance, service (though perhaps not a $1350 100,00km service).

So that's what - maybe $2K you're probably gonna need to put into any car you buy on top or the purchase price (depending if you need an alarm, how much servicing it needs, what condition it's in, etc)

Have you considered a sedan Tobias? More car for less $!!!

Family friendly, and still with all the same hardware and very similar cosmetics & contours of the coupe.

I owned a 33 coupe for 8.5 years; I still didnt want to let it go the day I sold it! Bought a sedan 2 days later off another forum member, and I love it. Extremely happy with my decision!

Ive considered a xr6 and xr6t but my mrs said get the car you you want (strange thing to hear at the time). What kinda sedan you thinking ?

what an awesome chick

should buy her a skyline too for being cool

-D

LOL she cant drive manual, and she cant really drive very well for that matter...but shes a keeper.

Bus had its hazards lights on and the mrs was behind it. Indicated and over took the bus (no traffic) and the bus pulled out with the hazards still on. Mrs freaked out and parked on the side of the road and the bus drove off. Called the police they said call transport SA, but good luck getting anything out of them. Cop was correct they just cover their asses. So insurance wont cover it, so have to out our own pocket, of which cant afford.

Posting pics of mrs and me in a min.

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
