Not a bad start. I hope you're in one of the states that don't have any p plater restrictions otherwise you will have a tough time getting through your p plates.

WA plates - no restricitons... YET

mate nice 33 just please dont rap it around a pole or try and impress your friends on the street, they already have a bad enough rep.

also how did you find that for 5K ??? whats wrong with it?

Yeah, don't put the BOV on unless you are fitting the stock BOV back on, which you should already have.

ROFL +1

Congrats on the purchase though... looks pretty good for the price - anything wrong with it?

to answer the OP's questions of "What do ya think? Good car for an L plater", for 5 grand i wonder what's wrong with it, and no i don't think it's a good car for an L plater.

and as was said above, just leave the stock bov on there. don't rice ti up with an atmo bov. if you want to hear the stock bov more then put a higher flowing air filter on it.

your car will have stalling issues if you put a atmo bov on a stock rb25det, don't waste your money and time, just do what mad said and get a high flow panel filter & fmic and you will here the stock plumb back one, and if your after a pod aswell, it is useless unless you fully enclose it, high flow filter is enough flow for now.

Its an r33 gts-t, picked up for 5 grand cash :)

Stock as a rock, but fitting a BOV and new gasket this weekend.

Probably in the wrong forum, but couldnt find a better one

What do ya think? Good car for an L plater(;

So.. Head gasket??.... "old mate was real honest, it was perfect apart from the headgasket going, and that was only because of the plastic bag that got stuck in the radiator, and nothing else is damaged at all, he was real sad to see it go, he really wanted to fix it, because it is a cheap fix, but his wife just had 10 kids and he has to buy a people mover...."

There is no such thing as a cheap Skyline... Let's pray that with this one clearly having major issues it will not be fast enough to get wrapped around a pole...

nice buy mate, but the wheels, exhaust and wing i noticed in pics arent from factory.

i dont think ive ever seen any skyline go for $5,000, well nothing that has a motor or driveline attached.

you bought privately i assume? i'd get it taken to a mechanic asap to get everything checked out, just to be sure.

oh.. and heed the advice on these forums is my advice :)

I got my 32 for $5k

It ran, but it sure needed some TLC... still needs some now TBH.

congrats to OP on the score. Heed everyone's advice and have her checked out though. Last thing you need is a faulty bilge pump!!

Aha, had a good laugh reading through all the comments(;

The 'gasket' is referring to replacing/repairing the rocker roller cover, which is leaking a few drips of oil. Had a qualified mechanic mate come out with me to have a look at it, just using his terms.

The only other problem would be the rear suspension bushings, which id consider fairly worn. Before I get my license i'll get them replaced.

Also done 172xxxkms, hence reasoning for the price. Besides that mechanically A1 :P

Just picked up a K&N pod filter (from someone on here), which is going in tomorrow.

Theres also a large fmic (from a vl turbo kit) going on in a few weeks. Mate said it should suit fine, anyone with experience care to enlighten?

Dont worry, you wont see this wrapped around a pole on 7 News anytime soon(;

Gonna need a full hektik stereo and a much bigger wing before you can run with us real racers :P

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
