That's actually not bad for a 2+2 S30... although that's probably the money shot. Wonder what it looks like from the back. S30 fastback FTW. I'd take one of those over a GTR anyday.

Tim, the OP's got $20K to burn, so you're pretty much guaranteed he's gonna end up with a 20 year old car that came in under the 15 year rule that was once owned by a 17 year old.

How much $ would you spend for a good r32?

personally, a nice mint condition 92-94 R32 GTR (preferably a V Spec or V Spec II.... stay clear of N1's) freshly imported under SEVS and budget about 23k for the car only (not including rego, insurance etc). Being a SEVS import you'll have the ease of mind that it's been freshly complied and inspected and have the option of getting up to 3 years warranty on it (using a 3rd party, at extra cost).

yeah your easily looking at >20k absolute minimum for a decent one landed in aus, then you got every other expense on top

id import one as clean stock ones are becoming a rarity to find locally in aus

Someone from uni bought a cheap 300zx for $3.5k, had electrical wiring issue, was fixed & it ran fine after that.

& no engine out was required, everything else out instead...

No engine out? = Engine out!

it's in a permanent state of engine out lol.

nissan should supply 300zx's from factory with the engine out to save people the time fucking around taking it out on delivery to change the oil filter.

the alternative to engine out is to strip the car to a bare shell leaving only the engine in. it sounds like this guy took that option without realising it was the worst of the 2 options, as you are often then still required to remove the engine a few times to take out multiple components in the process

Buy this Zed instead!

:thumbsup:

I use to own that zed when it was stock as a rock. I sold it on ebay 7 or so years ago and shiped it to Europe. The only reason i sold it was to buy an r32. that was a silly move. It didnt take long for me to get bored of the r32 and sell it to buy a 240z. Now i have the best of both worlds. A 240z with an rb20det

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
