in answer to previous query.. This russian site (!) but seems to be fairly accurate..

R33 GTS:

Price when new: 2,413,000yen = ~$28726AUD with the current aussie exchange rate

R33 GTS-T type-M :

Price when new: 2,898,000 = ~ $34,500

R33 GTR (non v-spec):

Price when new: 4,545,000 yen = ~$54,100

Guess the range is similar between a base level commondoor, GTS-T comes in at around V8 base commondoor level and GTR = about entry level Statesman here i guess.

hmmm..interesting.. looking at the trading post here.. basically NO turbo S13 under $10k. Not even any CA18DET's. They're all n/a and what hothead p-plater wants an n/a??

Methinks its time gordo got rid of the baggage that is the skyline aand went into the importing business!!

kinda funny.. not that you really need a stack of moderators though unless there are a heap of posts though. Wasn't Squizz moving, or had moved down to Brisbane or something ?? That was the last i saw of him.  

Bit pointless to have mods that never come on, but i'm sure that will be sorted out eventually.

I actually had some fun with him last night in the wet...err that didn't come out right lol. My 32 and his cefiro i am speaking of. :D

Coming tonight? Um fill me in.... i am not on here all that often these days. Is there a meet?

If so, i don't think i'll be going anywhere....never do on Thursdays cuz of work the following day. Only go cruising on Friday and Sat. And plus, i live near ippy so it's a bit further away from roma street etc.

The one that says "Thursday night meet 26/02/04" :D yeah, its down yatala.. although that isn't too far actually. I been out to ipswitch area a few times, only takes 30mins.

Everythign seems a lot closer here i guess to me, getting around melb was a bitch at anytime.

.. its generally as most people have the night free, whereas friday and saturday nights they generally have other plans and the streets are too busy.

Its never really too late anyhow. Last one I was at home by 12am.

but thats cool

I think they have to have 2 to 3 independent sightings for them to investigate the car though. It was the case like that in VIC. But there they were too busy targetting imports and sending them to the EPA, rather than worrying about the old cars.

To be honest I don't see too many up here that meet that criteria, but there are a few rough ones around.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
