You've pretty much answered your own question. It sounds like you've had a look around and seen what they are going for. Depending on km's and condition, $8k sounds about right.

There's lots of threads about buying a non turbo skyline. There's some good points for and against. I'd have a read.

Good luck with your purchase! :ermm:

this is also a huge factor; gotta work in whether you can afford to keep comprehensively insuring it. amazing the amount of people on here who post about cars being stolen with no insurance.

More years ago than I care to remember insurance in my N/A R33 used to be a total killer! I swear by the time I sold it I could have paid for the car over again with what I'd paid in insurance. I never needed it but am glad I had it and the car was so totally worth it. It's where my whole Skyline obsession began :D

I do imagine since that time insurance hasn't gotten any kinder to the youngens!

Isnt justcar offering something like 400PA for third party fire and theft for p platers, stupid not to take up that offer, but comprehensive is over 1500 for sure, not to bad if paid monthly, but like Kat said, ur easily paying off another car just on full insurance.

Back in 2001/2002 when I had my N/A auto R33 (I can't believe I'm openly admitting to owning that :( ) I paid $2800 a year with Just cars! Didn't do myself any favours that it was my first car and I'd never had insurance before though.

Geez expensive for a N/A, Currently paying 2800 with just car for a R34 GT T and i thought that was pricey. Shannon wont touch me one because first turbo car and 2 no driveway to park in only in the street. which annoyed me because cats scratch my car on the top :'(

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.

      Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.

      It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless

      Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
