You'd take a fair guess the rail would be stuffed - if so, forget it.

It'll cost more than the purchase price.

I thought you would have learnt after you were scammed 2 months ago. STOP looking for the "cheap deal".

Spend 8-10k, buy a proper car from someone you can see, and one that hasn't been destroyed.

No job + Skyline = bad idea.

$5k Skyline = another $5k to fix what's already broken and will break in future.

Buying damaged Skyline + fixing it = you'd better off buying one in OK condition for 2-3k more.

My advice, get a job first.

If you've only got 5k it would be cheaper to look at 180's,silvia's etc..

but no job no car dude... seriously.. a tank of petrol is about ~$75-80 for 300-400 kms on most skylines, as im guessing your first car will be your daily, depending on how much you use it, could be 1-2 tanks a week...

thought about public transport?

17+turbo+skyline+no job??? sounds like my tax money is going well at centrelink, sounds like bankstown here in syd ;)

but my advice, buy a normal car stock standard, not even a skyline, just some small car, cause i can bet that by the age of 20, any of your cars will have been involved in quite a few accidents.

if that money could buy experience in life, it would be a greater benefit

i use 2 have a skyline R33 but sold it because it was auto lol so now want R33 manual turbo and i only go out with the skyline friday to sunday so weekend use only lol

Last time I checked, Police Officers doesn't have weekends off.

Rule 1) Don't buy other people's problems

Rule 2) Don't buy a car you can't insure

Rule 3) Don't buy a car that you can't on-sell straight away

Rule 4) Accept the advice of those who've learnt from experience

Rule 5) Buy a car you'd be proud to show your new G/F's mother

Rule 5 - My Fiancee's mother has always called my car the "man bag" - because it goes quick, looks nice, but I have no boot and I never have more items in the car other then a laptop or uni bag.... :mellow:

Again.. Stop being a dumb arse.. if you didnt go looking to buy that too cheap nigerian R33 you wouldnt have been scammed of your first $4k.. do yourself a favour..

I'm starting to think you're a troll

Well off you go then - @ $4,000 for that car - it's a bargain.

It's $1,000 under your budget!

Your right, so lets budget this for the young fella

50$

stamp duty, but make sure you fill the transfer formout to say you only paid 800$ for the car

50$

for a slide hammer a rubber mallet and some sandpaper

100$

bog, you will need quite alot

20$

some white spray paint, 3 or 4 cans should do a proper good job

40$

for a good set of beer goggles so you think you panel beating effort was adequate.

10$

for some new windscreen wiper blades very important.

50$

for a really dodgey roadwaorthy, you may have to share some of your beer with him aswell, and dont be surprised should he ask for sexual favours, just oblige

Thats 320 big ones which leaves you 680 buckeroos, just enough to pay the 12 months rego and get stoned..

Dont worry about insurance thats only for people who crash their cars.

Tooo easy :thumbsup:

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
