The majority of N/As that I've seen have been autos. In fact I can't even remember having seen one that wasn't (not that I'm saying there aren't any out there).

I know it's not what you want to do, but I think you'd be better waiting and you'll probably end up with a better car in the long run when you're ready and able to drive the turbo.

If I found a nice 33 for the right price then i'd get it no hesitation....my kinda goal is to get something fun now - to last me a year or so, so I can save up & buy something way better part way through next year.

Take advice from somone who wated there money on a NA DONT do it.. TRUST me you'll regret it so much later that extra money you spent on a NA skyline that barely moved could have gone towards more mods on your new r33 ... Just take my advice trust me your going to hate yourself later :)

Yeah - Don't start me on the MR2. Toyota has admitted to importing a X19, stripping it and basing the original MR2 on it!! Kinda wanting to not have a two seater, as i'm usually designated driver! I raced against one at Wakefield Jan this year, though it was turbo. Didn't seem to bad - that being said, he had more spins then I did...

The MR2s are little less forgiving on the limit, a lot better after 92 but the brakes arent great in stock trim.

Shame about the 2 seats though.

You might have rego dramas w/o engineers report onthe 32 though.

328i? 2j Supra N/A? Maybe too $$

Not sure what year it was - def one of the older ones though. Yeah I know that it may have dramas with rego without a engineers report - but it has rego till jan 2012, by then i'll have my blacks and hopefully the turbo motor back in & engineered for that (if it even needs it?)

As for a 328i - i've looked at BMW's and Alfa's - Eurpoean. I've learnt my lesson with European cars & Parts. Costs a sh1tload. Even at mates rates! Never really liked the look of Supras, but would be open.

I guess that doesn't leave you too many options, RWD N/A 4 seats, japanese and fun to drive......just about explored all options here and since we are on a Skyline forum, then it could be an RB25 powered 32 since its potentially the best "bang for your buck" car in N/A for your circumstances.(only if you can beat the price down a fair bit, a non-engineered conversion is not worth that kind of money IMO)

Hell I just sold a R34 GT-T auto sedan for $8500 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/352396-r34-gt-t-auto-sedan-in-canberra-8500/page__st__20__p__5664504__fromsearch__1#entry5664504 thats only $1600 more than the car you are looking at, and while I understand that it would not have suited your needs, just comparing value for money makes the 32 look more like $3500 than $6900

I am all out of suggestions.

Good Luck, Tony

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
