Bucket boy theres a 98 r33 na just been posted on drift sales, silver, coupe 7.5k

Link, Miguelone?

I saw this one on car sales, incorrectly described as a Skyline GT. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1998/SSE-AD-2424953/ Much better price and even open to reasonable offers.

Also I should have mentioned I'm taking a loan out to get a car, but I should be able to pay it off in a year or two. *puts on flame retardant suit*

If you're taking out a loan you'd really be better off not doing so, saving 2-3k and buying a Nice tidy A32 Maxima or something, it's just as quick(or not :P) as an NA Skyline except it's comfier, cops don't even look at you and for an uninspiring FF sedan it actually handles pretty decently in the bends.

as much as it might be gratifying to buy the car now. you end up paying, say over the course of 1 year, 10 - 12% more on the car than if you had paid cash instead.

And seeing that you're on your P's, a car that you most probably won't keep for long. So. It'd make a lot more sense financially to just save up the money, while turbos depreciate further. And keep your 31 living for just that little bit longer.

so just to be different.

I like the idea of the load for a cheap car when your young.

your not paying a huge amount of interest so that not the biggest issue.

plus assuming you pay on time or sooner, then you are building up a very nice credit rating early on and will save that money plus more when you buy a house later.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
