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.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
