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 mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
