S13 is a very basic car with not much to write home about...

But that's the glory of them ..

R33 sedan would be another point of interest for you..

Uhmm

Corolla? Ke70?

I have a friend with an NA 2jz mx73 Cressida that's low and stanced on rims that he will be selling soon that will be in your budget...

2jz... Rwd... 5spd manual... Rims... Low... Cressida.

I love s13 to an extent I've been down since the first few started coming into the country in 1997/98 however I think there are more interesting and character filled cars to be had.

What about NA supra even??

Jonno, theres one here unregod...

Imo buy the youngest skyline you can as it'll generally have less problems and be trouble free fun.

i is scared of unrego

still stuck on exams :( i shall go hunting again after

i still needa register on Silvia WA

nono trust me .. you dont want a non turbo :P

its the slow

I think you should go around and test drive some cars first then make your decision :)

while the 34 looks nice - i sort of wish i got a less nice looking car with much nicer power but im attached and dont want to sell it

have a drive of any suggestions in this thread you like the sound/look of, if you cant find a manual n/a 34 to have a drive of you can come have a feel of mine someday if you like - if you wait awhile there'll be new coilovers in too thumbsup.gif

but make sure to drive a turbo! its important to know what you'd be sacrificing :P

Cheers for the help guys. Yeah i have a few mates with imports and ive driven most of their cars i think. Ive driven an 01 wrx, 32 gtst, n/a s13 and a soarer v8 so far. And what are some good sites to look for imports? Because i seem to be stuck on just gumtree, car sales, silWA and SAU.

also check out auto trader magazine, and google for importers around perth

I think autoworx, DC imports, .. theres tons really! :)

btw what did ya think of the soarer v8? I was sorta considering getting one :P

but tis auto, i like manual

Alright sweet i'll have a look around tonight through them.

Well to be honest the v8 is more of a cruiser than a true sportscar compared to the TT's, with a half decent exhaust they sound incredible though, but handling wise theyre not so good. Most of the ones that i have seen have the factory airbag suspension system so to get a good handling one you need to look for a UZZ30 model, they had normal coilovers all round. True they are all auto but one was floating around a few weeks ago for sale with a W58 supra 5 speed conversion in it for 10k i think

I like the older ones actually .. the more square ones rather than the round ones

plus my budgets like 4k max! :P

the supra converted one would be quite fun i imagine :)

btw DCimports had a wiideee range of skylines when i was there 3 years ago ... should be still the same

Ive seen quite a few people recommending him too if im not wrong

although at the time he was asking 20k for a n/a 4 door 34! I ended up getting mine for 15k imported - Carizma in melbourne had it, and I knew a mechanic in melb who was a friend of the owner .. but still go check em out :)

Yeah there are some factory manuals but only TT's, the supra converted one i mentioned was a v8. You can get a half decent soarer for 4k, but a lot of them have fairly high km's on them. Theres a nice white one on gumtree now for about 6k? i think. haha now im giving you advice on cars.

Yeah i just had a quick look at both sites and the range was pretty good and tons of info on each car. I spose what im looking for isnt the easiest thing to find, heaps of turbos but all the n/a's are auto which is teh ghey. Tiptronic kind of bridges the gap but how exactly does it work? I know it has a normal auto box with a quickshift thing on the side, but how do the steering wheel controls work? Ive never actually seen one close up

yeap n/a + manual + coupe was quite hard to find

i think all? of the 34s in auto have tiptronic but i actually have no clue, ive never driven one before, quite curious too actually, always wondered about the steering wheel controls

I know someone with one though - I can ask if u want :)

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
