2.5L NA, 6 cyl, 140KW, 4WD, 1390kg

That power figure would be a little optimistic considering it would be 17 years old.

Not fast, not light, not fuel efficient and expansive.

I have had mine since 1998,

coming up to 196,000km and I am very very very happy with it.

Not sure why you want this as a first car. Boot is a bit small but I guess family isn't a consideration.

Rear seat doesn't have a fold down for a surfboard.

Question is , how well maintained is the one you want and what parts will need to be replaced in the next few years. Remember its 15 years young. Fuel is not as good as a modern car , and it likes premium better,but I have switched to LPG,anyway.

I would choose a turbo if I had my choice again, but it has plenty of power to get you into trouble if you haven't had a lot of experience.

The back is a bit light so be careful of it swinging out if you are careless driving.

The 4 door is not allowed into Australia unless you have owned it overseas then requested a special dispensation to import it, unlike many of the other skyline models

Huh... That's a shame, but an Autech R33 GTR 4door is ok? :wacko:

well the one I'm looking at has 83,000 k's and was imported in 2009 , need to take a drive up the coast to have a look at it but by the looks of the photos provided it looks like it's in good shape, a few scratches but what can you do really, it's pretty much stock besides the sound system and an exhaust.

    • 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         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
