Hey KLowN,

welcome to sau

11,000 is pushing it to get a turbo r33 skyline, the lowest i have seen one sell for was BAMBAM skyline which went for 13,000 but most are around 18,000+ mark. You might want to look at importing a r33, it might work out cheaper than buying localy but then again it might not with all the new import laws etc (for importing website check out www.j-spec.com/list and http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au )

Im 17 and own a r33 gtst and let me tell you, its hard a times, something brakes or you want to do some work on the car and ur bank balance soon becomes zero Insurance will be the biggest killer, i was quote $4100 for my skyline from just-cars and they were the only ones which would do it the rest of the companys said no imports or no drivers under 21 3rd party its half ok if you drive, normal $600.

At the moment i would say if the r33 isnt in your price range and if your not a big fan of importing a car, then go for something like a s13 or 180sx yes i know its not a skyline but it still an awsome car, i would say go buy a r32 if u cant afford a r33 but in perth 32 most of the time sell for the same price as 33 as there arnt may around. But if you were to import im sure u could find a nice turbo 32 (89 model thou) for around 10/11k landed

have alook here for some info

if there is anything else u need help with just ask, i will be more than willing to help, as i have ask a few question in my days (im sure the rest of the members, r sick of me ) and i know how hard it can be when 1st looking for a car

ohh yeah, if u want to take a ride in a r33 skyline, i will be more than willing to take u on a sauwa cruise, or just a ride somewhere

p.s nothing like getting pick up from school in a r33 with the bov going crazy

[G0DF4Th3R]

hahah our Mikey is all grown up now

best post from him yet

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Klown, I'm afraid Mikey is right, owning a Skyline is very expensive, and isn't something you should really consider till you have a steady income. That doesn't mean that your not welcome to come on our cruises, I'm sure many people will offer you a lift.

[KLowN]

hehe ok, thanx heaps for the advice guys, thanx to u mikey too

yer mayb i will get u to pik me up from skool one day dat would b ***in sic :0P

im goin to look at an r33 this w/e that was advertised for $12000 so with a bit of luck, i hope i can get it aye.

as for the cruise, let me kno wen the next ones r, coz i got exams n shit in a month, but id love to come ey.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Cruises are up in the Events section. When you on your P's you can come along and drive, until then just ask for a lift, cause noramally there not too hard to get:D

[Kaido_RR]

Hey npz dude my number is 0422 789 830, i see when i get early finish one day (as im in yr12 ) and i might be able to keep u up from school depends where u at. Remember when looking at the skyline this weekend, dont go crazy style cuz ur looking at a skyline, try and look at every little thing, general stuff like rush etc, also try and get the owner to have a compression test done on the car to see if its running fine.

But goodluck hay, 12k its a pretty good price (must be an auto ), i was luck enough to get a skyline with full kit, exhuast, bov, system, 17inch rims; for a very good price and it was it top shape

I just give you an idea of running cost

Fuel (depending of how u drive, if ur always boost or not ) but i get general about 400km to a tank doing all my running around to school and back home. So it cost me about $50 a week for fuel at current fuel prices. Remember with a skyline It is very import to use BP 98 octanc fuel, becuase the car where made to run on 100 octanc fuel which they have in jap. I found that running normal fuel would result in the car pinging at higher boost (around 0.7bar)

Pinging means that ur piston are getting damage basicly which isnt good

Im getting a major services done (which should be done at 100,000km) and its going to cost me $1000 and that is from a good place (hyperdrive).

Ohh yeah general things like changing my springs cost me around $50

New clutch cost me $800 install - the clutch was a 5 punk button clutch

Ebc (eletrico boost controller) (so i can change my boost lvl when im driving) cost me 2nd hand $300; i install it myself so that was ok took about 1/2hr

Just change my tyres and was lucky only cost me $680 for 17inch 235, that inc fitting balancing etc

basicly once u get the car, u will most likly not want to keep it stock, u want to change this and that even if its just putting a bodykit or adding a boost gauge. So sometimes ur money goes fast

One tip: DONT RUN HIGH BOOST LVL, i say stay around the stock area 0.5bar/0.6bar i have been running that constantly (and now days im running 0.4bar stock lvl) and you find that you wont have any problems with destoring your piston or your engine

thanx for the advice man, i go to corpus christi btw, im in yr 12 too.

[G0DF4Th3R]

hmm but it says in ure profile that u already own a '95 GTR

lol btw is Corpus Christi in Murdoch area? we go there a lot in the evenings for coffee

[KLowN]

u do? where u at? y do u go for coffee? yer its in murdoch

nah i only got that info there, so id fit in, coz evry1 here has a fully sic car, cept me

Scuba Steve :run:

[tigeryas]

murdoch? damn thats far (for a northie like me anyway)

thanks mikey, i'm sitting here reading this stuff as well hehe

but yeah my two cents Steve, cars are quite expensive lards to maintain, fuel is a b!tch these days and i just got my brakes done yesterday (also at hyperdrive) and that took a good couple of hundred (thats on the cheap side)... for students, keeping cars's a tough life. Ohh the price we pay... T_T

R33s and R32s are tough to find for 11k aint it? Haha, try and find mine. Period.

And all that means fark all - cause if you read his posts he doent want a turbo (read first post) and in his other thread i think he mentioned getting a gts (non turbo)....

so Klown if ive got it right - your getting a gts non turbo - then you can run it on normal unleaded and dont waste your time and money on performance mods - cause its still gona be a slug.

At the end of the day a non turbo skyline is crap - your better off getting a r32 for that money cause you will be able to get a turbo model (gtst) - otherwise buy a V8 commy cause a non turbo skyline will be a waste of time.

PS - i went to Corpus Christi to, except I was cool.

u do? where u at? y do u go for coffee? yer its in murdoch

its at this place on Sommervile Dr called Sommerville Cafe, dont know if you've heard it.. look for the big group of Imports outside

[PACEY]

All those saying owning a line is expensive, i hear ya!!! Ow look i got paid. Spend,spend, spend, ow look ive got sweet FA again!

[bless_you]

hey bam,

i know the place... i see you guys there alot.

next time i drive by i should drop in and say hi instead of just driving by and making a noise

anyway... sorry to hijack... but i woulld say to hold on until you are finished.

there is no point in getting a gst auto and then spending ALOT of money to get a conversion... that is if you are after performance i may add though.
