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 :D

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.

my 2cw

Nate, havent seen u in ages mate :D come on down next time and say hi if u see PIMPIN out front, if not its just my mates :D look out for a yellow 34 as well its eriktufa from these forums ;)

i have a non turbo R33 and trust me mate..

1: u will be lucky to find an R33 n/a for 11 thousand...

2. u will be lucky to find a GOOD one for that :D

3. insurance is still quite costly... (im paying up around 2000 a year for mine!! - although im going to review that and get some other quotes b4 i renew it this year)

good luck with the hunt tho mate!

k cheers man, ill let ya kno how the one on sat goes, coz im goin to look at one that was advertised for 13k i hope i can get it for 11 or maybe even 10 :D:P.....bit of wishful thinkin never hurt no one :D

2k? *** i cant afford insurance, ill just have to go without for a while :D

Mate if you buy the car - and dont insure it straight away while your driving it ...

Well then my friend you are what we refer to as a DUMBASS

If you cant afford the costs associated to the car DONT buy it.... whats the rush

hey IMACUL8, fair call, but go easy on the dude, he is young and doesnt know alot (trust me i know :D)

but yes as imacul8 was saying if u cant afford the insurance dont buy the car, im only running third party which is $600 a year should be cheaper for an n/a, but baisc im always worry about my car, so i make sure too not follow to close etc just so i dont hit anyone :D

It is possible to get a r33 skyline for that price, but like people have been saying if you want a man and turbo, it might be worth whill to save alittle bit more and get yourself a gts-t.

I know its ****ing crap, trust me i almost gave up looking for a skyline and was looking at a 180sx but then i found one for sale in my price range, and very good condtion :D; so maybe wait abit and something might come up and worth comes to worth get urself a 180sx or s13

mike

i'v got a N/A skyline an it's still a fun an grate cars to drive, there's a few times i thought shit wish i had a turbo right now (traffic light grand prix ect :P) but most of the time in day to day driving i'm not really fussed about not having a turbo, there's speed limits to follow :P (as much as they suck)

dont get my wrong, i'd love to have a turbo! but i'm in the same boat running costs an the insurance for a turbo P platter is crazy! :freak: i'll probably wait till in my 20's an insurance is a lil less an i'm earring more money be4 i get some thing with a turbo

i'll just stick a nos bottle in for now, have some fun with that :burnout:

ps. if ya think ya wont be able it keep up in a sauwa cruise coz they all have crazy bombed out turbos, don’t! coz i manage to keep up ok, i get eaten in a straight line but whoop oh, round corners an twisty road ya catch up easy... just find a good navigator! :P

gts4_fun ahaha right on bra!! :P

i manage to keep up with the turbos to an extent aswell... on straights if they gun it ure stuffed but generally people drive at a "certain" speed whether its the speed limit ... (or not)... but yeah, they dont constantly plant it and do insane speeds everywhere they go :P

its ok i got me a GTS YAY!! its a auto, and it only cost me $10500. i will have enuff for insurance, considerin i got another month and a bit till my birthday.

nah i dont think its a good idea to get a turbo for ur first car n e ways, so ima wait till im about 19 or so b4 i upgrade to a gtst :D

but yer, i got it now, so hopefully ill be cummin on a cruise in the next couple of months....yay!

look forward to cruisin with uz all....

:bananaman :bananaman :bananaman :bananaman :bananaman LOOK AT HIM DANCE :0D

ciao

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
