Hi Guys!

Ok i've finally saved up enough $$$ to buy a car......with only one car in mind....a r33 skyline. I've had a look at one and i thought i'd run it past you guys first just to make sure its a good deal because i dont know much about skylines.

Here are the specs:

1993 R33 4 door

Gun Metal Grey

Non turbo

T bar Auto

160,000 kms

Air conditioner doesnt blow cold air...i've been told a $40 regass will fix this?

16 inch nissan rims ( 1 back tyre needs replacing.....weird i would of thought both back tyres would be bald at the same time?!?)

upgraded twin muffler exhaust

The interior is pretty good apart from a ciggie burns on the drivers seat

The body work is in good condition apart from a small dent on the passenger door

The price i have been quoted is $21,999. To afford this I will have to get together a few extra grand, what do you guys think so far?

let me know

Lamba

Non turbo 4 door auto?

i wouldnt pay 12k for that

Those things are lemons of the skyline world in terms of resale potential/demand

the car specs u listed and the price the guy is asking is way overpriced...

You could pick a 93 non turbo auto 4 door up for 12k to 15k depending on mods

however the one u listed is AUTO and NON TURBO FOUR DOOR...

Heres a general price guide obvously depending on condition and mods etc etc:

1993 - 1995 series 1 4 door non turbo auto = 11k to 14k max

1993 - 1995 series 1 4 door turbo auto = 12k to 16k max

1993 - 1995 series 1 4 door turbo manual = 14k to 18k

1993 to 1995 series 1 2 door turbo manual = 14k to 20k+ (mods)

Mate u are getting ripped hard!!!! I got my skyline for 24 and it was wored and only done about 3000km from engine rebuild (not fake km either) i suggest u have a look at this forum and have a read of it got some really good advise on buying a skyline... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=35129

keep looking around man till you find something a bit cheaper or with a bit of good work done on it and in a good clean condition...

i got my car for $14000 n/a manual 2 door.

so as everyone else has said, dont buy!

and check the link that the good man meggala has posted, think about it, $15000 on the car, and $5000 for everything else (mods, insurence etc)

SRV is a god!!! :P

ok that aside, that is the biggest rip ever. Is this a private sale, import yard?? If this is a business asking that much, if they are dodgy enough to put that price on, i don't know if you could trust anything else they have.

please stay away from the car unless he wants to chop $10K off the price :D

cheers

    • Give it 40psi and send it to the moon
    • I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.
    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
