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

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • 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
