Guys, thank you so much for helping me with this dilenma..i personally feel that even though the S15 might be a newer model (2001-2002) the R33 S2 (1996-1998)..but am i right to say that Skylines are actually the "flagship" sports car for nissan??

I am well aware that S15 gear boxes have a few issues, some of my friends with the S15s says they would change the S15 gear box to a 5 speed gear box from either an S14 or the R33 gearbox. May i ask if there are any potential problems with an R33 S2 GTST?

I totally agree that if i splash out close to $30K on the S15, i will not have any money left for mods. So which means if i pay close to $19k for my skyline, i will still at least have $8k to mod it, will the $8k of mods be enough to achieve very high power?? Please advise, thanks guys.

The GT-R is Nissan's flagship sports car, which is not the car you're getting. While they share the same base, there's a fair amount of difference in them. Greatness by association only works if you're a poseur.

Technically the Evolutions share the same base as every other Lancer, but I wouldn't go and buy a VR-X expecting it to hang on to the back of Porsche 911 up a twisty country road.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
