man i only paid $1100 through just cars with my non turbo on my p's

they are a great car and go just fine, you get all the looks and if you just dont do stupid things you will come out great.

No one knows what under your bonnet until you show or do some stupid so if he plays it right he will never be looked down on ever.

And no mater if its non-turbo or turbo its a skyline and we know we all love them.

Dont forget insurance, it might be worth looking at www.justcars.com.au and doing a quote.

I think you'll will find you will still be up for $2000 a year, even though its non-turbo.

PS i'm from Mt Martha, which school did/do you go to?

:P

i intend to do alot of exterior work (body kits and neons)

note: I know they are illegal but u can install a switch to turn them off, use for show-offs or cruising

If i cannot find a black skyline R33 GTS (non-turbo) i will repaint it with Jet Black, but i dont know how expensive it is to repaint etc. as i hear there can be double coat etc. for it (im new to the whole custom thing lol :P

3. What type of amp will i need for?? (4 channel 400 watt kenwood or sony)

First of all, neons r legal only if the tube is hidden so if u have ur neons turned on and the actual neon tube is visible then u will be defected for it, but if they r under ur side skirts, front bar etc its ok

Second getting a car resprayed is fairly expensive but if that dosnt bother u then sand it down urself and save some money.

thirdly, dont buy sony car amps, subs or speakers cause they r crap

hey thanks for the info on insurance :D

i have seen the adds for Just Cars so i was already going to try them out for a quote :D

do you suggest third party with fire + theft or fully comp??

i did a quote for third party and its $690

i have submited a new quote to find out the fully comp but has anyone got the price so i can compare it to the new quote? :D

i am currently going to the Peninsula School (mount eliza) righta cross from Mount Eliza Primary :( in year 12

and thats cool i work at flakey jakes in bentons square (right next to mt martha) :) i work thursday nights and saturday nights (5 - 9pm) so if ur in the area be sure to drop in hehe :)

cheers again for all the info

and i will remember not to get the sony amps, speakers etc. :)

merlin6014 1) a non-turbo will come in well under $15K, maybe under $10K? good luck selling it though - its hard enough to sell an import let alone a non-turbo one.

Exactly my words, expect to lose about 4 grand in value of your non turbo as soon as you buy it, cause when reselling, its gonna be sooo hard. I just sold my non turbo skyline and had to drop the price to sell it. I lost about 4 grand in resale. The n/a market is so very small.

Dont make the this fatal mistake.

I am 21 turning 22 in august, i have been driving since 18 which means 4 yrs+ of driving. I am given Rating 2 ( dunno why ) at $1100 from Just Cars for a R33 GTST S2. You are 18 yrs old, which means you most probably just driven for 1 yr plus?? I think you will need to pay about $2000 for the turbo car. Maybe less for non-turbo? The 3rd party insurance is pretty standard for everyone, i was qouted $680 as well for 3rd Party fire and theft. Once you start modding the car, your insurance price will raise as well.

Cheers

Hey

The final question i have about the car is just about the difference in fuel consumption between the R33 Turbo and R33 Non-Turbo

im not a car engine buff as u may have noticed :P but im just curious

How many liters per 100km is a R33 Turbo?

How many liters per 100km is a R33 Non-Turbo?

i have read many many different responses to this in the search

but if they are both running BP Ultimate Ron 98 or something similar

my real worry about the turbo is, how much more money are they to run in the long run with maintenance (talking 5 + years) and also do they drink a bit more in fuel department??

i know there are other threads about it but i just want to make 100% sure before i jump into buying either one :unsure:

thanks for all the help

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
