i was look'n through cars guide and others on the net and came across a fair few n/a r32,r33s for as low as 8grand.lots of them say very good cond and low ks.so would there be anything wrong with these or is it about the right price?

at the moment i've got an n13 pulsar and just purchased a cannon for it.i'm only gunna do the cannon cos it's a waste do'n other mods 2 it cos i will hopefully b get'n a 32 or 33 n/a.

will the cannon give an ok sound on the stock exhaust of my n13 cos thats all i am look'n for sound.

what engine is in ur n13?

u can buy a turbo upgrade motor, as one of my friends thought about this, getting a u12 or u13 engine, and whacking it in, about 1800 for engine, ecu turbo, everything minus the intercooler. If its a sr20 powered n13, do some mods to it, and being a lighter car should whip those n/a's a good view of ur ass ...

my n13 only has the small 1.6 so i'm not sure about mod'n it to much cos all the money that would be put into it i could use get'n something bigger like an r32,33 maybe.

But the cannon i got put on it sounds pretty sweet cos it sounds like i had a cat back exh done.

well get the engine swap done, 2 litre turbo, zoom zoom, oh hang on thats mazda hehehe.

depends on the condition of the car tho, and all that stuff, a skyline may just be the next stepping stone. Any reason your looking around at a n/a line ?

yep the r32 and 33 prices seem to be coming down . so many probably thousands been imported . i figure supply is getting greater than demand . also some have been here a while and have had the bejesus flogged out of them by now ( nanas dont buy em ) .

your too right mate. Definatley a buyers market out there. Alot of people buy the NA 'lines and then move on to bigger and better things. But you would be hard pressed to find a NA skyline that hasnt been flogged BUT thats not to say that there is anything wrong with them. Damn RB's are nearly bulletproof.

Not all the 32's and 33's in this price range are bad. I bought this cheapo skyline at the start of the year and it has been pretty well problem free (touch wood), other than a flat battery when it was delivered and the A/F Ratio being a bit out of wack (fixed with a quick tune up). With prices so low how can you afford NOT to buy yourself a skyline?!?!?! Good luck to you whichever path you choose.

Cheers all

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
