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

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
