I have a feeling the neo engines are better then the old non neo ones ie from a r32, 33 cos well my car has 206 kilowatts stock (flywheel) and about 330 nm, and a stock r33 has 178 or so series 2 (series 1 had less) and 280 or so nm of torque. So what are you smoking?

for insurance it really depends, i heard someone insure their s15 at under $1000 per year

hey dude, still selling ur car? seriously i dunno why but u seem like a car enthusiast yet u say ur car is collecting garage dust? how could that be???

still selling, but looks like it will go VERY soon.

it's my weekend car, but me & my gf plan to buy a house in near future, both of us are now working part time during weekend

i try to drive it as much as i can, but only able to add 3000km to the clock from feb till now ;)

not worth to keep it

fair enough but you will not be able to even buy a flat if your just working partime.

a house is a big investment, need to sacrifice a lot.

The Skyline is definitely cheaper to insure than the s15.

There is no definate on this IMHO. It all depends on age, driver rating/history, insurer and obviously mods to the car...a lot of factors affect insurance premiums...from my experiences...premiums drop a lot when you hit 30 :P providing u had a clean driving history...full comp on my 99 GTT is $950 with justcars...

In my experience the import has always been cheaper than it's locally delivered alternatives. My R33 is $1.5k cheaper to insurance than a S14A would have been (hence the decision to go the R33)

Both are great cars and are hard to compare running costs as it depends on your driving style and condition of the car you purchase.

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
