$budget $3k insurance

rego in VIC is like $400-$500 dont know bout QLD

tyres, depends on rims, and quality of tyres....

fuel, $50 -$100 a week, depends how much you drive, how hard etc...

factor in loan repayments

need money for general maintenance and also for problems....

mods if you want any.

stereo equip, alarm equip etc

yeah thats kinda why im gonna buy it out right, so i dont have to worry about repayments, and as for driving it, 50 bucks a week on fuel should do it, its mostly round town driving, plus i dont like being in debt...gives ya the feeling.....tah bad one

save up another 5 K and your laughing. plenty of spare parts for r32... and im sure u can afofrd the fuel!

gluck!

yeah ive got the 10 grand now because of the selling commy, so u reckon that 10 grand isnt a bad price for a 91 GTS-t R32?

i dunno id prolly save up till about 12-13K for r32, maybe a couple of more just to get one of the best examples. but hunt around and bargain, im sure you can find one for 13 K and bring it down to 12 or even lower... if ur thinking of buying soon then i suggest start scouring the net and local car yards.

also with any rather used cars, you should always have a few grand lying around just incase things go wrong (new brakes, new fuel pump etc). this was you protect yourself from any bullshit that your RACV dude failed to spot when buying the car.

so in the end put aside 12-13 K for the car, 2-3 K for the insurance and rego, and another 2 K for any bullshit u might run into in the first few months. so really it gets pricey down the track but you already knew that.

so which is the better way to go do you think? I know you can definatly pick one up private sale for 9 grand with a RWC, i havent looked at the dealers yet, i'm kinda in the crap-end of no where, so dealers arent everywhere.....

i doubt many dealers will have r32s... GTRs yeah but GTSTs... try those import based dealers.

PS this site has a shitload of r32s for sale.

:):):P WHERE WHERE WHERE.....lol sorry bro...im new to this site, but hell yeah ill have a look

just to let you know. I'm 18 and have had one at fault claim (write off) one speeding fine and it costs me $3400 to insure my R33. I dont have many things to pay for and I'm an apprentice mechanic so if anything goes wrong its f**k all to fix really. Just have to pay for parts :)

with performance cars, there is often no 'part time driver' policies.

It is based on the youngest driver ie. YOU!, so that these things can't be dodged. I got a quote for both me as only driver, and as youngest driver, and it was the exact same amount

yeah i know......i was just seeing if there was any possible loop hole in the system....simply because i cannot afford the comprehensive option, but its clear im gonna have to go CTP, i guess sometimes you gotta sacrifice some things to have something you like.... :D

wow....$3400 is quite alot of money for a years insurance.....i figure because of the write off claim and the speeding ticket would have affected this big time?

Mate if you think that its too dear then do this: get a third party (fire and theft) cover which is around a few hundred bucks. Then get that $3000, put it in the bank, get the car, drive around as careful as can be, dont floor it like a knob and drive like a granny when in the wet. Next year put another 3 grand into the bank and hopefully you havent had any accidents and you already will have 6 grand to spend in case you had a bad accident, the year after put like another 2 grand aside and by then you would of prolly saved up enough cash for yourself to repair it.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
