Trent,

My mate who also owns a skyline got harrased by the cops on friday night when we were in the city.... he was picking on us coz we drive skylines...

He couldnt understand why we bought skylines instead of a commodores - in his words, a commodore can do anything a skyline can do... apparently.

Maybe you should take the nice police officers words of advice and invest in a commodore..... im sure you'll find one in your price range.

(keep in mind, this police office with "vast" amounts of "knowledge" also told us that intercoolers do nothing but look shiney and larger exhaust do nothing but make noise.... smart guy :P )

HAHAHA you guys are slack, funny shit though......

& CootieWild, just search the for sales section of the forum, or browse carpoint.com.au to get a general idea on vehicle prices....

Also I take it that you know next to nothing about cars, so abit of reasrch woudn't go astray either... helps to know what you can expect from vehicles... it's not enough to just own a car, you have to remember that there are plenty of other associated costs, such as rego, insurance, servicing, moding, fuel, car care products, fines, tolls... etc etc

Also you probably don't have a licence yet, or are on your L's, so when you do get your P's you won't be able to legally drive a GTR if your in VIC or NSW. not that you'd be able to handle it and therefore probably end up another statistic cause you were showing off to your mates....

Buy a shit little run around car, get the hang of things, learn alittle about how it all works (shitty first cars are great for that), and if you crash it, you probably won't care so much.... wait a few years and figure out what it is exactly that you want and can afford.

yeh im on my L's here in QLD we dont have any restrictions to what kind of cars we can drive on our P's...

Well then do any of u that are payin me out...no of anyone with a rolling shell they would depart with?

OMFG

the only skylines you will get for that much is R31s, R30s, and C210s. You couldnt even get a clean R31 silo for that much.

Yep, rolling shells are good to start with when your 16. And a car you put together yourslef will be very good to drive if you dont have any clue about cars (which it sounds like)

Absoloute gold.

yeh well if it will stop u payin out on me yeh sure...and doesnt building ur own car make it better 2 drive :(

No... Just makes the overall price so much more expensive. :D

I would much prefer to buy something that already has mods and nice paint.

Gearbox, diff rebuilds are cheaper than a a nice paint job and decent turbo/injector/ecu setup.

    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
    • Do this, and we'll have a resource right here.
    • "Hybrid" is a meaningless term. I could not tell you what the vendor of that turbo means by "hybrid".
