GOATMAN!!!

CHeers for the input guys. Might go have a good look then. Don't like the sound of replacing studs though, I also suspect the owner of this car was on his P's. Do you think I would be better off going for an '88 4 door? (that an R31?) I have about $4000 to spend, (from what I have seen these are going for about $2000 anyway) Including about 1000 in reserve after rego, insurance etc, just for any nasty surprises. Would one of them use much more fuel?

I'm about to get my licence and am looking at 1984 NISSAN SKYLINE Ti 5 door, 2.4L 5sp manual. What I am wondering, is how many K's these engines will do? The ad SAYS 256,721 and I will have to check that out (among a heap of other things of course) but how much is too much? I wasn't thinking of going over 200 000, but I know some engines will go a good 3 or 4 hundred thousand before a rebuild. The other thing is, I expected parts to be reasonably priced for this car (being australian made and all). Is that correct or am I completely wrong? Is there anything specific I should look at other than the usual stuff on this car? Should I avoid it alltogether? Anything else I need to know? http://www.redbook.com.au/vehiclesearch/De...sp?key=NISS84AU that's the redbook page for it. Anyone know the sort of fuel efficiancy on this thing (I guess if I have to ask I shouldn't get a 6 - cylinder ey :wassup: ) And the wieght. Thanks for you time guys
