As others have said and assuming you do not purchase a dud. The ongoing maintenance costs will be similar (if not slightly higher due to needing quality oils) to any other Japanese 15-20yo car. If this is your first car, I don't recommend a skyline, great car yes, but not for someone new into cars and who obviously has a strict budget. For the same price you can get a lot newer, cheaper, run about. Like any car if you decide later to drive the car very hard, do not maintain it correctly, or to modify it to output significantly more power, your maintenance costs will increase. Common Skyline specific workshops include Trojan motorsports and ESP, however any workshop can do basic maintenance. You could probably get one of those mentioned shops to do a inspection before purchase, may costs a few hundred, but it will likely save you thousands if you avoid a dud.

Weight saving?

Shell, that's old school thinking. Traveling back from PI 200km/h+ only one of us that got booked for speeding was the scooter. 140 in 100 zone.

But how do you then do the skyline wave?

I'll be there if someone picks up the tent and banner from Shell

thanks for confirming. Maybe last year the numbers were low becase of the two skyline type nationals at goulbourne.

So just one track day this year? And no drag day?

With so many great R33 GTR already in the country, why pay for the extra hassle of getting one imported? Unless it is a really special one off type car.

The Secretary - Skylines Australia NSW can however supply a tent and SAU ACT banner

Simple, install big brake kit, brakes now lots cooler.

Always open to any car Scar

Not sure I've evered been offered warranty. Will be looking for it on the big engine build.

Knew Jayce from years back before GTR's. HB mate.

Great seller. Sorry to see you move on from the car John.

Dependant on date I'm interested. Good to see the difference from Jakes to another dyno. Don't forget Ultimate tunes have a huge TV for dyno runs (or did), so that's another option. Also one day Trojan might have their 4wd dyno running.

Normal bearing/seal etc gone in the old pump, nothing major. Next SAU track day is probably the next outing.

Yes Kudos are correct N1 water pumps are only useful for cars that don't see a lot of traffic or have a very good cooling system. Luckily Canberra doesn't have lots of traffic and I have a very nice radiator plus the car rarely goes slow enougth for this to be an issue. On the other hand the car does sit at high RPM a lot of it's working life. The standard temp guage works fine. Like any guage you need to look at it. The installation requires the taking out of the radiator etc so a bit of work, cost me about 450 but I had a bit of other stuff done at the same time at Trojan.
