unfinished project.. body needs TLC.. selling cheap as... not been run in yrs.. sounds like it needs a fair bit to get it going.. i would be careful about turning it on.. prob needs everything manually primed and pump to get everything lubricated.. and prob requires some work.. and most prob won't pass a road worthy test... so if you want a car you need to work on to get it going then yeah might be good... but for a car that you wanna drive the same day.. no i wouldnt.. i'd also be suspicious of the engine.. and you never know... but again all depends on what you want it for.. most on here will agree with me and wouldnt buy it if you arent going to put the effort into it.. or take a risk on it costing you more than you might think if problems arise

Any Recent Experiences With Carmate ?
.:: GimpS-R34 ::. replied to Wacky Dee's topic in Exterior & Interior Styling
LOL $100.00 trial fit? if they want your business and if they are confident with their work they'd do a trial fit for nothing.. i mean i know some ppl that go "test" a car ina car yard for a spin in that car/for fun.. but who goes to trial kits for fun... understandably if a buyer wanted to see 2+ body kits cause they can't decide.. but if they are willing to buy on good fitment then no charge should be placed.. agree on DMD 100%.. i bought my Do-Luck front bar and vented front fenders and they the best fitment i've seen -

don't carmate offer fitment if you go to their shop? just get them to fit the products before you buy.. and i think its a bit of hit & miss with fiberglass.. however i had a pleasant experience with them -

Well that's good you got it sorteded then.. but a whole new thread for that.. can't just post it in your original thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Br...al-t247303.html <--- Related to this thread

well i'd say compliance will know a rebirth.. and generally rebirths will be done in aust to sell in aust as it's done to fool the general public.. also speak to another forum member (and business trader) CARISMA... he's in VIC so can help too
-
are you in VIC? cause i know the rules in Vic are either pod or intercooler.. so thats why he may have took pictures? as to the EPA.. i don't see why you shouldnt be able to change the car as much as you like back to stock to pass it.. although i've never had to go to epa.. so others can confirm
-
yeah you'd be paying more than 2k.. they will assess the parts and bring in a price.. bonnets still good... could sell that for a good price..
-
i'm assuming your in vic.. if so why not speak to a forum member on here.. called Iron Chef.. he imports cars.. he's in adelaide but you can be guarenteed that he's genuine.. he mght be able to help

you can do a revs check.. and in qld (not sure what other states do) you can do a vcheck.. you just need to check that the VIN & engine number match.. also can post the VIN in the "VINs you want fasted" thread and someone will let you know all the details on the car (colour, make, engine no) and you can check to ensure the car is all to spec.. this ensures the engine hasnt been replaced.. that it is the car that they say it is, etc.. now in terms of the k's.. done worry about them.. they are most likely changed.. mines on 57,000 lol the guy is an importer.. seems a little cheap for the exchange atm.. just dont go for the cheapies if you got the money.. cause there's always a reason they are cheap
-
its a common issue.. you can run standards again.. and they may not cause an issie or need replacing (anytime soon)... although standards may just mean same problem down the track.. spitfires (or equiv) are the go nissan frown upon your grey import so dont worry too much about them.. just find a good mech in ur area (posting in the appropriate section QLD, NSW, VIC, etc about recommended mechanic workshops in your area will help with this)
-
that's the most stupid post i've seen. first.. yes manual is fun.. but if your not bothered/lots of traffic.. then manual isnt a big issue second.. coilpacks are like $500.. its not a massive cost and servicing the car is not any different to servicing a commodore.. costs start to arise when you start using top oils and parts for performance.. but its an auto non-turbo.. if your a wank driver/gods gift to p platers then yes a shit heap to roll around in isnt going to set you back when you realise that god really doesnt like you.. but if your sensible then any car for a first doesnt matter... insurance shouldnt be too bad on non-turbo either.. might sting you for first time licence holder though.. as for your questions... the best advice i can say is search... there is a bounty of info on this website.. specs for any models - also wiki is a good place for this what to look for - there is a massive thread on here about what to do.. any known issues - coil packs on the 34 as mentioned.. but that is an easy fix.. petrol - would run on 91 ron but as always i wouldnt recommend it as its dirty fuel.. import grade.. check the import section as there is a graph as to the quality of the car.. i think that means its good condition with some signs of wear (but this will usually be the fact, especially on a 7+ yr old car)

R33 Gts-t Stock Intercooler
.:: GimpS-R34 ::. replied to cdw666's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Just Cars full comp.. $1350 FTW... (with mild mods) and the insurance + excess = nowhere near the car's cost of replacement.. it's so high cause all these boy racers think they are gods gift to cars.. -

IF its the same car.. just means it might not be selling.. enquire as to whether its the same car and why the price was lowered.. for 9K i'd be concerned that it may not be in top cond. but that could be anything.. get a mechanic (racv is good for victoria) and get a full test done.. just go over it with a fine toothpick and magnifying glass and be happy that its not a dud before you buy
