Hey Guys... It's been awhile since I last posted in this as I was on holiday in Tassie when I started the thread and the Skyline I had my eye on was sold before I got a chance to look at it. So I'd put off the search for a Skyline as there wasn't much else that caught my eye. Until now.... Another one has come up for sale. Same deal...1995 GTS-T, White, Sunroof yada yada... It looks to be for sale at the same place as the other one, and I'm almost convinced it's the same car. Only it's 2k cheaper. Should I be worried about that? It's advertised for roughly $9k + on-roads. Is that too cheap? Should I be a bit iffy about it? Also, if it is the same car, I guess I should be concerned as to why it's for sale again a month later at a cheaper price, yeah?

Well, after looking at numerous skylines, for some reason I prefer the look of the R33. I have no idea why, it's just the R33 is more appealing to me. I still like the look of the R34, both are nice looking cars exterior wise, but I'd just rather the R33. As for traction control, I couldn't really careless to be honest. My XU6 doesn't have traction control and I can throw that round corners quite well in the wet.... For a chick.

Thanks for that, that's great information. The one I'm looking at is unmodified and according to the website it's recently imported from Japan, not yet registered here. It looks untouched from the photos, the only mod I can see so far is the exhaust. As for the 4-wheel steering, after learning from you guys that it doesn't affect day to day driving, I'm not worried about it. I'm not exactly the type to be flinging it sideways at every corner. And like I've been informed that if I really don't like it, I can get the lock-bar? put it in and it'll be like it was never there....I hope. What's the deal with imports being registered? Is there any chance I could end up with something dodgy, compliance wise? Is there any way I check things like that?

Redbook says between $10,600 and $12,700. So I'm guessing it's a good price. As soon as I find out about where it is, I'll go and suss it out.

Ahhh ok, so the whole 4-wheel steering thing isn't as bad as I've been told it is. It may take some getting used to, but it's not necessarily a bad thing? Well, knowing that has made the skyline hunting much easier. I've got my eye on a 1995 R33 GTS-T advertised at $10,990. Not sure on the extras it's got as I'm not too sure what they come with as standard. But it's got a sunroof! Is this a good price?

Thanks for your replies guys. Good to hear they are reliable enough to convert other people! I'm trying to keep my price limit around the 20k mark. I'm willing to go more though depending on the car itself. (i.e. year, features, extras etc) I'm not particularly after a modified one, although I wouldn't say no to a custom purple one! Can anyone shed some more light on this whole 4-wheel sterring thing? And how I'll find the way it drives compared to say my Commodore?

I use Winamp for mine as well. After trying to figure out Itunes, and cracking it after it wouldn't even pick up my ipod, I found Winamp, and it's so easy and quick to use.

Hey everyone, Not sure if this is the place to post this, so please feel free to move it to where-ever it may belong! I'm in the market for a new car, having previously always owned Holdens, (currently a '91 VN and a HSV VT XU6) for some reason I'm feeling the need for change. And I'm quite keen on a Skyline. But I am completely clueless about them! I've had a quick look around a few car sales websites, and the R33's and R34's are the ones catching my eye. Most of the ones I'm looking at say they have 4-wheel steering, can some one please explain to me how this works exactly, the pro's and con's of it and if it's a good thing or not? Some people I've spoken to about it have said to stay away from it, but they aren't skyline owners or anything, so I'm not to sure whether to take their word for it. Also what other sort of things should I look for? Things to stay away from etc. So basically, convince me to buy a Skyline over a Super 6 Holden! Oh, another thing.....What is a good price for a Turbo, 2 door coupe in the year range 1994 - 1999? Thanks in advance
