Are you sure it sold to Mr. Adelaide? Cos I'm pretty sure I saw that white 34 GTR at Curtin yesterday afternoon I specifically remmeber the black mark, about 15cm long below the driver side headlight... Or maybe he bought it and is waiting to ship it over lol. Dunno.. if it was me, after I'd paid 40k for a sports car, I'd want the keys and definately wouldn't let the old owner still drive it around to uni

Seller insisted on a home job done by him and refused to take car to third party mechanic.. dodgy.. :S

So how'd you go? End up getting that 34?

He was tied up with work, msged me saying he'll do it today with a kit he borrowed from work, as he's a mechanic. If that checks out, I'll get him to do another infront of me and then if a garage can verify it, I'm happy to take the car off him I'll let you guys know how it goes hopefully later tonight :S

I spoke to Sean on the phone and he managed to squeeze me in the very next day It wasn't him who did the test though..was one of the younger mechanics. Seller said he'll get it done again today.. will let you guys know how that goes. I really am quite keen on this car! But if the results concur with the first... Fingers crossed!

Yeah.. if the second result is consistant with the first, I wouldn't hesitate to walk away. It's just that I'm not sure if the result is accurate. Would be a pity if I gave up on this one due to a dodgy test, as the mechanic said everything else was in top knick :l Lol that's ironic James. The place I took it for the first test was Allstar Garage literally across the road from Hyperdrive xD Will give them a ring tmr to see if they can book me in later this week. Cheers

What's a wet test? Sounds kinky

Oh okay thanks for the explanation Martin Are there any workshops in Perth that you would recommend to do a second compression and leakdown test?

Thanks for the replies guys. The car was driven to the workshop, which is about a 30 min journey at freeway speeds, so I'm guessing it was done warm? That's the thing though.. it drives very smoothly and doesn't blow a puff of smoke even when revved up to 6k rpm. Not sure what kind of test was done though, we just left it at the mechanic's and went to grab the transfer forms and transferred the car back onto regular plates. :S Was done at a workshop I found in the WA consolidated workshop thread, and was recommended to me by forum users D: Had a chat with the seller, he looked genuinely surprised and said he definitely wants to pay for a second opinion, so I guess I'll wait for the results of that and take it from there. :S Also, just curious- how does the leak down test actually work? I've heard it mentioned here and there, but not 100% sure what it actually means :S Thanks guys

Hey guys. I was looking to buy my first Skyline, did my homework, looked around and ended up pretty happy with this R34 GTT. Picked up the bank cheque this morning, spent 1.5k on some fresh rubber and some stockies as he wanted to keep the rims, sorted out all the insurance, even had the transfer of ownership forms filled out and ready to be signed. Did an inspection and compression test as a last thing this afternoon. Everything was looking good, no accident damage, no rust. Just needed new tyres, new brake pads..stuff like that. And then... compression test results: 160 150 105 155 100 110 It was totally unexpected, as the car runs smoothly, doesn't blow smoke or cough and sputter. Was really only doing it as a last peace of mind kind of thing. :l The question now is, is it worthwhile getting a second opinion? It just seems kind of weird that not one.. not two.. but 3 of the 6 cylinders are leaking so badly, while the others are going strong at 150-160. I'm thinking it could be a dodgy test, but the mechanic said he double checked and got the same numbers, so I'm not too sure.. I'm really quite dissapointed :l If everything checked out, it would be in my garage right now!! Has anyone here been in a similar situation or have any advice? Not too sure where to go from here :S Thanks guys Lyndon

Oops.. I mean ER34008490. Seller game me wrong VIN. Wrote down a 4 as a 9

That's the kinda stuff insurance company's wet dreams are made of Oooh a guy just msged me.. he has a set primed and ready to paint Do you know roughly how much a set of decent rubber would cost for 17x7.5's?

Oh lol. There's shitloads of imports in curtin lol Why'd you sell your 33 GTR dude? I saw the for sale thread not too long ago. Looked mint! The ones that used to be pink? lol. Would the offset suit a GTT tho? It came off his GTR right :S

Haha does the white 33 have Work Emotions and CF hood? And the black gtst veilside front bar? Those are my friend's cars lol. They're the ones that originally got me into imports Anyway.. 34 GTT WHEELS! Preferably in black already :S PM me

Where do you usually park at? I see a cream s13 all the time in EJ carpark lol and a white fd with custom plates

Haha cheers buddy Do you go to Curtin? I see quite a few imports there There's this beautiful white 32 GTR that I see every Monday morning on the way to my physics lec lol.

Hey guys. Would be much appreciated if ER34008990 could be done Cheers

I'm still a uni student, so saving up for some nice ones like te37's or lmgt4's. Lowered coupe with black capless stockies = sex on a budget ;D hehe http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=12715E14171E

Havn't heard from anyone in that thread yet, and need a set ASAP! Wouldn't have have made this one otherwise :S Sorry mods if this is too much :S New to the forums and skyline ownership!

Man.. those lmgt4's look mint... Saw a white 32 GTR with a bronze set the other day Oh, btw, you're looking for a set of 32 gtr rims right? This guy is selling a set he got with his s2 r33: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ht-t317090.html

Yeah I contacted that guy, but would much prefer a set in Perth :l Told him if I can't get hold of any, will prob just buy his. Thanks though for the promt response

Hey guys. I'm buying my first skyline, an R34 GTT, but it doesn't include the lmgt2's on it, so I need a set of r34 stockies by the end of the week :S Checked first 10 pages of for sale thread, and also called up some wreckers and compliance places, but no luck :l Closest I got was KYP who had 3 rims.... There must be a set for sale floating around Perth somewhere! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, Lyndon

Need ASAP! Closest I found was a wrecker who had 3..
