Awsome! Thanks but, I think i got it under control now. Just want it on the road yesterday so i can start enjoying it. :lol:

So hello there! I'm a proud owner of an R32 GTS4 which i picked up last weekend and currently getting things ready for the road. Can't wait to get into it and take it for a descent spin around Brissy. Got afew things to do first and hopefully by the end of the week i'll have it on the road. Just got the 32 back from the mechanics. I took possession of my baby on Saturday From John and i"m very pleased with the purchase. Thanks John . I knew it wasn't gonna be just the boots that need fixing and got my new baby at a good price. Roughly adding it all up, it isn't too bad considering it's a 1989 model and the repairs been done by the previous owner. So it worked out well so far. I hope no more gremlins pop up and set me back further cause i just want to go for a cruise in my new baby. Almost std with coilovers, 18's and boost controller but running std boost. It's even got a std side mount IC and std automatic front lower lip. Here's a list of what i need done for RWC on my baby. I * Exhaust front pipe replaced ( has a descent size hole on it) * Clutch master and Slave cylinder * Mount the pod filter and get a cover for it * Steering rack boots and wheel alignment * LHF Tie rod end and rack end * LHF Lower control inner ball joint * Front CV shafts ( still good, might only need boots replaced) * All 3 wiper blades * Engine clean up under vehicle Diognostic Fault eng11( crank angle sensor or circuit ) reseted this morning by Rolscar Mechanical, Darra on Station Rd. He didn't mention the 4wd system but will get that done asap. I didn't expect that much stuff to be stuffed but if it needs to, well you then have to. It ain't that bad, just starting to go. Just hope it ain't gonna be over $700 to fix it ( wishfull thinking). Does anyone know how much it'll set me back? I've got it booked into DRIVELINE SERVICES AUSTRALIA tomorrow and was quoted $300 for all the boots fitted but will ask them to get whatever they can do fom the list above done. Does anyone have parts that i can buy for the repairs? Would really like a front pipe and even the cat too, i suppose i can pull it off my ma61 7mgte but it's custom and i'll have to modify it to fit ( couldn't be stuffed atm, just want to drive it :lol: ). Any tips anyone? any help is appreciated with thanks in advance. Cheers BTW what kinda oil will i need to use for the 4WD reservior in the rear boot? Any oil preferrence?

SOLD! SOLD! SOLD! to me! Yay

:thumbsup:Well I'm the proud owner of that car now! Took possession on saturday and found water in the brake line and air too. Flushed the right side and got the braking back. gotta flush all 4 to check it out. needs front pipe and all boots on cv and steering changed. Mechanic will tell me tomorrow. Driveline Services Australia are gonna do the boots $300 was the quote. John seem like a totally different bloke on saturday, he was alot more helpful and gave me an awsome deal. John. I'll do the body soon as my piggy bank gets abit fatter. The time being is to get it on the road again. oh and thanks boy for the info. It was very helpfull.

oh and he doesn't mention anything about the repair in his advert. I've seen the car but will be back to go through it more carefully. Can you notice the paint difference in the first pic? I only noticed it after i personally viewed the car.

Thanks for the advice. I am intending on buying it but i will have another chat with him to see what info he has. It's was rego'd till last november and recons that he's intention was to turn it into a track car. This is his advert. Check it out. 1989 R32 GTS4 Manual. I wanted to turn this car into a track only car when it's rego expired. But the missus and I just can't afford that at the moment, and we don't have the space to keep it until we do. So as much as I hate to get rid of it (it was my first Skyline), it has to go. ~96,600ish on odometer but cluster has been changed. When I bought the car it had ~98,000 on it with a jumpy speedo. The cluster was changed for one as close to the same number as I could get at the time (~89,400). So the car itself is actually sitting on ~106,000 Pretty much stock except for: K&K Coilovers front and rear (height and rebound adjustable). Currently lowered to 100mm lowest point on car (exhaust) Pod Filter Manual Boost Controller 3" cat-back exhaust Mongoose immobiliser Guard lips have been rolled on all corners (I kept the black plastic linings from the fronts though if the buyer wants them for whatever reason) Currently sitting on 18" x 8.5" wheels with near new (95% tread) HiFly 801 tyres. Slight rash on the two left wheels, but nothing a bit of flat black paint won't cure. The wheels cost me $1500 and the tyres were $100ea If the buyer doesn't want these they can bring their own wheels and take $1,000 off the price of the car. 100,000km service done 4,500kms ago. New water pump, timing belt, tensioner, pulley and cam seals. As well as engine oil, filter and spark plugs being changed. Coolant and brake fluid changed at same time. New pod filter 5,000kms ago. New coil packs December 2010. New front brake pads and rotors about 5 months ago. Rears still at 10mm. Paint is weather worn and faded unfortunately as those red cars like to do All boot trims, interior trims, panels etc are all there except the LHF air vent. Front auto spoiler still works. Comes with a spare wheel speed sensor so you can run it in 4WD or permanently in 2WD if you wish (currently has the 2WD sensor installed). Rego runs out on 18/11 so selling unregistered. I haven't had a major look over the car, so I'm not 100% sure on what it needs for it's roadworthy. I know the CV boots are a definite thing to take car of, but apart from that I'm not sure.

Can anyone help? I think he use to hang out at maccas Aspley but not sure. Won't use any names, just wanna know what the car has been through and what kinda life it had.

Hi Fellas. Does anyone know anything about this gts4? ex-rego plate 543lza and use to have tri-spokes on all fours. He's not letting onto much so i guess there's something fischy about it. Has been repaired and the pic says it all. looks like front right guard had been changed and the rear quarter panel pillar section had been repaired but now big cracks are coming up. apparently he doesn't know what needs to be fixed on it execpt the cv boot, lol. i'm pretty sure he know more but not saying anything. The condition of the vehicle isn't nowhere near as clean as the photos he posted. It has a big SAU sticker on the rear quarter window so i thought i'd check with you guys to find out what he's hiding. Honesty goes along way and now i'm iffy on buying it. I hope it ain't a write-off or unregistable? PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!! EX-REGO:543LZA any info will be greatly appreciated.
