I don't even know where to start. So lets make a game out of it:

1 point for each part that you can identify that's missing

1 point for each part that shouldn't belong in the pictures

bonus point for coming up with a good story that explains how the fcuk all this came to be.

Good luck, and have fun.

Well obviously it has the correct motor in it *cough* BULLSHIT *cough*

It's got R32 GTS-t 4 spot brakes instead of the Brembos, so there's probably a halfcut involved (motor + front brakes + whatever else)

Speedo has had a MPH thing stuck on top of the KMH text (Interesting trick for compliancing perhaps? Are Americans that stupid?) but it's still obviously a standard Jap cluster

Are those factory front seats?

I like how on the "Please Note" thing it says that people are suggesting that it has an RB25 in it

ahahahaha, funny stuff. love the disclaimer at the bottom of the page.

i'm gonna grab one point and say the nissan keyhole cover on the boot is missing.

more than likely removed by the american owner (at the same time as the heavy rb26 was replaced) when he unlocked a stage 2 weight reduction.

My favourite part is how the guy has no clue that the R33 is the chassis designation (hence why its a part of the VIN number).

The VIN Number on the vehicle is: BCNR33 - 009131.  Seeing the R33 in the VIN also led us to understand that this is in fact the R33 model.  One thing we can see for sure is that it does have All Wheel Drive - another indication of it being an R33.

Yes.....because all R33s have 4WD, and only R33 Skylines came with it.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
