wheres the front mount ic gone? i didnt think gtr's had side mounts.............lol

the front mount is still clearly there...

It is very rare to find these Skylines outside of Japan.

The insurance company settled with the owner for $45,000.

ha ha! the owner would be laughing! value of car + original engine + seats + brakes + wheels etc... what a champ!

Wow, that is scary. Someone will end up crying over that car. It looks like it WAS a genuine GTR at some point, based on this pic:

But everything that makes a GTR something more than "just" a GTS4 is gone! Someone will see GTR on Ebay, go yes yes yes buy buy buy, then cry cry cry when they realise they have been screwed out of $US18000.

I also can't beleive that the previous owner for $45k for that GTR! That is almost BMW M3 money in America!

" Once in a long while, you come across a real gem."

* Roof needs a new skin, or repair existing roof

* Right quarter panel needs repair

* Right door needs body work. The mirror is missing and the door post is torn. It will need a replacement piece and some welding for repair.

* Both fenders are damaged

* Three of the rims are damaged as shown in the photo. They are in a condition where they could still be rebuilt/refurbished.

* Front bumper has some cracks in the bottom portion (repairable)

* Spoiler has a crack on the left side (repairable)

* Needs a front windshield, the rear and rear quarter glass

* Needs the right side skirt

It was one of only a handful Motorex complied GTR's in America, and is worth money to someone as it is federally legal in 50 states. Since Motorex is out of business, skylines are a thing of the past there, so its definately worth it to someone. Considering your average R33 GTR cost $30-45k over there, you could get it fixed up for a similar overall price.

that was priceless. well the bloke figured out what happend and re-listed with some changes to the ad. it has now sold for $15K US.

basically appart from the body damage you would need:

engine, clutch and poissibly gearbox. brakes, repair engine loom, and new seats. that's about it i think. not too bad. BUT the car has been pretty heavily crashed so you'd still be spending money fixing the damage.

      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.
