Veeedka,

That is a damn fine car you picked up !! :P

There's always going to be someone telling you that you "could have" or "should have" etc but what you've got is a sweet ride !! So go out and enjoy it !!

And think about the money you don't have to spend upgrading the turbo or installing a FMIC etc, etc, etc. :laugh:

Oh........ and welcome to the world of "Skylines" :)

That's what I thought :laugh:

It's an awesome car to drive! I love the fact that I don't have to worry about rolling my car when going around corners anymore... so much easier and more fun!

Ah, I can see myself having fun with this for a while...

And thanks :laugh:

How often are NSW skyline cruises? haha.

I'm in actually in the same situation as Veeedka was, when he looking for a skyline. I asked around if i should get a GTS and put in a turbo later on, but people advised me not to due to some having problems with high compression or something. Or removing the turbo from a GTS-T. So i opted to get a GTS and later on sell it to another kid in my situation who wants a skyline but must buy a GTS and i'll go get a GTS-T or GTR later on.

When it comes to cars, im an absolute noob. I was reading a thread on what to look for in a skyline, what i should be aware of and what problems to look for. My dad has some decent knowledge about cars but i don't think he would be able to spot everything listed.

A few things what im really concearned about is buying a rebirthed car (no idea where to look for if its legit or not, PIC's of the typical place it would be would be some nice help :) ) or a car which has been in an accident where the suspension has been damaged (after hearing the car will never be able to drive straight again).

Realistically what do you guys do when you buy/bought a car(skyline)?

Seems there are so many things to look for that it wouldn't be done in 1 day, coz seriously i would hate to have some guy coming more than 1 day having a constant look at the car for hours and taking it for spin and pushing the car.

Just an out of the blue question, what kind of mods are legal for P's after the restrictions? Exhaust, filters, Cold air intake or whateva? I won't be planning on putting it straight away, since i need to learn how to walk before i can run :thumbsup:

EDIT:

and i do prefer the r33 looks over the r32 :P

Edited by jon4r

rebirthed skylines is a bit of a misnommer

often it is high kay engines that get rebirthed - or gtr's

a simple rac/nrma/whatever company is in ur state check with the engine number and chassis number and all that should be a sufficient check

and searching the forums helps - make the search ur best friend!!!

I was in the same situation as you, you've got a perfect amount of cash right there eh, any GTS around you can pretty much get. I picked up my r33 gts gunmetal grey, 74000k's for 12.7 from a dealer with lots of goodies :P Start looking on carsales.com.au and carpoint.com.au

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
