New To Forum And Skylines

[seabournelegend]

Forgive me for i am new and i dont know whether this is posted in the right spot, but i am looking at buying a skyline for $11000 i have looked around but dont know which skyline is the best, things i would like to know is what kind of fuel consumption do they have (are they fuel guzzlers, turbo & non turbo)

are they easy to get parts as the wreckers or something like that (instead of getting parts from japan)

I really much appreciate any help as i dont want to buy a lemon.

Thanks

Well,

1. For $11k you will have the exclusive option of a very stock R32 GTSt or GTS4 (GTS4 is the turbo 4WD). If you are willing to spend upto $17,000 you could look at all R32 and R33 Skylines with low to no mods.

2. Fuel consumption from the non GTR's is ok if the car is in stock form. 500kms from a tank on normal driving is not uncommon. If you are constantly giving it stick and are on the boost most of the time, expect half of that.

3. Nissan will stock what you need but at a hefty price, I have no experience with stock at wreckers but there is no shortage of after market parts for Skylines (Jap import).

11k would probably get you a mildly modified 32 gts-t....

or a bone stock 33, depending on where you look really. 33's are going way cheap at the moment. so wont be to hard to find one for the right price. just have to look.

and agreed, buying parts directly from nissan costs an arm and a leg.

remmber, u need cash left over for rego and insurance. if u goin full comp and u on ur P's ur look at no less than $1500. rego, add another $560. plus a bita spare cash for a service once u get the car...or anything u might need to do. if u've got 11k total, id be saving a couple more grand if i was u, and pik up a nice 32gts-t.

as far as parts go, thers plenty of wreckers u can pik bits and pieces up from, just be careful what parts u have to go searching for, cause some parts are harder to find than u think.

good luck.
