Im in the process in looking to buy a skyline. The first thing i look at when i go to the yards and search on the web is k's. I find it hard to believe that a car that is 14,15 years old has clocked 80,000 or 90,000 k's. In your opioion how many k's would be the lowest (legit) for a 91,92 skyline, is it a better idea to buy from a privet or import seller, how many k's was you skyline when you bought it and what year is your skyline?

mine has 72 thou on it when I imported it.

I even think they were legit.

long story short, don't trust the k's - often wound back in japan, and its soooooo easy to get a new dash in aus.

take it for a spin, check it out - the motors are good for quite a while (just make sure the timing belt has been replaced, or do it yourself)

any more info than that - see up the top... under the red bit in the banner(SAU)... see how it says Search... use it.

oh - and I'd reccomend personal sales - cheaper, if you know what you are doing...

way too easy to wind back or replace speedo odometer etc. never trust the k's on any of 'em. mechanical inspection is a must. see what kida wear n tear is on the car. body damage rust. worn seats gear shift knob if manual. stuff like that.

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
