Hi abdi, hope you had a good NYE . Look @ this link above to start with. It depends wether you are going to use your own cash or finance to get the car, because if it is finance generally you can only use a dealer, unless you get a personal loan. When you find the one for you, do a through check... you don’t want a lemon... there are plenty of lemons out there for sale, so be careful [Get RACV to inspect, it costs, but its better to know before you buy the car if its shit, rather than after]. The last thing that you want is a Skyline that comes with a world of trouble.

look at this link:

hope this helps you out a bit. Have a good one

What are you being extremely picky on? Maybe list what you are looking for as with the hundreds of skylines out there for sale, nationwide, there must be one that fits your needs?

If not, have you thought about importing?

[khunjeng]

yeah what he said....

what do u want and what are you looking for?

[abdi]

yo thanks alot for helping me

im looking for a stocky 96'-97' GTS-T skyline.

im planning on making the car look like this:

but the problem im not looking to spend over $15,500.

With all the work i have to do to the car, ill be in sooooo much dept.

but trust me, having a car that looks like this is definetly worth.

Firstly, that photo is of a GTR...with aftermarket kit, bonnet and guards etc....

Shouldn't be too hard to find a stock R33 for around $15k though...there's a lot of them for sale.

So the problem is you want a 96/97 skyline for $15.5K? Most people will move on price if you are a serious buyer. If you are PMing them with offers like that on here, you might not get much response. If I were you, I would be going to some private sellers who are pitching their car around the 16-18K mark and see what they say. That price from what I know would be the bottom of the 96/97 market which could be why you are struggling.

As Dezz says, that is a GTR so if you are planning on making it look like that, get a GTR to start with as the GTST lines and "hips" that look good on that car, aren't on the GTST.

i was lucky enough to get my 96 gtst (auto) for 10 grand

[KamikazeR33]

usually u get wat u pay for. if ur paying more ur usually heading towards a well kept and generally nicer car overall

[eMsta]

s2 r33 for 15.5 grand huh? There are plenty out there. The photo you have put up there is a gtr - and no gts-t can ever look that good. You can put the front bar, the badge etc - but there are subtle visual differences that would still set the car apart from a gtr. however, you can put some good kits to make the car look awesome.

I would recommend SSV in oakleigh - they have a good range of cars. Saff cossie got his evo from there, and their cars are usually very good nick. You can check the stock via drive.com.au - just search via dealers and look for "southern special vehicles" in oakleigh. Speak to mark there, he brings the car in from japan himself. I would also recommend the place I got my car from - but they only import it as per customers request now i think (if you still wanna know, drop me a pm).

Also - keep in mind that if you get a stock skyline, there is a big - HUGE! - chance that you will want to modify it, take it to tracks/deca etc etc. So work out your finances carefully.

[khunjeng]

essentially to get that look off a GTST you will need to spend a few K more on a fibreglass bonnet (cheapest) new 400R front bar and sides...I think they are 400R sides, cant remember. This doesn't include whats going on on the back...spolier, rear bar and pods.

I guess the parts would cost you around 2k (roughly) then fitting and sprey...maybe another 1.5k...

Then u need some wheels...dunno 2k? plus rubber 1k

Lowered springs..not to much, but u need them fitted...maybe 700 all up..

So I guess ur point is u wanna buy this done already...cost to get a stockie looking like that u will need at least 7k (on a gernal guess) not including any engine mods..

[abdi]

thanks for all ur help guys, im planning on going to a SSV 2moro. But i have found a nice stocky at powerroad carsales. but ill check out SSV before i buy it. ill show pics when i buy the car.

Thanx again you'll
