Hey Joe,

Sounds like a decent trade and given he is a mechanic and a family friend you know then he could help you servicing and fixing any problems etc. If you buy it make sure you change oil ever 5,000km religiously!! Personally when I was looking for my skyline I would not consider maroon cause I hate it but if you like the car and it certainly sounds immaculate then buy it. In terms of mods if you know the driver and the person that did all the mods and the person that drives the car its much better piece of mind. If you did get a stock standard one and got all those mods bit by bit it would cost you a lot!!!

That's a pretty nice price, and the mods sound quite tasteful... you should be very happy. I was driving behind a R33 GTS-T yesterday on the GOR cruise for a couple 'o hundred km, and it's a damn nice car. I definitely can't keep up when it's floored... I'll catch up eventually though when other traffic holds em up

Also, thanks for the link cheez, I hadn't seen that one before, looks ace! So much to read....

Well...ended up no good anywayz! Went and had a good thorough look at the car today in the sun on a very nice and clear day...! I was there for about a good hour or so and there were several things I managed to pick that turned me off it...now I mean there is no way im gonna get an absolute perfect one I know that but this was no good. I mean it had the liitle few pissy things that were replaceable and wasy to fix and return back to original but there were a few things that just werent right...firstly it was a 94 not a 95 which had me on the negative side first off...i originally wanted a 96 and I was gonna settle for this 95...but its now a 94. I found out that it has been in a minor prang on the left hand front...on closer inspection i noticed that the bottom of the guard didnt line up properly...has a look underneath to see why and noticed a lot of sticky tar covering up whatever was under there...the guard rail was majorly pushed in due to someone jacking it up in the wrong point...! so then I was like...yuck...! the repair looked ok from what I could see but i mean...I can only see so much...under the bonnent...the way in which the cooler was mounted...a hole had been cut through the firewall which would have been ok if done properly except he'd or whoever done it clearly made a mistake and cut a massive ugly un even hole in it...not only in one place...but two...this majorly turned me off...few other things I picked around it just voided the deal and I was like...no way...even though it went like a bullet and motor seemed fine...there was no way i was gonna settle for this just because I could get it...so yeah...the hunt continues...I have seen only one immaculate one so far ('96 II just like I want) so i think im just gonna have to go back and try and crunch him on the price some more...so yeah...oh well...just hangin in a bit longer.

you might possibly be a little to picky dude, the holes your talking about do you mean the holes for the cooler are funny looking if so they wouldnt be in the firewall, or if they are holes there probably from factory that have had inserts fall out, or possibly aircon holes if its been removed. for a 10plus year old car its never going to be perfect and you have to be prepared to pay more for a decent one, if i was you id buy a standard one so you no that when mods are done you fully understand them. plus a 33 skyline has alot more balls than a v6 commy. or be a real man and get a ceffy AHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[Psssttt]

nah these were no standard holes...they were cut by him and very big and ungly and not needed...I definetly wasnt picky this one was no good...

Ive done the same thing as you. Gone from a commodore to a Skyline. Except I have an R32 & previously I owned a manual Gen III.

Theres nothing scary about them with mods if you have common sense. The only time it can get a little shakey is in the wet, and you get use to that anyway. I only have a front mount, pod, exhaust & running around 9psi. Its no rocket ship but it does the job. It also has mad Tein suspension set up and it holds to the road like nothing else

Make sure you buy the right one. I saw plenty I liked but ended up buying mine, even though there were a couple of little things to fix (hole in dash = $30 off a guy wrecking his 32 for a perfect one, still got a rip in the drivers seat = retrim anyway )

Just depends what you want. If you want a stock one, then hold out. You wont be very satisfied with the performance though. Other side of it is you know whats been done and you can see the improvement of your modifications.

I wouldnt be scared of buying a modified one, just check it out and see if it looks legit. Ive been extremely happy with mine, and would never go back to my previous cars as opposed to the 32.
