My New Car - Finally! :)

[Deluxe]

Very nice and clean has an aggressive look to it but I have to recommend Car Toys to clean up the headlights, get rid of that 33 foggy headlight thing

Congrats on the purchase and Hi Tech dyno is a quality workshop John really knows skylines and how to treat them good luck with it

Thanks for the comments guys

Madaz: I'm very aware it's defectable, but fingers crossed as I try to stay out of trouble

TuffR32: Any idea for Car toys to do the headlight clean?

Hey lads, I don't know if your aware but there is a cleaning product out there from Maguires called "Plastic Polish"........ This product works really well, I have some if you really want to borrow it!!! i'd hate to think how much Car Toys is slugging you for prob a similar treatment.......LOL

Heard a story once about this 33 owner that went into a wrecker who had some clean as headlights, this person wanted to buy them because his were foggy!!! The wrecker said yeh no worries, give us yours and $300 and they are yours............ The wrecker guy turned around and started polishing the foggy ones......... 5-10 min later he puts them on the shelf for the same price as the good ones......LOL I found that to be rather amusing!

um this is the oldest thing with a skyline along with the clicking from the a/c lol. You can use tooth paste, i use brasso, also i think cut and polish works.......

[Madaz]

yeah i use brasso also and about 20 min of my time and a bond cottons white shirt

I don't know about you dan but my air con dont click... must be a s1 owner common thing?

It's more like that, and the f**ken power windows.

[KISIN]

Any plastic polish works great ! You just have to sit there rubbing and polishing it for a whiileeeeee if u want it to be perfect. (depending on the current "foggyness")

Nah your just one of the lucky few....check out general maintenance or diy and search a/c you will learn lol

[Evans32]

WOW I no the guy you bought it off, im a good friend of his. This is an exellent car that you have got, he took me for a drive a month ago and its great i wish i had it.

Have fun with it :-) Can i ask how much you paid for it in the end????

cheerz

[r31turbo]

[Hotwire]

Evans32: Yeah it was Simon I bought it off. Good guy, made the sale pretty easy. Price is between me and Simon, if he chooses to tell you, its up to him

Tim: Absolutely! Im not sure when but we'll need to get together.

[Madaz]

sifnt share with us how much you paid

do you feel you paid too much but liked the car anyways

[Hotwire]

Haha, no I dont think I paid too much. I dont think I got a bargain either, I believe I just paid market price. ahh to hell with it.

$15k even is what I paid. I was happy with the price with what the car came with. I could've imported one for cheaper, but felt more comfortable buying locally.

[Deluxe]

Nah dude 15k is all good, Like you said it's about what they are worth anyways! Nice one mate, will be good to see another one out on the cruises!

[Pauly33GTS-t]

15 k is good price.

[Madaz]

yeah i think its a great price ive had mine little over 15 months and paid 21.5k with only pod front mount and some ghey manual boost controler with ive taken out for a turbotech one

ive just bought coilovers now will install them on sat. morning.

mine is the same year as yours but had about 123,000Km on the clock

so all in all i think you've found a good but because apart from new turbo you've pretty much got it all

[andz]

yup buying locally is good

least u get to see the car in flesh, test drive etc

[Evil34]

I know someone that paid $17,000 for a non turbo from a car yard.

[R33LIN]

yeah mate, 15k is a good price

though as long as your happy with it then its all good!
