hey bud... you remind me of me.

took me a while to find a quality stocker. i looked at many 32s from carsales, carpoint, and sau. ended up finding one here on sau. the market is f**ked at the moment, so you will be able to pick up something good for cheap.

you can get a workshop or mechanic to check a car that you think is good. i had an engineer who had worked on r32s check 2 cars. first car was a definite no in areas i had no idea about, second car i had him check was a yes and i bought it. Adrian Lovelace: 0418 336 319. He's in SE melb.

Hey ASh

did you own a White Magna with the black rims. If so This is wes the guy you bought the Exhuast of.

THis site is good if you own a Skyline its a wealth of information.

I had such trouble trying to sell my Magna it took me ages and in the end i ended up trading it in for way less than i wanted.

Good luck with the sale and the search for the the skyline

Hey still the same number

i traded mine in at a place called Japcar on Sydney Road Fawkner.

They had some really good car there. But i would suggest selling the Magna and buying one private. You get much more. i paid

14k for a completely stock car it even came with the tape deck. its been good so far except i had to get the bearing changed in the gearbox which was a nightmare cause me and my uncle did it ourselves didnt have the car for about a month

Welcome aboard,

Don't get a stock one, get a modded one but in a good condition then work it the way you want it from there.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
