Price drop to $11,900 - this is negotiable! Make me an offer!

Well, the time has come to part with my first car. I'll be sad to see her go, as she's looked after me well. But I barely even need one car now, let alone two, so I've got to let her go :) I've always driven this car sensibly, and it's never given me any trouble. Everyone who sees it comments on the overall excellent condition. I recently took it on a cruise to Melbourne and back and had the cruise control fitted specially for the trip. (See here for my trip comments.) Loved every minute of the drive, got excellent fuel economy, and would love to do another trip, but I've got to resist the urge to keep it and just sell it!

Dropped the price by $1000! Don't forget, that's my starting price - feel free to haggle! :P

Come on guys, surely someone wants a nice stock, clean, reliable Skyline?

Just dropped the price by *another* $2000... this is now one of the cheapest series 2 GTS-T's around!

Don't forget you have some nice extra's like:

Cruise control - professionally fitted, converted to "electronic" type so won't become uncalibrated

Top of the line Rhino 3-point immobiliser and alarm with backup battery, comes with 2 keypads and keyless entry

Sunroof

Full set of genuine Skyline mats

Genuine K&N panel filter

Rear strut brace (looks to be factory)

Electronic boost gauge mounted in A pod pillar

Turbo Timer

This car is absolutely beautiful to drive, caused me NO troubles whatsoever, always well maintained, allowed to warm up and cool down properly. DOES NOT attract cops!!

Don't forget, I'm willing to negotiate - I need to get rid of this thing! Come on guys!

Hi Ben,

I'm keeping my eye on this. I'm currently driving a Subaru Impreza GX MY03 and I'd like to add this Skyline to my collection.

I'm your average underpaid IT Consultant so I can't make any offers as yet...

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
