How much was the car?

well i got it from a car import yard so it cost abit more than private importing, and i had it checked to see if it was wound back by them no scratches not any thing wrong at all with it either, it was at $21,500 but got it down to $19,000 on roads and all, surprisingly the skyline is cheaper to insure with justcar insurance than a Honda civic... with justcar,. wat the hell is the go there, the civic was $1600 a year and this is $1200

Congrats on the new car matey...I'm sure you'll get many years driving pleasure from it.

All you need now is a body kit... I suggest you get a TRUST GT-R front bar, Nismo Side Skirts, GT-R pods for the back (no need for new bar) and chuck a Jun R33 Wing on... fork out like another $3,500 and all of the above plus some extra goodies will be on your way.

Good luck... looks very clean.

Yeah JustCar's the best, I got only 3rd Party for $400.

I think the only other insurance company to insure skylines are either commbank or NRMA.

I got quoted like $2500 by one of them for comprehensive.

I was like yeah, I'm going to pay that ... cya later.

and this was for my 96 S2 which I bought for $10,500 :D

Your car looks wicked mate, i agree with Spunky Monkey with the Body kit. but still, it looks good :blush:

Thats an awesomely clean series 2 you have their mate. I disagree with the other guys and recommend that you leave the factory kit as is. All it needs is to be lowered a little with coilovers or the Sydneykid Bilstein group buy and it will look tops and handle better too.

Aftermarket bodykits look rice and attract cops. Enjoy the car mate, they are great fun, just need to do the obligatory bolt on mods and you will have a car that will put a continuing smile on your dial :)

You've got a Nismo factory option grille :thumbs:

I agree with swink, leave the factory kit.... lower it perhaps, see Sydneykids R33 Bilstein groupbuy in the for sale section.

and Maybe tint the windows cos it's summer you'll wanna save that nice interior :)

      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

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
