lol as if u buy it from car yard.

So thats like saying buying a car from Synegy is pointless???? They are a car yard aren't they?? and don't say because they are a jap import specialist they are ok!!

Maybe if someone knows of the car and it's history then they can post up, instead of saying car yards are shite!!

The guys just joined up with SAU yesterday..... Give him a break! If you want to go flame someone here is the place to do it....... http://www.nissansilvia.com

its 15999 11/95 build 140000kms interior is very good and exterior is great except for th mirrors have faded. has front mount, exhaust, pod(exposed of course) claimed 200rwkw 18"

drives really nice and runs smooth and consistent. susp/steering seems good and tight, engine has no apparent noises when listening under the bonnet and it seems either well tuned or the stock ecu is ok still, if the power figure is true. it would have 3months warranty which i wouldnt get private and i plan on usin ever bit of it i can.

i wonder if i got it dyno'd and it only made 170kw or whatever if i could ge them to mod it so it is what i bougt! lol. the ad does specify the power output after all.

Doesn't sound too bad mate, I wouldn't be looking for much more than that for mine if it were for sale and thats a S2 1996 with the same amount of Kms but has another 20 more Kws! Sounds alright tho, if your unsure of it then maybe ask for less and maybe 6 months warranty, If they won't have that then ask them whats wrong with the car.....lol

Does it have a 400R front and GTR rear wing? If so, be wary!! Redgtst crashed his 33 a few months back and it was an economical write off. May be repaired, so have it inspected whatever you do. if they refuse to allow an inspection, DONT BUY IT!

yeah be careful buying from a car yard, i rushed into mine and it has cost me lots since (its still stock after 3 years as i have spent more money fixing it than i have moding it :D )

if you do buy it from a card yard DON'T BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY!!!!! if the car has any modifications its void as soon as you drive it out the yard.

If an insurance company declare it a write off (economical or otherwise) it can not be registered again in Australia.(the costs make it prohibitive with engineering inspections etc for regency - and it MUST have a FULL regency inspection)

I found this out when I was looking at buying back my car after front end damage. (I would be able to fix it but never register it again) My only alternative was to take it to another repairer who was able to fit some "Reconditioned" parts rather than new from Nissan parts.

guy did you end up with a new car? haven't seen ya around for a while now

My car is nearly finished - I found a repairer that could fix it within the Insurance companies limits.

All I need now is to find a nice front bar (I like the TRUST bars - but finding a good one seems impossible)

i bought my car from a car yard and have been very happy, and i didnt even test drive just heard it run

i think if your gut feeling is telling you its ok then it very well might be

have you tried googling the car yards name because if a yard is shonky people will be talking about it online

defiantly don't pay 800-900bux for that 3 year warranty crap

Well there you go. I was of the understanding that economical write off's were ok to re-register based on the fact that there may not be structural problems, just from an economical viewpoint it wasn't worth their time. Have the laws on this changed in the last few years, or has this always been the case?

Either way, glad you cleared that up for me :)

it has a front bar, dont know what type, looks like sinista's just without the foglights. standard gts-t high rear wing. series 1.5 i believe. i work in insurance and yeah u cant reregister any form of writeoff legally. car yards have legal obligations to guarantee against there being money owing, writeoff rebirths, submerged and stolen vehicles. i'm in the process now of buying it, hopefully it all goes thr, as from talkingtsome mates a work it seems like a good car.

if anyone does know the car ad u can see it on the trading post website at 16999, please let me know. thaks.

for $5k more you can have my 34... :)

As for writeoffs, a friend purchased a WRX from a caryard, later he found out it was an economic wrieoff in NSW, they fixed it, shipped it over here and rego'd it...... It can happen, not sure on the legal grounds.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
