G'day gents,

Andy from Victoria here, recently bought an '89 R31 Ti. Runs great and everything, great on the outside, but the interior is bordering on disgraceful. There are quite a few cosmetic and maintenance things I'd like to get done for it.

- Caps missing for power window switches on the driver side

- Broken sunroof seals!! (this one is urgent, the sunroof is ASC)

- Caps for door locks are loose/missing

- Roof light switch is broken (I'm told a ball bearing is missing?)

- New dashboard lightglobes (current ones are so weak it's not funny)

- There's a STOP TAIL light in the middle lights display that lights up whenever I brake while the low-power lights are switched on or whenever I accelerate really hard, is this normal, or a wiring problem by a mechanic?

- There's a creaking/clicking noise everytime I turn the steering wheel slightly to the left (this isn't the several loud clicks you get when you turn the wheel 360 degrees, it's a quieter, more annoying version of that)

I have absolutely no clue about cars or repairs (this is my first), does anybody know any Nissan/Skyline specialists in the eastern area who can do this?

Thanks in advance!

      You're 20 years too late mate. Used to be 80% skylines back in team trackday days

      At SMSP, I mainly see Hondas, M cars, A90 Supras and of course, plenty of Evos. Have not seen a single R32 ro R34 Skyline on the night sessions that I've been to. That's really saying something.

      I like mine. Much better than stock. Like i said before the reverse/parking cameras look even worse than normal, still useable. When you buy one make sure it's the latest version. Heaps of cheap ones that run the old hardware and software. Got mine from AliExpress. Mine is quick no lag, boots up 1-2 sec. Menu is fast. Netflix is fine and so is YouTube. Android Auto is random taking 3sec to 15sec. Most of the time it's quick. Very rare it doesn't connect. But that could be a phone thing.   Now I think they use a Pixel 3XL to run this whole thing which i guess is fine, but the problem is that some apps will not work on old hardware like Disney Plus  Maybe Prime Video too 🤔. they will not update. Iv'e tried getting the APK Disney + but i still couldn't get it working. I have a Data sim installed so i have internet all the time. You can't Hotspot off your phone and connect Android Auto at the same time. Not that you need too, if you want you can hotspot off your phone and run any internet map app (google maps) and you can run the Spotify app on it's own (the app runs better than android auto) You can still access the INFINITI intouch system for all the o.g stuff    P.S i got new non Polarization Sunglasses too 😎

      I also don't mean to rain on your parade. But with a 5-10k budget for road only? I'd want to check confirmation that everything IS working correctly and I'm with @GTSBoy for a plan of action here. I'd be checking subframes, bushes, exhaust hangers, interior bits and generally QOL things and CONFIRMING they are working right before thinking about motor. You can get 250KW+ on stock RB26 hardware by simply removing the built in restrictors and tuning the stock ECU. If you want purity that's as far to take it, which I would be worried to do and won't think the budget would allow for when earnestly checking for 30+ year old car stuff.
