well this is gonna be the car i keep for a few years before i purchase a r35 gtr. :)

Car is fantastic mate. For a stocker it pulls very well. very smooth to drive.

I pick it up by the end of week. For now i was just after a clean, newish car that goes quite well :rant:

Heyy why is it that when I posted my 'which new car thread?' a month ago I was ostracized for considering the xr6t? they are an excellent car, we should be proud and feel lucky we have access to something like this on the local car market.

Obviously not a corners car, but last time i checked nissan where not currently offering any kind of NEW rear wheel drive package with boost for under $60k.. or even $150k for that matter :)

congrats on the sale,

am i able to ask what you got for the gtr? sometimes i think about selling mine!

Congrats; I'm also interested to know how much you sold her for (and how long you had it on the market). Clearly the market for Skylines (and virtually all cars) is pretty poor at the moment, and it's a shame the sale price of these cars (particularly GTRs) often doesn't reflect the condition and potential of the vehicles.

GL with the XR6.

    • 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
