I recently found this skyline here. And I went to the bank to get a loan. The girl basically put her pen down when I said I was 17.

Do cars like these come up often?

If I were in the market in three months, could I expect to find something along the lines of this thing?

This is my first post to; so hello Skylines Australia :] I read the article in Imports, there are some nice Skylines on this board.

Firstly welcome.

Secondly yeah you should be able to find a GT in a few months. They're not as common as falcadores but it's not like they're really hard to find.

Good luck!

If you want to find some around that price with even lower Km's you should keep an eye on Nagoya Motors, that is if your in the Sydney area.

I recently placed a deposit on a skyline just like yours with 91,800KM's on the clock, and it was only $12,900.

They are constantly importing P plate legal R34's and the ones at the $14,900 mark generally have closer to 50,000KM's on them.

From what I hear around this site, Nagoya Motors is generally trusted as not rewinding odometers, anyone who thinks otherwise let me know.

Not always the dealer that do the rewinding, 10-12 year old car (that is likely to be used as a daily in jap land, not llike a NUR GTR) with 50,000km? rarely.

I see what you mean silver, but they do have some very good quality cars, in great condition at Nagoya Motors, I've seen a whole bunch as i've been flying in and out of the place over the last year while I was looking for a good R34. I've also heard around the forum people saying, base your purchase on condition, not KM's, so even if the KM's arent as low as stated, im pretty sure they aren't far off, or have been maintained very well.

All P platers looking for a skyline should take a look at their online showroom, I wont post up a link cause im not too sure about the rules on external linking on SAU, And im not advertising, I REALLY dont have any association with Nagoya Motors other than as a customer =P

Yeah and if your going by the Odometer you will have to fork out for a 100k service in under 10k.. So your first service is going to be $$$$

^^^ Correct, so if you're buying from a dealer; and before you hand over your hard-earned $$, secure a deal from them that the $100kKm service is included in the price - especially obtainable near the end of a calendar month.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
