Hey All

Unfortunaelty for me, due to recently purchsing a house, it has come time for me to give up my Skyline. I've owned this car for 2.5 years and i have to say it has been the most reliable car i have ever owned, i service the car every 5000k's religiously (Oil and filter) and maintain everything else as it should be: Timing belt, tensioner/idler, cam seals, crank seals, water pump @ 175,000, Gearbox oil every 15,000, diff oil done recently.

This car is daily driven and i do close on 1000k's per fortnight driving it, hence the body has some wear and tear: Door got opened on the front right quarter panel, slight dent. Rear right hand side, dent from inside of boot, right at the top of the rear pod, paint chipped off (bout 5c piece size). And only last week - rear left hand side bumper, looks like someone hit it reversing out of a park :D , slight dent to rear quarter, nice scrape mark (mostly polished out) and the rear bar is slightly cracked (bout 3cm long). Front bar, lower section where intercooler pipe goes, scrape marks from high parking cerb, slightly touched it. Paint on roof drivers side starting to fade in small sections, some clear coat peeling. I can provide anyone with photo's of these imperfections if they would like to see it.

Apart from that though the car feels in good mechanical condition, engine feels strong still, idles fine, pulls really well. The aim with the mods was to be a fast, responsive street car. Handles very well and the suspension is not uncomfortable for daily use, not to hard but not to soft.

Would suit someone into 'spirited drives' so to speak :) or someone looking for a drifter to add a few things to and go for broke on the track.

Car is booked in next week to get a brand new full set of tyres (Nankangs) so buyer will not have to worry about tyres for a while to come yet.

$11,000 but very willing to negotiate for a quick sale, no stupid offers and if i was looking for a trade of any sort it wold be a very late 90's or early 00's Pulsar, manual hatchback or a corolla of similar specs, but no silvia's, 180s (already got one) or other turbo cars. Basically anything Jap built that doesn't chew fuel, plus depending on age of car and condition, cash my way.

Feel free to contact me if your interested : Adam 0437 247 735

      My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.
