Hi guys,

Is it worth to keep a skyline 93 Auto GTST?The 93 Auto skyline i just bought need to replace brake n suspension which cost me like first time major service ($XXXX) Fee. Please give me some opinion whether it is high maintainance car or not. I mean i just treat it like a normal car use. But just becoz it is 93 model, a bit worry how much it will cost me the next few years.THX Guys.

It will cost less than your English lessons... Every car breaks down, the problem you will have is that you will not be able to sell it broken, and even repaired the money you can sell it for will not get back the money you spend fixing it, and what you paid. Did you have the car inspected before you bought it? The GTST should not be any worse than most cars of that age, so even if you do sell it and get something else you will have the same problems. I would repair it and just keep some money aside for ongoing maintenance

Your skyline is like any other car on the road mate, just fix it ! Brake and suspension is not something major.

every car have to get that fix during it's lifetime.

you cant buy a 17 year old car and not have any problems with it. cars are dirty money pits. and everyone knows dirty money pits get the bitches.

dude you had a thread about this the other day. why are you asking the exact same question again?

Because maybe if he keeps asking the same question he'll get a different answer... :dry:

The best thing to do is just ignore the problems and they'll go away by themselves. Cars fix themselves ALL THE TIME... Frankly I'm surprised yours has taken this long, that's just lazy. Maybe if you yell at it?

Good luck.

    • Best practice for any track day should be Bleed brake fluid, inspect rotors and pads maybe even flip pads if they are prone to tapering.  Quality pad (project mu, endless, hawk, winmax, ap), Good high carbon content rotor (dba4000/5000, Ap, projectmu), Quality fluid, Good air supply over the rotor and caliper are all required for best performance at a track day no matter the car.  Even the bedding in of the pad and rotor is key to longevity. I've seen so many rotors destroyed on their first track day due to it. 
    • The hardcore tracks1ut guys I know would flush their brake fluid every 6 to 12 months depending on the amount of track work they did. Unlike most of us SAU guys, probably flush it once a decade 🥲
    • Now that these are NLA, I suspect the answer is going to be to 3D print the plastic bit and glue on some felt or something to replace the brush. I have one or two of them (new) in the shed to go onto the car at some point. I could put some effort into measuring them up and could attempt to draw up the printed part in FreeCAD, if there is interest.
    • Hey team, the R32 ones look different to the R33 and 200SX ones. Also they're sold out on Amayama, looks like some dealer cleaned up the stock.
