Hey guys,

Well I got 15K back, as it actually wasn't needed for the deposit....but the car is sold now anyway :@

I am currently looking at one, it's in very good condition, quite, smooth ride, went through the checklist on the "Buying a Skyline - What to look for?" thread, the only thing I noticed was some bolts were scratched on the engine, it was imported New Years last year, owner let me look at the import papers etc.

Here is a pic of the actual engine bay,

You can't see them in the pic, but they are along there.

They aren't worn or anything, the are actually in very good shape, but they have little scratches on them, should I be worried about this, or is it normal?

EDIT:

Also noticed the brakes don't have covers?

Like a "Nissan" or "Skyline" logo on them.

Probably wouldnt be worried as they were probably removed for maintence or to check something. Bolts get damage as soon as they are touched so seeing as its not brand new i would expect it to have had a few bolts removed and refitted. And i cant tell you but i would assume because its the base model??? it has cheapo brakes which generally dont have a tag on them

Thanks for clearing that up :D

It most likely is the base model, in that case there shouldn't be a problem.

    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
    • I could see someone trying this to save money on oil changes.
    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
