Haven't bought it yet... the guy's woeful grasp of English still haunts me

Yeah wait until you order and see how many emails you receive from him and how they are all set out and spelt, it's CRAZY!!!

However you saw the product and it's the best I've bought from anywhere

I look forward to taking one for a drive. I wouldn't be surprised if one ends up being my next car. What colour did you get?

It's funny I always hear from Skyline owners how long it takes for them to sell their car. Many of them told me not to sell it because it would take so long and have my time wasted by so many people. I sold mine in a month and got a good price :)

WRC Blue Mica - the Subaru exclusive colour (the Toyota twins exclusive colour is Orange.) IMO the best colour of the lot, I wasn't set on any other colours.

Re: my Skyline, it was hard for a number of reasons;

*Auto

*Turbo

*4 Door

*Highish (but genuine) km's

Limited my market considerably because most people want manual coupes with 'low kms' and a P Plater can't drive turbo. The first person to come and see it (after 4.5 months for sale) just lowballed me even though the car was as described and they had nothing to pick on. Second person brought all his mates, I let him test drive and he bought it. It was a good car, it just had to sell eventually. Frustrating thing was having 3x regos and 3x comprehensive insurances at once...

So the Roady passed everything...

But the guard lining?

Umm wtf?! He said just get the guard liners put in and he'll pass it. And he'll do the next Roady free?

Why wouldn't u just pass it? Lol

I think so, he said the only reason it's all passed is because its extremely neat and very well hidden ie gate and big turbo.

But for guard lining? Man it's such a waste of time, and one lining is $70

Negz, done a few front guards and kept the lining. Tony's one, jonoes two.. And a few others from the BMW forums aswell. And I got my linig back in too, just lost the passenger side so I have to source a new/used one

Indeed it is, I had it pointed out to me too.

Good to know you can keep r34 ones... I may be a future potential client... maybe. xD.

Other costs coming up such as major ~_~

More so on ours as there's wires that run along the top rail and apparently "if the tyre pops and shreds the steel lining can rip through those wires"

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
