Gt Worth It?

[Carbon 34]

LS400 likely isn't legal. V8. If they were, I would've suggested it, I loved my old Celsior, shit was awesome.

Hence my suggestion of a GS300.

But it really sounds like he's made up his mind.

Go buy a 34 GT, cover it in stickers, put some shit wheels on it, and make some noise about a supercharger conversion in a couple years time.

do i sense some sarcasm dave..lol (I was waiting for the goldfish pond addition )

action plan

1. get a skyline,
2. get defected 4 times in as many months,P's are magnetic to red and blue lights on any car let alone a skyline
3. get it stolen, forget to put in alarm,
4. get .....oops...forgot .. insurance , couldnt afford it..
5. kiss your 10k good bye. and the money to regency is just a bonus ass rape without vasolene ......only legal in the eyes of the state.. they are doing a public sevice keeping the roads and cars safe from JDM...lol
6. thank you come again

its a twisted kinda a love affair in a way (love my skyline), aurgue about it (police/regency... but it was legal), then break up affair( found burned out ) start again with a new one(repeat proceess after loosiing a bunch of money)

so I'd wait a few years , end of the world next year anyway..lol buy 10k worth of booze and women instead for the end of world party

really I do love the car but if I was on P's in the nannystate I'd think twice

welcome to the SAU fourms..

But it really sounds like he's made up his mind.

^^ As I said earlier

Let's just help him find a good n/a & mod it up etc, would still be fast.

Take a look at Luke's, his ENR34 will have 450rwkw, who says n/a is gutless

[scandyflick]

It'll also have 2 turbos and a stroker motor...

If it ever sees the light of day

Bout as likely as me being knighted.

How'd u guys know?? Doesnt matter anyway I wont be attracting any attention from cops or thieves after I'm finished with it anyway: just paint it light metallic green, 20 inch chromies, white tribal vinyl on the sides and some white racing stipes

But seriously I've had it RAA checked and it's come up with a few things, was wondering if you guys could help me out by telling me how much these things will cost remembering I'll have to pay for labour.. Also any ideas where to get the best prices.. I've looked it up and estimated what I think the prices will be

Left front radius bush is leaking ($300)

Front and Rear shock absorber dust boots are worn out ($240)

Wear evident to left front tie rod joint. Also tie rod and ball joint and dust boots are worn out

Oil leaks to either; rocker cover, cam seals, crank seals and head gasket

Rear brake pads ($300)

Front and rear disc rotors are glazed ($300)

Drive belts

Passnege window and passenger side mirror broken

Cheers guys

Just checking, you are kidding, right?

On a more serious note, I doubt the headgasket would be leaking, would probably be the valve cover gaskets, they always seem to leak on RB's lol.

Rear brake pads don't cost $300.

Its all pretty minor IMO, what makes him say it needs drive belts?

Edit: Do a full '100,000km' service and that will fix up the cam and crank seals, and the timing belt (which he may have reffered to as a drive belt if he was old, lol)

Edit Edit: PM RubyRS4 on here, he would be able to do most, if not all, of that stuff.

[jovens9]

Haha nah mate u kno it'd look mad hahaha.... Prob b the best skyline in SA don't you rekon?

Yeh he was fairly old so prob what he was meaning... Alright yeh I have to get a full service anyway so sounds good.

How much do u think the brake pads will cost? Because i was looking up one that were from GTTs n they were $300.. Yeh the bloke said it was all minor but I have to get brake pads and fix the radius bush, dust boots and tie rods don't i? Tbh ive got no idea wat tie rods are anyway lol..?

So all up roughly how much do u think it might all take to fix? And what would u pay for the car.. 130k on it.. Gotta buy new tyres ( buying mags anyway) and about $800 painting i have to spend on it

Cheers mate

[dark.sky]

Do you know if it had the 100,000km service done?

Does it have a timing belt sticker in the engine bay, or any kind of documentation?

[jovens9]

Not sure mate I've got to ask him about the service history today... And ill ask about the sticker or documentation, whats that going to show? How long since it was replaced?
