why was the re car resprayed? why was it rebuilt?

why the new front bar? ask yourself this. If you are still keen, ask him/her this.

Looks to be the type of car that gets molested often, but then again, most skylines look like that. i do personally know of one thats super clean, driven like its a dihatsu and is always garaged thats possibly for sale. Its my bosses wifes car. 33 gts-t M spec with 17x8 and 17x9.5's. standard EVERYTHING else. pm me for more info :)

Cheers, Allan

The White one...

Just cooz I personally like the look of a Series 2 over a Series 1 but is your call...

im with this guy, the red one looks too....well....different. im always weary of a car that has been sprayed, patched or "refreshed". not always a bad thing, but are you willing to spend your money to find out??

Mmm yeah I understand, well really I want to be able to get in the car and drive it without having to fix anything or have to worry about things constantly

Get both checked out, your comparing a 94 200000+km car with a 98 120000km car. The obvious choice is the 98 looks clean, newer car, less kms. As I said get it checked out by. Decent workshop. Also think resale, Newer car with less kms will always sell quicker over a modded older model with more kms

The rebuilt one is tempting, IF it was done by a workshop I know and trust, there is more value there. That said the white one does have some nice high quality parts has recently had the expensive services done.

Hmm bit of a toss up for me but I would probably go for the red one as it has some big ticket items that the white one does not, Ie the rebuild, the turbo and the computer which would cost you many thousands of dollars to buy and install

I personally would be going for the 1998 40th Anniversary Edition. Going by the description (and the photos) it appears the owner has spared no expense at maintaining the car to a reliable standard. The owner has used quality parts for most upgrades and just having done a major timing belt service, new coil, plugs etc... suggests to me they have taking great pride in their car.

The red one looks nice, very presentable underbonnet layout and has quite a few mods done to it. With what's been installed, it would more than likely be possible to get it tuned for a higher kw output. That being said like others have pointed out, why the rebuild? And I recall seeing this car on here, would be curious to know why the owner would spend $Xxxx on a full re-build then sell it... I think you'd receive more attention from the boys in blue with the red one.

Ultimately it comes down to what YOU are after...

Personally:

1998 - Clean looking, quality parts, well maintained, room for upgrades, newer model and (if genuine) less kms

1994 - Presented nicely for show, possibility of increasing power with additional tune, most mods (including wheels and body kit already done.

Make sure you check log books and service history for both vehicles, and if you can, do a revs check to make sure everythings in order.

My two cents.

I agree that the red one looks like a cop magnet. And when they get you to open that bonnet and see all the blue and all the shiny... whooooo boy... hope you got a spare 15mins or so while they go through everything, then probably defect you for the boost controller.

...bastards :(

I would go for the 1998... The only thing that would make the red one more of a cop magnet would be no wing imo...

With all the shiny shit under the bonnet I wouldn't want to drive it around too often lol

From my experience once an engine has been opened that's when the problems start...I'd steer clear of the red one

The white one looks clean and tastefully modified with quality parts, that would be my pick

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
