New To Skylines

[suwidji]

Hey guys,

I'm in the market to buying myself a manual r34 GT-T. It's always been my dream to own a r34, and I am currently saving up now, expecially since i just got my fulls recently meaning i can finally drive a turbo!!

I live in NSW, and i wanted to know pretty much everything there is to buying a skyline. I have heard plenty of things from word of mouth and also by reading a few things on this forum.

I have read that the km's are easy to wind back, but to inspect mostly the condition of the interior of the car and not judge by km's, and i have also tried researching which dealers have a good reputation.

So my questions are:

- WHO has a good reputation for selling imports (r34's mainly)?... i have heard Edward Lee's isn't very good (i read it somewhere on this forum lol)

- HOW do i know if the skyline i am looking at is legitimately in good condition (can i perform engine compression tests by asking NRMA or something?)

-WHAT should i be looking for when buying my r34?

I want a decent quality r34, however my price range is between 14-17k. i'm looking for one that is pretty stock (so i can modify it myself) but it wouldn't hurt to have a few clean mods such as exhaust and body kit.

by the way, im not sure if this topic is supposed to be placed in this part of the forum, so if it's supposed to be somewhere else, please let me know lol.

Thanks guys!
