Hi all,

I am in a position to purchase a stock standard (Exhaust and Wheels ok) Skyline. Here are my must have's:

  • Must be stock, with the exception of exhaust and mag wheels although I would prefer standard exhaust.
  • Must have less than 100k on the odometer and be able to prove it.
  • Must be manual.
  • Everything else must be stock standard and must have RWC. Whilst I would prefer one with rego I can fix that up.

I don't care too much what colour it is although I am not fond of the grey ones. I would prefer a car with no extra gauges in the cockpit, the standard ones should be fine. An after market cluster is fine but you must be able to prove the K's on it and before it was fitted.

I a have the cash ready to go but am happy to wait for the right car. I will want to test drive first and do all the normal checks (REV's and Car History).

Please PM me with details and photo's. Please include photo's of the interior and engine bay.

I am happy for a discussion in this thread on any prospects.

Cheers,

Richard.

Haha glad you can play along.

Anyways 100,000km on a R33 is very very unlikely

Even if you do find one the chances of someone being able to prove to you its correct are slim.

Just do the usual checks and take it to a place to do a compression check.

All the cyl show around 155-160 then its fine.

Or you could buy a 34 for a good price.

Why do you want a 1997?

I am after a 33 or a 34, just figured a 34 would be out of my price range of around 8 - 12k, preferably closer to the 8k. Also in the GTS-T and GT-T models I prefer the body shape than the 34's. Having said that I would give up my clubby for a r34 GTR. :woot:

Logbooks with < 100 000kms is going to slim to none!

Compression test is much more important than kms on a car i think.

I bought a stock 97 grey skyline only 2 months ago and i payed a premium! (No way its going to cost 8K)

As close as you will get!

There is more to a car than just the motor. Drive train gets affected by the number of k's a car does as well. Gear box wear, diff, bearings etc.

I have seen 97 models for sale at the 8k mark with about 100k on them, some a fraction over (which would be ok) and some a fraction under. I can go higher as well. Like everyone I want the world and don't want to pay anything for it. Not saying I won't. :rolleyes:

Yup, have seen that.

Again with the silver/grey.. Yuk. (Sorry pat). Just not my thing.

My preferential colour is Burgundy.

I have seen a few on carsales with under 100k on the OD at about 9.5 to 10k. I would assume I can get a little off that as well. Like I said in my OP, I am happy to wait for the right car.

Also I like the interior on the 97 r33 as well, the seats look neater than the velvet/velour in the older ones. Just sayin.

      Hello Everyone

      Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
