Really? I know he's in Victoria but give Phill at Tokyo Prestige an email and see what he can do for you.

Were you after a mostly stock 2 door Turbo manual? Coz when i got mine he said for a turbo manual coupe i'd be looking at around 14k. I only had 10 to play with so I opted for a 4 door, Turbo with an auto but have since changed it to manual for 900 bux :)

Alright thanks for that, will check that place out!

Yes, mostly stock 2 door turbo manual series 2 in black (GTT). pretty specific...and perhaps that's what is driving my price up! I'd pay around 14k depending on what has been done to the car (or not done), but definitely setting a limit to nothing higher than that.

You are going to struggle to find a series 2 for 15k, when I was looking there were 6 for sale in the country.

I bought mine for 18k in July & that was one straight off the boat from an importer in Sydney.

You will be able to buy a series 1 privately for that sort of money for sure.

Black and blue series 2 are rare finds

Most are white, yellow , red

Good luck finding a series 2 in good nick , lower km for under 18-20k the prices are sliding up a bit now for good examples

I ordered a black one for the wiff ( ex now.lol) but it was destroyed in the container shipment

The series 2 is a more refined car with some decent options , the biggest drawback is the ghey front bar and the huge pissweak wing on some

dont take off the wing that makes them look boring like a camry lol

Gtr wing , jun tall stands , carbon blade , led modified 3rd light embedded in the wing looks nice :-) but I'm partial haha

yeah i've realised that (though it's definitely possible). the real question is what makes the S2s worth the few grand extra? the answer is...not much

It really is not worth it. I loved my series 1 just as much as I love this one. The only reason I wanted a series 2 is because my series 1 got stolen & I didnt want to buy the exact same car, i wanted something a little newer & a little different so the series 2 was perfect.

Troy, how did it get destroyed and how did you fix it?!? that's kind of ridiculous...

The container tipped on its side on the ship, smashing the side front to rear , I never accepted it and had a white one on order after hearing the news , the white one had more options but cost about 6k more lol

just a pain in paperwork and time from japan

The wiff left after ordering it so she kept the r31

I sold my RZ tt supra and kept the skyline

wow man, car got screwed and so did you (in more ways than one)! sucks. never thought about that when importing though...totally didn't factor in the sea conditions HAHA!

Didn't cost me a thing just hassle , you must insure it for transit if your smart

Worked out the white one was much better anyway

Redbook is pointless unless your car is traded into dealer or wrecked , some car loan companies base that on loan value , but skylines will pull what ever the market bears and condition

That is wholesale prices in most cases

I actually wanted mine in Yellow but the yellow ones with same specs as mine were 2k more as it was supposed to be rare, so i settled for blue pearl.

After owning a series 2 for 6 months & starring at the boost gauge every time I drive the car I have only just noticed the series 2 boost gauge does not read in KG/CM2.

It reads in KPA

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
