Hello

Been lurking this forum for a few months now, seems to be a wealth of info in regards of these cars which has been helpful.

As the title says I'm about to purchase a Skyline 350GT (if all goes to plan) pick it up this coming Friday and can't wait! Bit about me I recently came back from living in London for 5 years, got a job in Sydney and whilst I live pretty close to work I realised I needed a car. Have only owned 2 previous cars beforehand - 1984 Holden Astra (lol) and then upgraded to a new Lexus IS200 back in 2003. Loved the Lexus but now wanted something a little sporty and with a bit of grunt. Had a budget of $15-20,000 and carsales kept on coming up with these cars.

Whilst I kept on test driving other cars nothing really grabbed me. The second hand car market in Oz is woeful, Euro's here are so overpriced its not funny and could only find ones that had their day. Hyundia's and kia's were boring and Toyota's.... don't even go there. So I found one in Brissie, got a glowing RACQ report and have purchased it. Go back up this Friday and should be a fun drive down.

Thanks for reading my boring story haha

Its only a grey auto model so it won't wow anyone here but damn these cars are attractive and I think value for money.

One question though, anyone know of a decent mechanic who services these cars in the north shore area?

    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
    • I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that. 
    • You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
