Yeah,

I saw it - Too highly modified for my liking - Plus is was a 94 -- I'm after a 96. I get nervous when looking at a real highly modified car - Compliance, RTA, etc - Might cost an arm and a leg to get through these processes.

Plus, (sorry to all those who like white, BUT white is last on my list !! ) I know 60% of skylines are white, but I heaps prefer Silver or Black, even Gunmetal!

It's up to personal preference really - I would never knock a white skyline - cause after all, it is a skyline !!!!

If someone realiable and trustworthy were to tell me that that white '94 would (guaranteed) get thu Compliance, RTA etc without spending extra $$$, I might have gon for it (if it were Silver) -

Anyway, it was a farkin nice car !!

Cheers,

BF

You'd probrably be better off getting a nice stock one with lowish kays... coz if it's modified - most of the time it's been thrashed hard.... which is why most modified cars coming over here from japan are cheaper than u'd expect.

Brendan, it would cost you no more than having a 96' spec 2 complied. Most of the modifications to meet ADR's are standard for specific makes, and therefor the cost is the same.

Although it did have quite a few aftermarket items, this can be taken care of in a few hours before you go for your blue slip and third tier inspection ..... it's only the visable items they'll pick up on, hey I managed to hide my turbo timer and boost controller which live in my ash tray, just by putting the front cover of the ash tray back on with some blue tac !

Things like gauges you can take off, BOV's you can tighten, POD's (mine didn't get picked up ?), hide any wiring for aftermarket items behind the dash, borrow a set of swap rims off a nice person in the forums and your set to go .....

Jim, Ryan,

I see both your points - each has it's pro's and con's - Having thought about it some more, I don't want/need to have heaps of mods - I don't plan breaking the world speed record - I just want a nice clean skyline that looks good, goed good and sounds good. So I think something in the middle of a stocker and a majorly modified car.

If I can pick up something that has a few mods - like wheels, suspension , zorst, pod, BOV - Then I don't have to pay for that stuff when I get it over - Cause I know I will end up modding it anyway !!

    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
    • So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting 
    • Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.
