Yeh I've seen them both on car sales and I'm pretty keen on the 2nd one but his overpriced it a bit for a stock car and won't budge on it. I'm willing to give him 27k for it but not 30k. But I don't have much to choose from in midnight purple GTR's. He did say without the wheels he would sell it for 25k which I'm seriously considering atm.

Yeah, other issue's are you don't know how much they've been flogged or how good a job they've done on any mods done.

I've bought my past 3 R33 direct imports from Japan (all stockys) at least you have the satisfaction you know the history of the car more than buying one here.

There's another Yellow one that just came up on the market. They originally were asking $26,000 but strangely put it up to $29,000.

It's got import paper's apparently http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1995/SSE-AD-3691719/?wt.z_driver=homepage_Recently_Viewed3

The GTR engine's are so expensive it's worth taking time to find a good one.

Goodluck.

Yeh that's always the risk you take buying privately is not knowing how much they have been flogged. I'm gunna go look at that midnight purple GTR this weekend and hopeful we can agree on a reasonable price. I thinking i might get it checked over by my mechanic before I buy it so I have a better idea if the condition the car is in.

How can you know more about the car from japan than locally? Isn't a full mechanical check by a qualified mechanic/skyline specialist suffice?

Because when they are complied the rules are stricter as they have to pass a pretty strict roadworthy

inspection. Plus you can get cars with Japanese history's. The parts in Japan shit over the one's we have here. Eg. A heavily modified Japanese Jun Garage car I'd rate over anything built here. The Japanese have better accessibility too to modified parts that suit these cars.

Sure a good mechanic here can inspect a potential car but lets face it, these car's are flogged.

And next to no one will sell one with a roadworthy certificate , even just the GTST's on the market 80% selling privately owned won't give roadworthys....

Alright I've put a deposit down on a GTR. I sent it off to racepace yesterday for a check over and it came back pretty good and we agreed on 28k with a rwc. Can't wait to pick it up on Saturday!!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
