Bought a passage, selling the R31...

Nolthane lower trailing arms

Now the usual skyline things:

- Auto Transmission still in good nick, was reconditioned b4 I bought the car. Will give you many more years

- Diff center replaced 6 months ago. Still is a bit noisy like them all, but no kickback or other probs

- No oil leaks whatsoever.. yup, none.

- Tailshaft fully rebuilt 3 months ago with all new unis and center bearing.

- Aircon not working. Suspect its just out of gas. All bits are all there, and has been changed to R134 gas. Maybe $100 to get it regassed.

Miscellaneous spiel:

I've riced up the interior to cover up the rather bland GX interior - its either your thing or its not. Can remove most if required.

I've done long trips, short trips and not one problem. No major rust, or large dents. I will admit it's not immaculate, but it makes up for it in terms of reliability. In the last 12 months i have replaced all spark plugs, brake pads, spark plug leads, oil, oil filter, fuel filter, and coolant flush. So you know everything has been looked after and no surprises.

The car makes an *ideal* daily driver, and this is what I've used it for over the last 12 months faultlessly. Economy is still great, 10L/100km highway, ~12L/100km city using regular unleaded.

This car is no rocket, but handles quite well, and can surprise a few commos, and much newer cars off the mark due to the smooth auto and tight diff ratio.

If you want more pix, can supply.. or any other info I can let you know. I'll probably regret selling this being so reliable

Asking $2200 with rego until 29/3/05, and safety cert included.. or $1900 "as is" (will need minor roadworthy items).

SOLD ..such a great car - u all missed out on the best daily driver ever

bumpo - its got new rear tyres on it now.. rear brake pads will be changed for safety cert.. fronts done 6 months ago. discs, shocks, springs still in EC..

all you are going to have to do for this one in the next 12 months is change the oil, and pay for rego.. everything else has been done..
