WANTED: Skyline for $8000 fully complied and with RWC


Recommended Posts

Hey i am looking at buying a car in june. ill have 8k max too spend on the car itself with a furthur 2k for insurance and rego. Any suggestions on where to look? p.s. im not interested in importing, its to risky with such a low bank, and by the time its totally onroad and rego'd and insured it will be more than 10k. R32 or R33 prefered. MUST BE SKYLINE not pulsar or silvia or 180sx or anything. Thanx in advance for any help given :rofl:

You will probably get a few guys on here replying mate

That isnt huge money for one of these cars, I got rid of my uncomplied import for that kind of money and it needed a bit of work plus I needed to get rid of it.

Have a look on carsales.com.au and carpoint.com.au and tradingpost.com.au for some ballpark figures.

Another tip though, whatever your budget for insurance and the car, remember these cars need maintaining and things do go wrong with them so build that in too.

HTH

i have a

1989 Nissan skyline R32 GTS type S four door sedan

Only 90,000 klms

5 speed Manual

complianced and registered and in good condition.

you can have it for 9k if your interested

theres an automatic skyline, 1994, wine, with sunroof, exhaust and wheels. Very low km's and in good nick. A mate is importing it down, and will be here around 1st-2nd week of march.

He wants 14K for it, but he might go down to 12,500. Complianced.

$8k? you wont get much for that! you want a decent skyline for 8k i'd also say get a modded r31! or you could always go and get a non turbo r32........but even then, it would probably be clapped out!

If you really want a skyline for 8K. You can fly upto Japan and buy one for around 5K. What you wanna do with it after that is upto you. But you save yourself 3K on the car anyway :rofl:

yeh but mate getting it complied costs like 1200...then theres import costs.....and stamp duty..watever that is...plus numerous other costs...u are looking at 11k by the time its on road and rgo'd and everything....11k could get u a better R33.

baby skyline where do u live....why are u selling....and im sorry all i have is 8k

ohh and whoever made the diecast model car call..LMAo...LOL hAhaHAhah. nice one :rofl:

you can get them close to that cheap.

if you will take an auto you will get it that cheap.

I got mine (well will be) for under $10,000 and it was a grade 4.....so if you take a grade 3 or sumpin you would have to go *close* to your mark.....if u take a grade 3 and auto u will make it

I went thru http://www.allinoneimports.com.au not sure if they have gone up since the rule change, but check it out.

Mate, if you think you can get a R33 for 11K, then go for it. Also let us know where we can get them for that price. I will start a car yard if i got R33's for that price:)

Unless they are 4 door, Automatic, Non Turbo and have 250,000km's on the dash:)

i would like to start by saying allblitz you must be the biggest retard in the world if you dont think you can get an r33 into the country and registered for under 11k, i have imported 3 r33 gtr's for under 14 and i think that is still too much for a 33 (worst looking and performing skyline ever) anyway i have a hr31 gt passage for sale in that price range also i may have a couple of 32's for that price. once again allblitz learn about skylines before you try talking it up you sound like a dumbass you have obviously never seen how cheap they are overseas

    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.
