AlphA Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 I had one guy look at the photos of it " Not hyperdrive" and he told me a few things but the most troubling thing that he said is that its very possible that the car is a chop job.. That explains why about 90% of the parts are from different series skylines.. He has it advertised for $15'000 as a Nissan Skyline Series II GTS-T M-Spec 1996. It has a series one front end, series II rear end, no passenger side airbag and what looks like some re painted pannels. Im not 100% saying its a crap car its just not what he is advertising it for. The front bumper is a series 1 Mspec bumper unpainted, it vibrates HEAPS at 80km per hour.. and looks like about $600 - $1000 to fix that...AT LEAST Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/65086-gts-t-r33-series-i-or-ii/page/3/#findComment-1229161 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjleishman Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hey guys, All i can say is, anyone should jsut keep away from cars like this. Quite apparent from the word go that this car is dodgy (96 plates etc). There are plenty of great quality cheap skylines come up on the market if you are willing to wait (most of them are for sale to get out of debt haha what a suprise). I looked at a 32 last week the guy assured me it was fine. Had an racq check and it didn't turn up any good 200 down the drain. When buying any skyline or car for that matter it is 100% worth having a pre purchase inspection done espiecally with skylines as part often cost a fair bit. Thanks for starting this post Alpha big help for alot of people who might have bought this car.

AlphA Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Cheers, the shocking thing is that he is selling it on THIS FORUM aswell ! ! Have a look at this post: He has messed up because he is using a different excuse for the front damage on the car. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=67795 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/65086-gts-t-r33-series-i-or-ii/page/3/#findComment-1259430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibuckout2 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 sorry guys after all this fuss, the car has been sold, yes the car is a series 2 the vin showed 109900+ made, the brake lines and hoses all had corresponding dates too! yes seats and dash are series 2, steer wheel is series 1, what for no 1 knows, no evidence of a serious accident was found when put on a hoist and no evidence of being car alligned either. i agree the grill is different to most series 2's but some1 might have liked this grill better and put it in for whatever reason, and finally, as with most imports that you get from japan, do you really know the whole and entire story of the car you buy? can you honestly believe the k's are real? or even, as with this car, why would some 1 change small things without any evidence of greater things happening, you nor i have the answer, only the previous owner does Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/65086-gts-t-r33-series-i-or-ii/page/3/#findComment-1265252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibuckout2 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 also guys, car was bought by an import dealer who has brought many cars in from japan, not all skyline but quite a few still, he gave the car the once over and gave it the all clear, except for a uni joint which he said cost about $100, and comparing it to both series 1 and 2 in his lot came up with this, "series 2, some series 1 parts, but definitely not a series 1" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/65086-gts-t-r33-series-i-or-ii/page/3/#findComment-1265268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphA Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Series 1.5 id say. How come you told me that you damaged the front end on your driveway, then you said in your post in the for sale section on this forum that you damaged it in a car park at a shop.

ibuckout2 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 i said it was replaced because i left the lip in my driveway, the original damage was done on a parking curb, which weakened the lower lip Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/65086-gts-t-r33-series-i-or-ii/page/3/#findComment-1266804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
