My first Skyline!

[Auscriminal]

Hey guys,

I got a bargin Skyline on ebay lol. Its a standard White 1995 GTS-T with 60000km, i thought i would take a risk and buy this while i was in the u.k. as the owner said it was an immaculate car that had been hardley driven. I ended up paying 16k for it.

I now have the car and it is perfect like a new car! Amazing. I had it checked out by a merchanic and he said that the car was absolutly fine Do you guys think that is a bargin?? im not really sure what they go for, i mean you see them in autotrader for like 22k but do they actually sell for that?

Anyways Ebay rocks so far i have picked up:

a Brandnew F.M Intercooler

-Core Size: 600x300x100

- Overall size 780x330x100

- Inlet: 76mm

- Outlet: 76mm

- Polished Finish $350.00

a Apexi AVCR type R boost controller $700.00

a full Stainless steel 3 inch turbo back exhaust with silencer and high flo cat $900.00

and a Walbro 500hp fuel pump $200.00

Do you think i have done good?

what other parts do you think i should buy?

You still need cooler piping for your core, which will set you back another few hundred. Other than that, the car was quite a good price you picked it up for, but hows all the panel work? Any previous accident history??? With the parts your buying off ebay, a good search before ebay are the forums here, as you can pick up some nice deals, hence I think you paid just a lil too much for the AVC-R as I seen them go cheaper on here.

Other parts you need to buy, is either the SAFC or Power FC, to tune your car for the mods your putting on there. The standard ecu is crap, and will probably crap itself once you bolt the mods on, by going into R&R mode, hence the reason for SAFC or Power FC.

With those mods on, you will probably need to regap plugs, ie when you run higher boost, to something like .75mm - .8mm

All in all, welcome to the Skyline scene, and hope it all goes well for you. Hmmm by the way, this post needs to probably go in the "General" section next time for reference.

P.S, Dont skimp on fuel, you need to run premium

lol mate Yeah 19's on the way! All things like that will be coming, im in england at the moment but will be back in a week, so i will make it look awesome then.

My mate is doing the cooler fitting as we speak. I noticed there are some wicked Turbo back stainless exhaust systems on ebay, that look rather cool!! :wassup:

those apexi parts you where talking about dude, i think im going to get a wolf3d instead seems to do everything really, good for the money.

the car is perfect all panels are straight and looks as if it has never been driven.

best to put iridium plugs in isnt it? full the extra boosts!! :flamed:

cheers for the info buddy!
