Okay, the time has come to begin searching. with just over 2 weeks left of the financial year... Let the serious Skyline hunt begin.

Sadly, importing is not an option due to my proposed financier (Prosperion) not being able to finance a car until it's registered. After all, how can they ? When the car doesn't EXIST in this courntry yet... Sorry Geoff (prestige)

So now I'm on the dealer prowl for a:

1996 Spec2 Skyline GTSt

WHITE or Black, less than 80,000kms

Sunroof

ABS Brakes

GTR Rear wing

17's minimum

Suspension

S-AFC

Boost guage

Air-pod

Exhaust

Boost Controller (EVC or AVCR)

Turbo Timer

for around $24,000 would be nice....

oh yeah, it MUST be 96+ for prosperion.

If anyone has seen one, seen something similiar.... let me know. also, if you think this is possible..?

(FYI: ex-static's spec2, is EXACTLY what im lookin for, but in white + sunroof)

Cheers dudes....

Strich9ine,

Dude, glad your not too picky with the specs you are after!!!!:mad:

I'm thinking for the year you want and the mods you'd be looking closer to $30,000 for that, and you'd probably be better off getting a private sale with all those mods, car yards don't tend to have much more than exhaust, pod ect...

Good luck looking though man....

Damn!!!!!

I got my early 96 (with series 1 interior) with jap sus and jap exhaust for $34,000 2 years ago!!!! Can't believe how much the price has dropped for them. The car yard was asking $38,000 and I looked at two others from different car yards, same year for over $40,000.... But I guess back then there wasn't many around.

Lucky bastard....:mad:

  • 2 years later...

I know a guy with one thats been in the country for a while, it had some misfire problem which turned out to be spark plugs, but he fixed that. Its a white one. PM me if you're interested and I'll put you in contact with him.......... :aroused:

at motor forum in mandurah they have one exactly with wat ur looking for for 22k.Its a m spec with 17'' gold rims huge exhaust plus others.I drove it and its f****** fast eh.

That is a straight and clean car and it is a bargin price, the wheels are worth of fortune, it was bought by Mark Hocking of www.mytrading.org fame or you can see him on Hard Tuned Imports 3.

$22,000 with dealers warrenty and RAC can inspect it.

    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
