Ripper value

Not known for my patience - $13,900 Giddy-up

Check the For Sale whole cars thread on SAU and Carsales - do you have a low and upper spend limit in mind? Being School holidays SAU get a lot of these types of requests

fingers crossed the 32 will be ready by the weekend with front, rear bars all looking new keen to put the new steering wheel on and I got some really nice seat covers to preserve the front seats in top condition windscreen is being replaced tomorrow arvo as well with original (arial in the centre) - im chuffed. Prestige is about on the mark for higher quality work but you can wait a while for me it's the price of peace of mind and knowing if there is an issue it will be sorted Although I must say they are not mechanics and farm that work out to others if you've had a big bingle - that may cause issues. But as far as painting goes I'm real happy with the finished product I'd check David Hand out as it's likely to cost less and be a good job too When I was looking around a few people recommended them.

Keep the OEM shocks and get Lucas springs and you will be fine. Ask a professional steering and suspension shop the part number, buy & install them your self and then take it back and get it aligned properly. About $550 all up. $210 F/R pairs each and $85 for an alignment. Ride remains almost the same (slightly stiffer) ride height less. Win/Win

They are perfectly normal edit. will add look old so need replacing but to me they look good. perhaps 2, 5, 6 may have some minor lead (coil) issue but would like to know the age of the plugs first. Personally I would not be overly worried.

sorry - I thought you'd bought a Vspec II or similar - my mistake

at a ruff guess I'd say it has the standard graze marks on both mirror housings bonnet with fades/scaly clear coat and stone chips What your paying for mainly is the effort in the prep of the bonnet back to metal, spray putty, rub back, undercoat, rub back, coat, clear and polishing. If your charging around $80 - $100 an hour for labour plus paint (cheap) it adds up. Not many DIY people around Mik Minor works and maintenance is easier to DIY. Were basically lazy when it becomes time consuming. Blame the NOW generation

ah hum - could have taken the pic at the back of your 32

$1000 will go close for the work described above including bonnet repaint

Yes mate - Rego'd in the ACT for 10years before I bough it with ACT rego still on it. Changed over to me 2 months ago now. It was also Imported into the ACT and the Compliance etc was done in the ACT by a very well respected and known engineer. Not that bodgey bloke

Sorry but it is True. I went for RWC at local Garage to swap rego into my name, Received the all clear inspection report and went to pay at Shopfront. Sorry Buddy you need a vehicle Identity check. So booked it in and went to Dickson for a straight forward ID check. Sorry buddy everyone has been TOLD that ALL IMPORTS MUST be INSPECTED at Dickson. That's the law now. Make another appointment you have the wrong sort. Made the appointment and passed.

oh and NO you cant. All imports MUST go through Dickson now. Even rego swap over Just had to do this with my 32 - fark

Also selling mine Andy ( can't plug it enuff ) http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-2001/SSE-AD-2909440 Do a search on carsales anywhere from $7k to a very hopefull $25k Mine sits squarely in the middle ground (also known as the kill zone !)

Have another look -> http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-2001/SSE-AD-2909440 Time to add some incentive a $200 spotters reward will be paid for referral leading to sale by an SAU member

I asked Karma to help my Ex - still waiting but I remain positive she left just prior to a Tsunami so timing was out a lil

last name Bayden-Clay by any chance ?

Perhaps some elderly and well off SAU statesmen can chip in and share ?

Go to Redbook and look up that year model.It will give you average kms low to high. If it has under 130,000kms the ODO has likely been fiddled with or changed over (eg. Nismo cluster) There are some that have genuine low KM's and those owners are likely to have records to prove it and it will be in the higher price range. and yes definitely check the servicing records etc... I've been looking at 34GTT's on Carsales and can not believe the number of these that have had their ODO wound back. Seems it's like 8/10.

I LAUGHED OUT LOUD good one Rob

Just that little bit of extra effort and it turns to custard

$# it happens (to all of us at one time or another)
