good stuff atreyu, I was going to ask you about that

Thanks for the info guys very helpfull. Also is it possible to put a series 2 front bumper on a series 1 car?

Atreyu im very interested, Ill contact you in a week about a week or so if the car is still for sale.

Interloper how do I tell if the engine is in good condition? I dont know much about cars. I like Atreyu car. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=131922&hl= Is Atreyu's car in good condition? Ive told my dad about Atreyu's car but he thinks the car has been thrashed. Ive told him we can go check it out at a performance mechanic but he still dosent trust it.

hanyou its done 84 not 20, so you guys reckon 84,000kms is BS? how so? what about the compression thing is 20psi good?

Hi all, Im looking to get my first Skyline so I went to Power Road Car Sales on sat afternoon and came accross this great looking Series II Skyline Its done 84,000kms, comes with 17" nismo wheels that are apparently worth $3000 (he said its a double wheel and it can be repaired) no Idea what he's talking about but it looks cool Its going for $18,000 inc road worthy, stamp duty and all that other rubbish. Its got a scratch on the front bumper, rear bumper and the left hand light lense is a bit worn. They said that they will fix all of that when I get the car and the only reason they show the car like that is because they want you to see what it looks like straight from japan. I asked the guy If it has had a compression test etc.. and he said it has its getting 20 psi on all cylinders (I dont know if thats good or bad) but if it has done all those tests is there supose to be paper work to prove it? its got service records from japan too. So what do you guys think of this? Is it really worth $18,000, my budget was $15,000 but this car just looks so good.

Thanks for the info guys I really apprecieate it. I like Atreyu's car but my dad is makeing a fuss about buying a car from a private seller he wants me to get one from a dealer that has just been imported. I guess he's got trust issues or something.

would you be willing to travel to the south eastern suburbs in melbourne?

never mind I didnt read all the posts

Oh that I am. I absoluetly loved this car when I played Grand Turismo 2 on the playstation years ago and I said to my self back then that I would get one after highschool. Dont know what happened between then and now but yeah

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and new to the whole car buisness. I am 24 years old and im getting rid of my dads old fairmont he gave me when I turned 18 and im looking to get a R33 GTSt Skyline or possibly a Commodore S (the skyline is my first choice tho). What I would like to know is what are the sort of things I should look out for when shopping around for skylines because this is the first car I am actually going to buy. I have been looking on carsales for the last month at the different skylines. Is it better to get one from a dealer or a private seller? my father dosent think its a good idea to buy from a private seller but then again he dosent know much about cars either, Im willing to spend $15,000 max. Is it bad to get a car that has done 100,000km+ (I havent found many that have done less and the ones that have done less than 100,000km are over my price range), are spare parts at a reasonable price and easy to get? Ive been told by people at work that these cars breakdown alot and if I get one that it will be in for repairs more that it is on the road, but these people telling me this are jap car haters thanks, Craig.
