atmospheric BOV is a bad idea, entering the world of skylines gets you a free pass to the police most wanted list. Plumback is probably your best option
* Factory option of gauges or LCD screen (maybe option of neither but propably screen removed)
* In the tutorials theres a "What to look for when buying a skyline" thread which you should learn word for word before going to check out a car. Tells you what all the trouble areas are and what to look out for. As with most imports the dials are wound back so look in the engine bay for a sticker with any mention of 100,000km. Dont get suckered in to the whole japanese dont drive there cars much, less wear means less km which i fell for. Was shown the sticker a few weeks ago so my "74,000km import" became an 110,000km+ import.
* Ridiculously easy... ash tray, few bolts, clips and your done.
* So many different methods (toothpaste, kitten cut and polish (my choice), plexiglass cleaner etc) theres a thread about it.
* Pretty expensive when something goes wrong but the aftermarket parts arent too bad in comparison to other makes of cars, all up to how much you care about name brands like everything else
