Hey mate,

we got two r33's at the moment. Come in and check them out, no pressure at all. We're in Richmond, VIC, and always try to give our best prices to SAU members (they're listed at 13,9 and 12,9). We've sold a bunch to SAU people so check other threads about us.

good luck with your quest regardless.

cheers,

David @ Carizma

Hi David,

Thanks

Appreciate all the valuable advices i m getting mates. cheers for tat n keep em coming. till nw this is my conclusion. go for a r33 (first priority, n of course i ll keep it good by regualar service). get it inspected at recustoms or revzone b4 buyin. go 4 the dealers SSV, Japcars or Kamikaze. i hope this is what all of u wanted 2 say. lets c hw i go on this weekend for my car hunt...........

ey man if u got $10k-$20k on spending a skyline you might aswell get the best you can buy.

a r32 skyline is a car that you have to be prepared to look after as they are getting old. i've had a few things go wrong with my 32. suspension is 90% always shot unless it was hardly driven or has been replaced. power steering leaks are pretty notorious with 32's and the 4ws (hicas) system makes it worse when its failed. Not trying to discourage you from buying one and i love my r32 but the reality is that they are getting old.

for the price you want to pay go the series II r33 or a nice r34 gtt. if ur a new p plater don't get any of them at all lol as you won't be allowed to drive the turbo models.

but another thing to look at is the fact that a r32 makes 160kw, r33 makes 187kw? and a r34 gtt has 206kw. be sure to be ready when you put the power down that you are confident enough to handle it because i've heard of so many people stuffing around in 33's-34's and slamming into a pole.

gr8 advise mate. i had no idea abt r32, r33 n other models. till nw i was just seeing a skyline based on its looks bt nw i ll also c if i can get a r33 or above in the range i want 2 spend. n i m holding a full license for more than a year nw so it wont b a problem 4 me. i m probably looking for a car that is atleast made in 1998 or above. do u reckon i can get a r33 or r34 tat is 1998 or above model in <$20k????

[How To Appeal A Traffic Infringement?]

Just try writing a letter bro and u shd be able to get out without paying anything. I have lot of fnds who got parking and speeding fines and they all wrote letters indicating it was their first fault n they ll do everything possible to make sure it does not happen again. n guess wat, they all got their notices cancelled. urs is nt as serious a crime as theirs so just write a letter along those lines n u everything shd b cool.

Thank u very very veru much dude. u r like GOD 2 me at this moment. I will definitely be aware of the things 2 have told me. i m looking 2 spend something around $10k to $20k on the car and i m nt 2 fussy abt the mods on it. I want nice alloy wheels on the car 4 sure n want a decent interior. sry 2 trouble u again bt i m nt sure on hw 2 check the things u told me. i mean, i can look at the paint n interior faults n probably the oil leaks bt hw do i knw the brakes r good? does they make ne sound when nt maintained properly? regardless of the other things, u have definitely helped a lot. i really appreciate it v much n ll check out the dealer u have suggested during the weekend.

Whatever you do, get the RACV to check it.

You should also get the vin and engine numbers, call up vicroads and double check that its all legit, not stolen or anything.

If you get a good skyline, you won't regret it

I definitely will get it RACV checked.

Some general advice when you find one you like do a revs check and pay for an NRMA inspection, even better if you have a friend/family member who is a mechanic take them along.

Thanks for the advice bro but unfortunately I dont have any family members over here and the fnds I knw r no good then me in their knowledge of cars........ I have seen some cars from Power Rd Car Sales in dandenong. Any idea abt them? r they a good dealer?

Hi everyone,

I am located in Melbourne right now and I want to buy a used Skyline for myself. The problem is I dont have any idea about how to do that so I am seeking help. Can you pleaseeeeeeeeee tell me whether to buy it from a dealer or private seller? And can you also please suggest me some trustworthy dealers (I knw it will be very rare) in Victoria?

Any help is greatly appreciated as I am like a child going to school for the 1st time. No knowledge abt the skylines. I just love thier looks.

Cheers
