awesome, thanks mate

Okay, question; I noticed that the taillights are almost identical on the hatches when compared with any of the import r30s with the hotplate taillights, other than the hotplates. I have an 82 Japanese import R30 hatch, and I was wondering whether anyone knows whether it would be a reasonably simple procedure to replace the existing tail lights with the hotplate taillights. Danke very much

http://www.gumtree.c...alue/1002041586 here is the skyline, just as an update that i ended up buying... it's a dream. really good nick. i had my mechanic check it out and he reckons it's a 'solid unit', had no problems for the last month and i couldn't want much more. fuel efficiency turned out to not really be a problem. i was also coming back to this topic, instead of starting a new one, because i was wondering if anyone was wrecking one of these model skylines or new a good place to get parts? i sort of would like to put in a new glove box and maybe other parts too, i just want to bring the interior back, because it has a few solid scratches. (on that note, does anyone know a good way to get them out without having to replace the sections?) thanks

g'day all, sorry to make my first post a bit of a know-nothing question, but i'm really really interested in getting the hatchback R30. there are very few around and in the past six months only two have popped up in tasmania, the first one was great and reasonably priced, but devastated, i just didn't qute have the money at the stage. another appeared on gumtree just a few weeks back, it was a manual and ticked all the boxes, but to my disappointment was one of the 6-cyl 2.4 models, without the aircon, power windows or central locking. their fuel economy (according to the depths of the internet) is pretty terrible and in my situation i am willing to fix parts but not have such a high ongoing cost. my question to any skyline veterans is... how often do these come around in your experience? are the 1.8 ltr 4-cyl only automatics? should i wait? i have become obsessed but don't have a car at the moment and am considering getting something in the meantime, but i just can't let them go and nothing compares! thanks in advance, joe EDIT: also, one of my other options is this reasonably mint 1982 datsun pulsar, i'm not 100% about whether i can talk about things other than skylines but here is the link: http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automotive/Used-Cars/AdNumber=TP004786325 ... anyone know much about them? it seems like a bucketload as a saw one with similar k's go for $800
