hey mate, just some questions

how much money do you think (approx) it would take to fix up the brakes and engine and rust and pretty much to get it registered....have you been given any quotes?

is it a column shift or the floor shifter? does it have buckets or a bench.

any chance of some new pics of the car, interior, engine, brakes, rust...pretty much everything!

thanks, gus.

Edited by Gus-

From memory this model was 4 cylinder engine (??)

When you say 'ford single rail LSD in it' do you mean its got a Ford single rail gearbox in place of the original and an LSD ??

Edit: Google is your friend:

Definately a 4 cyl engine and could be either floor shift or column depending on seat configuration.

Thank for the quick reply's, ok ill give you as much info as i can on her.

Its the 4 cylinder model,has a 1500cc with 4 speed floor shifted gearbox. The diff is a 8 1/2 inch borg warner LSD, bit of overkill but will handle 300hp no worries.

Costs to fix her up will vary depending how much work you can do yourself.

Engine rebuild or replacement, disk brakes, fix rust and new carpet, this is the list ive made for myself to be addressed.

I was going to chuck a sr20 in her as the old 1500cc has zero balls.

The rest of the car is in good condition, hoodlining is perfect, rear shocks are new koni's, rear tires are new, paint is still in great nik except for about 5 rust spots which i think was from bad prepping of joins, have the original seats in great nik.

It does need a bit of work, brakes only need a booster fitted to make them good but disks up front would be nice, like most old princes ive seen its had ford drum brakes fitted of and old v8 thats why its got the ford lsd, 14 inch rims instead of 13inch.

Id say it could be as cheap as 5k to 10k to get her fully up and running again with about 20k needed for my planned disk brakes and sr20 powerplant with a full respray.

Ill get some more recent pics today and post them up tonight, if you are keen for a look just let me know.

Thx jason.

no one interested in a early skyline it seems!

Jason - you need to post pics of the car now, not what it did look 6 years ago. In particular of the rust and the interior condition. Based on your description and what I know about rust in cars of this age, it might be worth what your asking for it......but it could also be worth a lot less. I'm in Melbourne, so that also makes things a bit 'hard' for me in terms of assessing the car.

Sorry steve mate ive had troubles getting my hands on a camera, i got 2 photo's of it the other day but the quality is a bit average,we were in the middle of a storm :P

Ive circled the rust, its there but it isnt to bad ill get some more shots during the weekend for you. The car has been sitting for awhile but is stll in pretty good condition, seats are inside my house in perfect nik.

Hoodling is perfect ill get some photo's to show you so just be patient.

Look im keen to get rid of it and not 100% sure what its worth so i am willing to be flexiable with the price.

As of now im looking for 2k to get people a little more interested in it. For that price this car is a bargin,cost me 9k with work to do when i bought it so for 2k its a perfect oldschool project for someone that wants something that is rare as hens teeth.

Ill get some pics up of the whole car over the weekend.

Thx Jason.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
