If your really set on the car and that price ($1000 for on road costs for a used car - its this just a VIC thing??) - also you can generally knock at Lleast $1-2K off car yard prices when bargaining.

Anyway I don't think the problems you listed are that bad.

- Insecure passenger seat - tighten bolts.

- Pull to the left - $30 wheel alignment

- New cat converter - meh not a big deal.

- Oil leak - expected on an old skyline and if he's fixing the gasket for

free then why worry about it.

My biggest worry would be the odo reading 2,300kms, obviously swapped dash, who knows what the kays are really like. On that basis alone I would be very wary of this deal.

Fast and Luxurious Autos

MAKE/MODEL: Nissan Skyline GTS-T R33 Series 2

YEAR: 1997

ODOMETER: 65,000kms

PRICE: $18,900.00

COLOUR: Metallic Silver

TRANSMISSION: automatic

ENGINE: 2.5 litre

REGO NUMBER: RWD-443

Its a car yard but if i can get it down to 16 grand would be good.

also another at SSV for 16 grand... with 80 K.

Personally ^^ that looks like a much better deal to me..

Remember - if the ODO is screwed.. your gonna have issues selling it later on down the line..

Getting it down > $2,500 your game.. but meh.. see how you go..

Also - check out the VIN in Fast - someone on here can do it and double check..

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
