Hi guys n gals,

http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/...&used_rec=1

That is the car im currently taken a look at and contacting the owner as well as NRMA inscpetion to organise a looky smile.gif i think the car looks preety clean. Now there are some mods on there that might heable to be defected ie the intercooler.. at the front. also Some person thinks the treds are to wide for it.... they are wide but skylines are cars that are mad on wide treds.... anyways im just pointing out some things and asking your Opinions i offered him 10,300 in the message i sent off to him

Cheers Tom

dont be stingy - 11k is what itd be worth :spank:

and yeah, a lot of things on the car 'could' be defectable...... being pulled over and checked is a risk you take by simply owning a skyline, whether stock or modified.

have u seen the car in person yet?

dont get too excited till you do.

sometimes you expect it to be great from the pics, but then you turn up, and pffffft, no good.

everyone's been through it, like myself, probably too many times.

will do :D im thinking about this car or maybee just buying a stock r32 with basic body kit etc and bov froma car dealership at least with them they usualy arent stingy and weird... and they have warranties

Don't trust (most) dealers from a bar of soap. They are stingy (it's their job) and they are weird (have to be to do their job well). Of course, massive generalisation :) but plenty of truth there.

A stock R32 will be far easier in the headaches department. There are too many reversible things that need to be done to keep the roadworthy authorities away when going for rego or pulled over for a 'random breath test'.

      I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
