Hi abdi, hope you had a good NYE :w00t: . Look @ this link above to start with. It depends wether you are going to use your own cash or finance to get the car, because if it is finance generally you can only use a dealer, unless you get a personal loan. When you find the one for you, do a through check... you don’t want a lemon... there are plenty of lemons out there for sale, so be careful [Get RACV to inspect, it costs, but its better to know before you buy the car if its shit, rather than after]. The last thing that you want is a Skyline that comes with a world of trouble.

look at this link:

http://www.carbroker.com.au/car_dealer_tricks_and_scams.php

Try these sites as well:

www.carsales.com.au

www.drive.com.au

www.carpoint.com.au

www.carsguide.com.au

Do some reaserch on the forme [ use the search ]. :cool: is your friend

hope this helps you out a bit. Have a good one

What are you being extremely picky on? Maybe list what you are looking for as with the hundreds of skylines out there for sale, nationwide, there must be one that fits your needs?

If not, have you thought about importing?

So the problem is you want a 96/97 skyline for $15.5K? Most people will move on price if you are a serious buyer. If you are PMing them with offers like that on here, you might not get much response. If I were you, I would be going to some private sellers who are pitching their car around the 16-18K mark and see what they say. That price from what I know would be the bottom of the 96/97 market which could be why you are struggling.

As Dezz says, that is a GTR so if you are planning on making it look like that, get a GTR to start with as the GTST lines and "hips" that look good on that car, aren't on the GTST.

s2 r33 for 15.5 grand huh? There are plenty out there. The photo you have put up there is a gtr - and no gts-t can ever look that good. You can put the front bar, the badge etc - but there are subtle visual differences that would still set the car apart from a gtr. however, you can put some good kits to make the car look awesome.

I would recommend SSV in oakleigh - they have a good range of cars. Saff cossie got his evo from there, and their cars are usually very good nick. You can check the stock via drive.com.au - just search via dealers and look for "southern special vehicles" in oakleigh. Speak to mark there, he brings the car in from japan himself. I would also recommend the place I got my car from - but they only import it as per customers request now i think (if you still wanna know, drop me a pm).

Also - keep in mind that if you get a stock skyline, there is a big - HUGE! - chance that you will want to modify it, take it to tracks/deca etc etc. So work out your finances carefully.

essentially to get that look off a GTST you will need to spend a few K more on a fibreglass bonnet (cheapest) new 400R front bar and sides...I think they are 400R sides, cant remember. This doesn't include whats going on on the back...spolier, rear bar and pods.

I guess the parts would cost you around 2k (roughly) then fitting and sprey...maybe another 1.5k...

Then u need some wheels...dunno 2k? plus rubber 1k

Lowered springs..not to much, but u need them fitted...maybe 700 all up..

So I guess ur point is u wanna buy this done already...cost to get a stockie looking like that u will need at least 7k (on a gernal guess) not including any engine mods..

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
