You can get newer 96/97 Series 2 Skylines for under $20k. Like this one is a auto but its in NSW: Skyline 96 Auto

or this one is a manual in bris: Bris Skyline

I didn't realise some 96/97 S2 Skylines are so cheap if you have a look at www.carsales.com.au they are really cheap. Like $18k for a 96 Auto Turbo. Bargain.

Yeah i jus still don't get the 'sidewall' thing....?

Thanks also for the thoughts on what i should get. I will prob take a family friend round wit me who is a good mechanic, to help out.

Next question: what's the difference between an 'SR' and 'RB' engine? And all of those numbers on the end, or which come with it?

Like i said at the start, i'm kinda new to all this so....

SR is a 4cyl from silvia and in a few others too, RB engines are in skylines, vl turbo common hore, cefiro etc... the numbers refer to the capacity... then the letters after that mean stuff too :D

so SR20DET = 4cyl, 2.0l, D= dual overhead cams, E = fuel injected (i think) and T = turbo..

so RB25DE = 6 cyl 2.5l non turbo DOHC

Well done skyline fan for your frank admission. I know jack about cars to i guess but am always willing to learn...I would be keen to hear how you go about getting your car and may pick your brain later as to your strategies and suggestions. Could prove to be a good learning curve mate.

Chaos...all I can say is "what the..." for your saying of the week

go to www.supercars.net for wallpapers. they've got heaps of cars there, plus skylines.

engine code for GTR is rb26dett, which stands for Race Bred 2.6 litres Double overhead camshafts, Electronic fuel injection Twin Turbo.

not sure what SR stands for, but the ending bit's the same. cept it's not twin turbo.

um okay....i'm kinda followin most of this......thanks to everyone who has put stuff in so far btw.

Readin' some of the posts this mornin' on this thread and some of the 'jargon' (i'd guess u'd call it) is still kinda confusin me......like camshafts and 'dissy' (????). I guess i can't get u guys to explain 'everything' unless i ask for a specific term.

Thanks to 'speed freak' as well for his comments. Like i said, I'm new to this forum thing, but i'm not gonna come on here and try and kid myself, let alone everyone else, that i'm some 'car guru' or somethin, when i'm definately anything but. I'll definately keep youse updated on how the car hunt is goin, and collect thoughts and stuff along the way

You'll prob see me on here frequently neway, askin about one car part or another so......

Btw, is it so bad to have an auto?

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
