16-18k if in good nic

True, I saw some for around 16 that look fine in pics but upon inspection were in really bad condition. buy one under 16k and most probably it will be not very good to put it kindly. Or simply put a pos.

you should be able to get Good S2 stock standard (exhaust/POD) for about 16,500 - 18K the latter with really good wheels and FMIC.etc.. The problem is lot of people have them for sale but can not sell them (No demand) so even if it's listed for 18K if your a serious buyer should be able to get it down!!!!..

as for K's well...All Japs are like that..so just check for condition of the car and get good checkup done by Jap Performance workshop (not by VicRoads/RACQ).

then you should be ok, also do a 100,000K service regardless of the K's if the current owner dont have receipts for it.

i got mine for 16,500 mint example but it was for sale at 18500.....you should track carsales/carpoint for some time and spot the owners getting desperate as time goes by and bounce...worth or not market is determine by demand

:sorcerer:

well, demand can be because of various reasons....i personally think there are too many of them around also the whole hoon image...but don't want to go their...

which state are you in....depending on that every state sub forum will have tread/s about workshops and most workshops do inspections for a fee (compression, leak down test, general under body corrosion , accident damage, cooling system and so on) also check for it to see if the car has clear title (no loan or finance owing) can also do VIN check....their is tread for that in this forum too... ;)

My advice go for a mint S2 r33 GTST (the newer the better) 40th anniversary model is the most sort after R33 S2 - pre loved one already in the country and trust me you will be very happy.

Good luck

totally agree with whats already been said, I got my 96 S2 R33 with AVS wheels and a couple of other little things, low k's and immac condition, for 16, they were asking 18. Have a good look and you can find some good value cars....just check out the previous owner and how they cared for the car aswell...

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
