Hi, a few of you would have seen my threads about buying a skyline. This is my situation i just got accepted into tafe at homesglen chadstone ( if anyone from here goes there PM me). For over 3 months i have been searching for a skyline at one stage it was a black 93 then a white 93 then a gunmetal 93, this is going on for over 3 months now. After all of it i decided that i want a white one. If to say i buy my 32 for around 12k i have to add my insurance and that will be close to 3k, my insurance will be as much as your average p plater car. I am thinking of getting a car for around 3-4k then i'll go for fire and theft for my insurance. When I look at it this way i can keep the money i have now for a 33 or somthing in the future and my insurance will be less and i will have a quicker car and all the power to weight bullshit wont apply to me. What are your thoughts?

if you are on restrictions than definately dont get anything your not legally allowed to drive, it will be headaches if you get caught.

Yes to buying a cheap car and saving as much as you can for a better one down the track when it would be more feasible to get one. bloody skylines.... money pit!

100 kw corrolla.Or get a rolla with a NA 20v 4agze.with pod,put a nice wide cold air induction up to it.extractors and exhaust and HD clutch.make sure the box isnt slushy and the cv's arnt clunkey.Do a u turn on full lock turning both sides if it has a clunk/clicking noise,then the cv's need replacing ie:more money.and a fully sic system FTW...

Had a swift gti.Done that.If youve owned somthing like a datto or gemini 4cyl.Then you will appreciate the swifts power all of 63kw.Their not power steer tho.and their cv's,like most if not all 4cyl fwd cars of that era,are up to shit inc stock clutch etc...Word of warning.dont dump it everywhere you go.those little gearboxes aint cheap.4.5 yrs ago i paid $900 for a reco box and $250 for a hd clutch not installed.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
