Sorry I just had to share a friend of a friend of mine just brought a Series 1.5 or 2 Im not sure of the difference white mspec for like 10k unregistered and without roadworthy.

To me 10k is extremely cheap the thing has been looked over and all that was found was a leaking strut apparently (according to my friend another skyline owner) its clean has the full mspec kit and is untouched..except for rims

Is it just me or is 10k extremely cheap.

I will post up some pics tonight as my brother is a mechanic and is taking it for roadworthy.

Ill also try get her to join the forums.

if its 97 then it will be a S2 yeah thats cheap! depending on K's. i got mine series 1 95 (1.5), for 11k in feb with rego and roady and i thoiught i did considerably well. "according" to the odometer it had 88k on it (all numbers are pefectly inline) . im happy with it.

sounds like your mate scored a bargin too. post pics

i paid 13,500 for mine in june last year, did reasonably well but yeh since these new laws, the price has come down for 33 and up for 32 as p-platers can still drive 32's. ship some back or start burning them lol.

fark...the de-preciation on skylines is doin my head in. My series 2 cost me 18 grand when i bought it from a dealer! We need to ship some back to japan to have less for sale...!

it's ok more and more dickheads are binning them and wrecking for parts.

i definitely see less R32GTRs on the road than 2 years ago

But what i dont understand is wasn't the r33 always illegal to drive on p's?

32's have held there price way too well for my liking... :D

Yes you're right, either ship em back or keep writing em off! whatever helps to slow the depreciation...;

Not for long,

soon all turbo cars will be banned for P's

Ill post up some pics a bit later I just got home from work now and its sitting in the driveway just a bit too dark for soem good pics. Its bloody clean though has 17" advan tri spoke wheels on it and other than that looks stock as a rock.. Ill check the odometer reading etc a lil later and update you all a bit more.

Alright so I just went out and had a look its an 97 has green neons *lol* has JVC head unit as well as stock tape deck,turbo timer, some sort of GPS unit, is definately a series 2 with 89,000km on the clock, has a rear strut brace (do all series 2's have this), and hks super filter air intake setup...

but heres the downer and what I wasnt told....its an auto....so is that still a good price...

OKay I know this sounds really dumb but series 2's still need to be compliance yeah?? I cant see a compliance plate anywhere under the hood of this thing there normally green and sat somewhere either on the strut top or firewall yeah? Could be why it was so cheap...

yeah all imports need compliance man. check for a pink compliance plate too...(but i think thats only if its less than 10 years old - im sure though)

its not my car so to be honest im not too concerned but I am worried for her a 97 auto with mods for 10k is cheap as it is could be due to no compliance..

i did the old look for a rego sticker mark on the window couldnt see that either.

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
