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.

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

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.

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
