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.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
