thanks

Kris

Kris. I was in a similiar position (but im heading over to the dark side... more on that later) but shop around and hassle as many people as you can. Ask as many questions as you like and drive as many cars as you can. Most of the places i went to, were very funny about insurance and wouldnt even let me look at the car, without looking over my shoulder constantly. Getting a test drive also proved difficult (at some of the dodgier places)

Remember you get what you pay for. I looked at some for around 16K and they were in really awful condition.

Places i found that had good cars were Autoworx, C Red and Extreme Machines. There are other places that sell good cars, however if i was buying a skyline (and i almost put a deposit down on one) i would visit these guys again...

Various people told me negatives and positives about all three, however i only found them to be more than helpful. They also had the more expensive cars i came across BUT they were in far better condition.

Cheers

Like i said, i looked around for a line and came across a couple i really like.... Glad i didnt buy one. I love them, but they are so impractical for me. Looked around for a Chaser too, but i want a newish car!

The thing that changed my mind was a ride in a good mates club spec 4!!!! u may know the car....... The other one i went in (similiar) was almost as quick.

So yeh in the market for a rex (has to be silver) and im in no hurry, because i soon as i get it, everything has to go in (new box, turbo, ecu etc.........) When the right car comes along (and i know the one i want!) i'll jump right in.

You had a skyline didnt you. How do you find they compare (i've driven both and i like em both)

wtf are you buyin a rex for then? the space in the back of a skyline coupe is about 2 times better than a wrx coupe!

lol @ new box. at least you're realistic about something.

I've driven modded versions of both and i really like them.

The back seats are easier in a rex than a skyline, with the extra two doors etc. I've sat in them and the rexes definitely have a bit more room. Havent seen the boot for a skyline, so i dont know how big it is etc.

Unfortunately both are getting pretty common, so it has to be different.

Although $$, a better box has to come straight away.... You have to be realistic!!

Hey kym,

The km's seem a little low for a 1993 i mean 54,000 seems a little dodgy, i still will check this car out

thanks

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
