Welcome to the forums. It's always great to have new members. Good luck in your hunt for a skyline. Take your time, and make sure that you are going to be happy with it. The only sound advice I can pass on is get a really decent alarm system fitted. Unfortunately it is getting to the stage where you need it as a much as you need 4 wheels on the car. Viper do a good alarm. Have a look on ebay for them cos you can generally pick them up a lot cheaper than what you would pay for the same thing here. This is mainly cos the distributor doesn't get any decent rebate on them from Viper. Still, never-the-less they are a great Alarm system. Look forward to seeing you on one of the cruises when you get your new set of wheels :cheers:

raa are crap .

my 2 cents

they dont know nething bout performance cars, i got them to come out one time to check my r34 when i was having trouble with it and the guy couldnt even tell me what was wrong with her.

honestly take it too a place that deals with performance cars day in and day out so you know that they know what they are doing and talking about.

raa = waste of monies

p.s get an alarm asap though (like everyone else has said)

14-15 sounds about right, pending what's on the car and the condition. I paid $15k for my 33GTSt earlier this year. do you have a link to an add for the car, or list some more details?

good idea about scrapping it and starting again

can always sell the old one for cheap too

AH Robski is a member here will be a well looked after ride

honestly i wouldn't bother with RAA now we know who owned it ring up Shaun from boostworx and ask him about the car 'ROBSKI' you may think its funny buy Shaun has a meticulous memory he will know if its good or bad

Hey, welcome to the forums. Alot of RAA mechanics dont really no a great deal about turbo performance vehicles "in my experiences anyway". Your best bet is to go to a performance workshop for a once over.

They don't know a lot about anything.

I bought a 3yr old VS 5ltr 5speed some years ago; had it RAA inspected only to discover within a week of owning the car it had loose engine mounts, water running down the side of the block due to a leaky inlet manifold, minor chassis rail damage of which wasn't mentioned on the report and an incorrectly installed tail shaft centre bearing which caused vibrations and thumping on acceleration.

well what i would advise is to get the vin/ engine number and all that! you should check to see if the numbers the person has given you are the actual numbers on the car! and then call up or go onto ezyreg and check! it'll tell you if the car is defected, stolen or finace owing on it etc etc! and then a raa check would be nice!

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
