hey everyone i had to tell someone so i thought how about i tell alot of people. its a 1999 r34 25gt its silver, has the turbo brakes and has carbon fibre window pillars which looks pretty cool. i went with my dad and my uncle and we looked at every little bit of it, we moved the carpet in the boot and in the car as well, looked underneath and took it for a drive and then checked for any leaks and its as clean as a whistle. i should have it in a week or two and ill take some pics and post em up. oh and the best thing is i bought it i dont owe anyone which is a good feeling. when taking it for a test drive it felt great, the handling felt fantastic the braking was awsome and revved nicely through all gears. now i have to wait which sucks im real excitied i feel like a little boy on christmas eve lol, anyway ill post pics when i get it thanks for reading i just had to tell someone lol.

Awesome buddy.

I remember the first time i drove my 'line. Was raining like a mofo' then i stalled it coming home and had to push the car to the side of the road, as the battery decided to completely shit itself :laugh:

After that is was all sweet, once i replaced the battery :P

Congratulaions mate - welcome to the Skyline Family

ahhh...the first day i picked up my baby. Hadn't really driven a manual car before so was a 'tad' inexperienced lol.

Drove it like a retard, stalled it more 5 times + but i didn't care. Was a grinning idiot all the way home :laugh:

Enjoy your new car and treat it with respect mate, cos the minute you don't, it can come back and bite you four fold.

Drive safe and take care

ill definately take pics as soon as i get it. i was going to get the pics now but it has already been taken off carsales. i got it at power road car sales for $14,000. he is a small dealer but only works with skylines but he had a couple of 300zx's there as well. it was a bit of a drive to go and see it but my uncle lives in rowville so it wasn't that bad the dealer was in dandenong and i live on the other side of melb, ill definately be seeing you guys because ill be joining for sure. also i forgot to mention the badging on the back is in gold did any come with that or did the last owner just buy them or paint them.

it seemed like a good dealer he was a nice guy as well so i was happy to buy my skyline from there he said he was buying one of those nissan v35's, and they come with an 8 speed auto, that would be one smooth ride it must cruise at a very low rpm.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
