Hi Guys and girls.

Im looking at spending about 15k on a skyline, but it has to be non turbo as im a p plater. Just wondering who has one and what did you choose, gts or gts-4. And also the best place to pick one up, either private sale or dealer, or any of your mates that want to sell.

Thanks

GTS ftw mate.

Unless you plan on going to the snow every year, the GTS4 would be the choice.

15k would be overkill - but good to see you have got $$ saved - r32 and r33 gts models can get quite cheaply, 7k to 10k is a "general"range

yeah go the GTS, it'll be cheaper and for that amount you should be able to pickup a 4-door non turbo R34

The R33 GTS4, which I guess you are looking at, is very very heavy and slow, the R32 only have a 4wd turbo GTS4, otherwise if you were lucky you could find the 2.6L Autech skyline, GT-B i think it was called, 4wd rb26de, quite quick apparently, but you won't get one for cheap :S and it'll be too hard to find, i don't know of anyone with one in Australia or New Zealand :S

So either R33 GTS or R34, depending on budget and if you want 2-door coupe ro 4-door sedan

I wonder if you could get a non turbo R34 for $15k?

thats wat i was thinking

personally i'd never spend that much on a non turbo skyline unless maybe an r34 if you have to get a non turbo

i remember seeing a fresh import r34 n/a manual clean good Ks going for 16,000 on another forum and this was a while back.

don't bother with the R33s dude they are gutless, gts or gts4 same shit. good cruisers though...

You haven't specified if you prefer one particular model of Skyline, but if you like R32s you might also want to keep an eye out for the GTS25, which is a non-turbo RB25DE. It has the advantage of a bit more torque than the RB20DE in the R32 GTS, and is still P-plate friendly.

Otherwise, if you're happy to spend the whole 15K on just the car, and wait a while to save up for other mods, then I'd personally go the R34 GT.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
