Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Hello everyone, long time lurker fairly new poster.

Just wanting some advice if possible. I am currently looking at purchasing a skyline and am wanting somthing mechanically sound. I have recently found a car and was wondeing if there is anywhere that does pre purchase inspections? I know of RAA etc, but have been told there knowledge of imports isnt great. I am a female without a huge amount of mechanical knowledge and I dont want to be taken for a ride.

Thankyou for your input in advance

welcome sarah,

depending what side of town you live on there are a few places you can take your car to and have them give it the once over.

boostworx out south, morpowa out north, graham west workshop closer to town, etc. check the workshop thread on the main page.

theyll be more than happy to give your car a look and tell you whats what.

good luck, dave.

Welcome Sarah. Ignore the walking-talking erections here :D

As mentioned, check the workshops thread for one close to you and arrange for them to inspect the car. Good luck with it. Hope you buy a pearler and see you around SAU more :D

morning all

one word

stimulated

thanks kruddy :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Me too...matty

does this mean I'm sponsored by the gov for new car toys ??...lol better get some new stickers for my first sponsor. krudd racing team.lol NOT!!!

funny how its already spent on things before it even arrives

Sarah welcome, recommend a compression test if the car is $$$ and your serious about buying it

and the normal items , belts, water pump 100k service if its older. does the wear on gear shift and steering wheel match the k's??

has it been defected recently, look for shonky low budget fixes to dump the car after defect cleared.

accident damage inspection, look in the boot under carpet for rust, patch work etc, same for the front guard area, body seams line up ???

Rob prime in the south does inspections and decent basic work , but not a skyline spec.

if its a dealer ,, offer them 4-5k less ,,,lots of mark up in cars..lol

F*cking bullshit place. My entire family has had dodgy dealings with that place, including me.

Don't EVER take ANY car there!! No matter how shit it is!!!!!!

:D Pretty decent, runs really well! fixed up some of the mounting issues with the indicators.

I brought the front bar from viva, which fits really well! :D

EDIT: can someone please fill me in, why are the back of the headlights black, while some/most I see are silver?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
