Hey Guys,

My 86' Celica has served me well but like all old things it is falling apart and I need something new. I have my eyes on two cars at the moment I know you'll probably think this is preety gay. But im looking at getting a 4 door, Automatic ECR34. I've got two choices, I can either move towards a 2000 model four door silver one from Power Rd Motors in Dandenong, or a 1998 Black ECR34 from SEI motors. Can anyone help me make up my mind. The stats are as following.

SEI MOTORS BLACK SKYLINE

Price: $14,900

Vehicle: 1998 NISSAN SKYLINE R34 25GT

Body: SEDAN

Colour: BLACK

Transmission: Automatic

Kilometres: 90,110

Engine: 6 cylinder Petrol Multi-point injected 2.5 (2500cc)

Reg Plate: UNREG

VIN: 6U90000ER34005814

Stock#: 005814

The steering wheel seemed a bit worn, and the black tape crap on the side was slightly peeling, and one the rear light just above the keyhole on the boat was slightly worn. Bill the guy who owned the store, told me he'd give it to me for 16,300 with all on road costs.

Price: $15,990

Vehicle: 2000 NISSAN SKYLINE ECR34

Body: SEDAN

Colour: silver Metalic

Transmission: Automatic

Kilometres: 54,000

Engine: 6 cylinder Petrol Injected 2.5 (2498cc)

Reg Plate: AS91

VIN: rb25 375449a

Stock#: AS91

Extremely tiny rusted dent in the middle of the bonet, impossible to notice. Everything seemed to be in perfect condition, the leather on the handbreak seemed slightly worn but other than that it looked great. Just don't like the front bumper reminds me of a bloody Ford BA or something.

PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE GUYS

Search in the Vic Section for information about these dealers mate. Don't wanna cause any trouble, but Sei Motors don't seem all that good in my opinion. Have a search and decide for yourself about these places.

Cheers

Nothing gay about the 4dr R34 NA...a pretty good upgrade from ur celica actually....

Personally I would not pick either of the above...especially with all those faults. Keep on looking is my advice...

sorry, i was at SEI, have been into power road one to look around, real arrogant c*nt when i was there, but when four young guys rock up asking for test drives you normally get that... apparently if you go with an old bloke (call him 'dad') they'll be real friendly

Yeah, I know what you mean about the guys at power rd. I always go there to check out a few cars with my brother and they never come out to 'serve' us. We just keep looking at the cars trying to make it look like we're wanting a car and they still didn't come out. Don't understand how they sell there cars. It's mostly young guys buying imports.

It seems like the shop on power rd are better quality than the ones at sei, but I would rather buy from a private person.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
