anyways i had a thought about selling my skyline, so i put it on ebay, all calssifieds, and sau with a swap/cash adj. so far i'v been offered a 89 r23 gts with 245k on the clock :P , a unfinished show car, a custom civic hatch with hectic coilovers, and a sic mr2 with a bodykit and rims. (if anyone who offered me any of these cars reads this i don't mean to offend you). but it just shows how much our skylines have devaluated in australia. so in all ends im going to keep my skyline and continue to poor my money :P because nothing beats driving a 12yr old import that is quicker than the new flacodores,

/rant lol

I don't understand.................they go hard [easily as hard as most modern cars], they have all the fruit - abs, climate control, power eveything etc etc, they have one of the biggest after market support bases so you can get just about anything you want, they still look absolutely the best [i actually hate the modern all angles and sharp creases], they are as or more reliable than a modern, tuned right you get over 500km out of a tank on the highway [and pushing 280+rwkw], they pull crowds like free plasma tv's, they handle as good as anything out there, if you write it off [prang, stolen, fire] your only down $15K and a good cry, and the list goes on............why would you want to sell???

At the present rate I reckon it will take the rest of the car industry a couple of light years to catch up. The only threat to the skyline market is the new GTR. Once it becomes s/h and cheaper, it will overtake and out strip the market [trust me I've seen this with other makes and types], but that is at least 10 years away.

That's all part and parcel of selling a car mate.

yes i know that very well the line is my 3rd car, not to mention how many bike i'v been through ans sold. i what i ment by stupid offers is one guy wanted to swap a r32gts with 245k on the clock and bald tyers plus $850 my way lol

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
