Hey im new ish i guess, and im about to buy my first car which as the topic description says Its a 99 Skyline r34gt 2 Door Non turbo which is good because i cant drive turbos (P plates) I had a look at it last weekend and the exterior is in pretty good condition other then few chips here and there. The interior is in rather good condition to just needs a good clean and detail. Everything with it checks out, not stolen etc etc, He had a accident recently with a kangaroo lol...Only damage though was to the front kit and a bar just behind the kit was bent slightly, but its all being replaced/fixed under insurance as we speak. Very very smooth drive aswell, rather amazed actualy...

Only thing is hes selling it for $14,000? :P it seems oddly cheap? i could be wrong but... what do you guys reakon?

All stock except a aftermarket muffler.

Uh whoops ive posted in the wrong section...sorry, could a mod please move this to General Automotive Discussion

The interior may be nice but you'll be better off getting the underside of the car checked. That's where the real damage will show, if there's any at all. There's a terrific thread in another forum about What to look for when buying a Skyline.

Good luck with your purchase!

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
