HI Tommy,

That price is pretty decent for a R34 GT-T and it has quite a few aftermarket items, maybe you should take it in for a service and get the misfires sorted out ?

Where does the smoke come out ? the exhaust ? the engine ?

[[Tommy_R34]]

Yeah sorry guys, i forgot to mention, the smoke came out from the exhaust but only when it backfire, the engine sounds great..... thanx for the advice....

[boostimports]

bring it to a import vehicle specialist and they can get it fully check out, like check for accident damage, stuff like that..

[HKSgtst]

the smoke + backfire thing is normal for skylines ..

normally all turbo cars would have black smoke, if its white, then only you should start worrying..

the car looks good though .. $34k is pretty cheap ! go get it before someone does !

[[Tommy_R34]]

Yeah, that's a good idea but where are the Imports Vehicle Specialist in Sydney anyway???? can you please let me know..... thanks...

[akeenan]

looks good

[[Tommy_R34]]

Does anybody have anything against this car for its price??? it's my first time buying a Skyline so i don't really know much about it, My Current car is a WRX MY00... it's totally different to a skyline.....

like da rims

=)

don't rush into it. but pay soemone to look over it for accident damage, and a basic check that the car works fine.

also, remember if you are buying from a dealer, you have a statuatory 3mo wty which is pretty compehensive.

[Daz]

That is a very good price if there is nothing wrong with it. Get a specialist to look over it, if it is all good buy the damn thing.

Oh yes love the rims.

[hippy]

yeah get it looked over thoroughly ... u never know about imports ..

[franks]

this is a really good price!

black smoke coming out of an exhaust is not normal, its overfueling. with my stock ecu in my 34gtt i never had black smoke coming out of it on wide open throttle.

accident damage. hrm..its very rare to find a car (especially an import) without accident damage.

sure its nice to have a car that hasn't been in one, but as long as the chassis is straight, panels can always be fixed/replaced. you should be worrying about the quality of the repair more than anything.

nrma does alright inspections from what ive heard / experienced.

[Timmy G]

they charge more for "complex" cars (i.e. imports/turbos). i think it's like $250. it's like almost double the price of a standard inspection.

[RbHed]

my mate got charge 300 bucks to inspect a 94 skyline.. pretty thorough..

thats a good car with decent mods.... cant do much better for that price

[ac1d3o3]

yeah got a skyline inspected, had a look at it. looked fine to me but they came up with heaps of stuff. theyre really thorough and they give you their opinion about the car. they told me that it wasnt worth buying the car.

probably saved me heaps in the long run.

Take it to an a mechanic who mainly does performance cars and imports. Tell him you are interested in buying an r34 and your intentions are to take the vehicle to him for servicing/performance mods.. and could he kindly check that it doesnt have anything wrong with it.

He may do the service for close to nothing to bag you as a future customer.
