hey im a new user wasnt too sure where to ask this so il put it here

i dont no much about skylines and need some advice on wether this is a good buy or not

im looking at buying a R32 GTS-t auto

engine is very stock

standard wheels

paint is average with a large spot of clear coat peeling off around fuel flap

chrome on the front grille and other places is also peeling off

the interior is pretty shabby also the steering wheel leather is coming off and there is a reasonable amount of rips in the seats

hes asking $6000ono... cheap for a 32 ...but considering the interior and paint is it worth the money?

just loking for some opinions from people with skyline experience

Condition of the interior is meh, can always just chuck GTR seats and a Nardi in and theres the interior problems you speak of sorted. Paint would be a bit of an issue if you had no plans for tracking it or a respray later on.

Just check everything is aight mechaincally, as thats where the dollars are if it fks up.

if the look like its in pritty bad shape i'd have to question the condition of the engine and suspension arms/bushes.

6k might be cheap but i think if you really want a 32 save up a bit more and get one that is in better condition, i know i'd be happier with a car that has good paint and interior.

If your a mechanically minded person who can spray paint fairly well and can get contacts for parts then this sounds like a nice project car.

That said I am with QWK32, if the exterior is bad, the interior is bad, chances are it will have received very little care and attention. Buy it knowing that your going to have to fix something and keep a slush fund just in case. Alternatively spend the slush fund on a better car - your call.

poor thing

seen better days

just waiting for someone to feel sorry for it

...but ya never know! It might be just sun-damaged. The engine might be like new! Services all done? No rust?

Motto:- BE CAREFUL

thanks guys, i really couldnt find out much about the car when i went and saw it because the owner lives out in the country so he left it at his brothers house for people to come look and he didnt no squat about it apparently the owner is an engineer so he probly knows what hes doing to the engine if he thrashes it

its a 2door

the owner said in the ad it has all service reciepts

my uncle owns a panel beaters..but not sure on how cheap hed respray for

i checked the rear mudflaps and there was a little rubber there... (from burnouts)...but could have been his brother thrashing it just the one time he drove it

i think i might say to him if you get desperate il offer $4000 because i cant justify paying 6 for sloppy cosmetics

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
