$23k less than a year ago

fmic, boost, kit, zeal suspension, HKS exhaust sys, 77,000km..

No problems whatsoever.. i'm glad i didn't buy a heaps cheaper one, although at the time it was still a bit more than quite a few gts-t out there. Was a bit nervous at first, but after a few months i knew i had a pretty good example.

All my wiring burnt out and started a fire in mine one day thanks to some VERY VERY dodgy gauge wiring. My advice - don't get one with a ton of aftermarket gauges fitted. Maybe even no aftermarket stereo. The effort on my car was certainly a bad home job, not professionally done. I've heard this is fairly common in Japan.

The rest of the car has been perfect. It had 100,000km (apparently :()on it at the time I bought it. Goes well and hasn't ever broken down.

I paid about $20K for mine 2 years ago (which was cheap at the time), so you might want to do what predator says and pay that bit extra for a good quality one, or go my way and hope it's a quality example.

I gotta agree with this. I've seen plenty of cars here with some seriously dodgy aftermarket guage wiring - cables twisted together by hand and the like!

I personally would avoid cars with loads of extra gauges and cabling lying around the interior...

got mine for $23K 2 years back, 94 model with 53,000 km.

only thing it had wrong with it was the wheel well was dented, easily fixed with a hammer and a bit of would, they must have hit a low pole caused nothing else had been panel beated or replaced!! bit of a bagain :(

I bought it from a wholesaler in Brisbane. It was stock standard apart from the Nismo strut brace and brake master stopper, hks turbo timer and side skirts. Im the first owner in Aus.

Ive since put a set of 17" rims, type-m front bar, safc2, boost guage, bleed valve, 3" exhaust, stereo etc....maybe looking at selling it soon.

23k for my 93 model with 80ks. Was relatively stock and didnt have much problems,except the timing was out.

But after i put some mods in,the engine started to wear out really bad,., ie.piston rings,., but that was my fault

anyway a good deal if u buy a nice clean standard one

Hey,

Bought mine at the start of this year, imported and received it in late June/July.

94 GTST totally stock - $14.3k on road.

suspensions - $800

stereo - $1200

insurance - $2K

service - $150

Look on the guy in HSV I hosed the other day......priceless :)

There are many things which money can buy.........but nothing beats a skyline

So yeah, get one, they're great fun. I've had no problems with mine concerning reliability. Just invest in things such as a turbo timer etc etc and you should be fine

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
