Hey Guys,

I'm thinking about buying a Skyline 1989 GTS-4, im new to the skyline scene so yer i need to know

what a good price is and what i need to look for when doing the exception. I'm also going to have

a mechanic look at it if I cant seem to find anything wrong with it.

The car as stated before is a 1989 Skyline GTS-4.

4 doors

Turbo

120*** Km's

Auto

The guy is asking $7000 but i knocked him down to $6000

Just want to know your guys opinion on this car and if this is a good price.

Also a question for the people that have a GTS-4 who is your insurance company?

Thanks :nyaanyaa:

ok ive found and read the " New To The Skyline Scene?" topic and read most of it and found what to look for when

buying a skyline it was quite the good read.

But im still stuck with wondering if I'm paying the right price for one?

So a little help here guys with if its good value or not would be great, i will be getting some photos of the car tonight and will be

chucking them up so you can have a look at the condition of it.

Cheers

Redbook tends to put (sometimes rather unrealistically) rather low values on most cars, but auto Skylines are generally worth a lot less than the manual ones. I imagine an auto GTS-T or GTS-4 w/ RB20 would also be extremely slow, hence making them cheaper.

I have a 32 4 door GTS-4, they are not super quick but they are a nice car...i have a 34 turbo on it and arc side mount with exhaust...very bad down low but better over 3-4000 rpm. for what i want it for its perfect (even though i have an RB30 block on the work bench at home) i also pay $1100 a year for full comprehensive insurance with Famous

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
