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

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
