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

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
