If you cannot provide the details of the guy who reverses into you, then yes you have to pay the excess for the claim. As for my car, no mate, it's an R32 :thumbsup: Not a 34.

Tell-tale signs of cars being thrashed, always check the rear inside guards for rubber (no one ever cleanes it off), clutch feel if manual, diff feel when driving (acceleration mainly) check to see if the brake discs are warped heaps (will feel a shudder when slowing down), if the car has a PowerFC, does it ping much? and if so is it pinging while warm? Hope that helps a little, other fellas will be able to fill you in a bit more :D

thanks for the heads up. Not too sure what the PowerFC does and how it pings tho. Don't know much about these technical stuff yet.

yeah need anything David, just give me a PM, can sort it out for you.

I can't pm yet i need 10 posts minimum.

I've been here for about 2 years already. Been driving a 91 celica to get around but my gf's parents have been complaining about how old the car is already (you know singaporeans if cars are 10 years old they're too old) So, i wanna get the gt-t now since its time for a change. My initial plan was to use my car till i could afford a GTR but i guess i have to settle with a GT-T for now. And yes, i've done my time in the army. Have you?

Guess what guys, i made a deal with one of the GT-T owners to get the car. If all goes well, i might very well own my first skyline! Is the RAC check any good? Should i bother getting it done? My gf's parents are a bit apprehensive about getting the car without checking it professionally.

Some people are apprehensive about unprotected sex before marriage - they're called tightasses.

Its not a bad idea to get one if you're a noob, but the RAC checks arent what people make them out to be, when it comes to Skylines they really dont check alot of relevant stuff, they often things in the check, etc.

If you can find a Skyline guru to go laong with you and check it out, do so.

^^ would give that one a miss unless it was modded and the steering wheel somewhat belonged there.

If you have the VIN/Chassis and Engine No. and/or the rego, ring up REVS and do an over the phone check, takes 60 seconds tops.

Also, if the vehicle was ever registered in another state, ring REVS in that state and check there too.

i don't know what 'belongs there' really means but momo is a sports steering wheel, so i assume its supposed to 'belong there'? what do u guys think?

Also, regarding the REVS, The owner of the car bought the car from a dealer so i would think he's the first owner here in australia? Whats the number for REVS anyway, i think i'll give it a go. By VIN you mean Vehical ID right?

By belongs there, I meant if it had other typical high performance mods, the steering wheel wouldnt stand out like a dogs balls in the open as a sign of dodgey-ass-salesman.

Those gauges arent stock on GT-Ts or GT-Rs are they ??

Strut Brace, pods, wheel and gauges...maybe it isnt a dodgey.

Should be a few SoR members on here willing to check it out with you, otherwise I can if you want, but I say keep looking around man, I know its hard to look for a car the same time you're a member on a forum like this, its easy to get excited and want to rush a purchase, but dont :D

Dealer or importer? if its importer he'd be the first owner, but not a dealer.

REVS should still pick up financial write-offs that have been repaired since, if its still registered obviously it hasnt been entered as a structural.

Google REVS WA or just REVS, by VIN/Chassis number I mean the number on the firewall, you'll still need the engine number (located passenger side just before the bell housing (pretty sure its the same spot for the 20s / 25s?), and a rego number helps, REVS may be able to give you some vehicle history as well like other states it was registered/imported in, etc.

Those gauges look to be the stock GT-T gauges... Id say the car isnt dodgy, but aftermarket steering wheels can cause a lot of problems with insurance and things. Not to mention the fact that it doesnt have an airbag and isnt going to keep you safe in a crash. Personally i would keep looking there are plenty of very nice GT-T's out there. Maybe have a look in the for sale section on here, see the GT-R being sold for 32? Omg so jealous of whoever ends up getting that car!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
