Need help

[Hungwell]

My mate is about to buy a Skyline 1992 gts-t, and we are goin to fly 2500km to pick it up and then drive it home (ROAD TRIP ). Now we both know a bit about cars and shit but dont know a lot about turbo'd cars or skylines. We are wondering what you guys think about the following and if this car is really worth the $19000. The mods include:

5 spoke 18"inch mak sting rims with Pirelli's all round (235's on the rear

and i think 225's on front)

Lowered 3" at front and 2.5" rear

Full GT-R Bodykit

3'1/2inch Jun bl exhuast straight through off turbo with flanges so a cat

can be fittied and taken out anytime

GT-R Front mount intercooler

Exterme multi-puck centre sprung cushion button heavy duty racing clutch

GT-R 400hp rated Fuel pump

HKS superflow pod filter

blow off valve

Turbosmart adjustable boost controller

Nizmo front and back strut braces

Apexi electronic rev/speed meter

Split fire boost gauge

full sony/alpine stereo with 10 stacker (tweeters, crossovers, splits and

6x9's)

Full Cheetah Alarm system and immobiliser.

Now as I said we dont know much about turbo's and was wondering if you guys and girls could tell us some of the things to look out for. As I said we both know some stuff about cars like what to check to see if it has been in accident and stuff like that but next to nothing about the turbo side of things.

Is the $19000 a good price for the car.

It has 85000 Kms on the clock

Also what are the chances of getting this thing to pass a blue slip, as it is SA registered.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The RTA failed a mate of mine for his exhaust (aftrermaket) and Pod filter....

So he needs to find a air box and fit a standard exhaust... to get the blue slip.

I'd talk to the RTA about what you want to do in regards to rego and see what they say. I'd hate to see you /your mate buy the car get it here then not be able to register it.

The seller said he has some stock parts to go with the car as he just cleared a defect on it and is losing his licence so he is selling the car. We will find out what stock parts he actually has as like you said I/we dont wanna see him spend $19000 and then not be able to rego it.

Does this price seem reasnoble?

[Lozza150]

it's cheap for a car with the amount of mod's on it....

i'd get a mechanic to look over it...even if you get the owner to take it to a workshop before you get there (and tell him you'll pay for it). Just for a bit of piece of mind.. (but that's just me)..

have fun on your road trip !!

[hippy]

yeah i'd get a good mech to look at it .. imho i think that price is high ... its only lightly modified ...

there is some nice r33's doing 12's in sau always getting sold for about 20 - 22 . id rather get these since they are SAU members. but if you like r32's then i suppose you should buy it if its the oonly way you want a r32

[MINES_DATSUN]

Hey forgot to mention. there is a few r32's in the trading section. also they are cheaper then 19K . and i would say they are better since the are owned by SAU members
