Check the national forums in regards to maint, mods and stuff for sale You'll grow into it. Just start with maintaining ur car as best u can and replacing the worn components to give it another decades worth of use. Once u got that sorted, then u can think about upgrades Looks very pretty tho. You'll have fun with it, guaranteed -D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/295429-my-first-skyline/#findComment-4925008 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSV004 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) haha cheers fellas. yeah i got the car from a dude i know who bought it from NSW i live in adelaide btw the cleaning and makings things how i like has already started with simple things like cleaning it. fixing the dash lights/ putting my dvd player in tomorrow and hooking up my subs and amps in the process. its only been a couple days, but they really are a ncie car to drive. EDIT** with the headlights ive been told i can use any polis on the outside with a buff, is this a good idea or just do it by hand?
