You'd take a fair guess the rail would be stuffed - if so, forget it.

It'll cost more than the purchase price.

I thought you would have learnt after you were scammed 2 months ago. STOP looking for the "cheap deal".

Spend 8-10k, buy a proper car from someone you can see, and one that hasn't been destroyed.

No job + Skyline = bad idea.

$5k Skyline = another $5k to fix what's already broken and will break in future.

Buying damaged Skyline + fixing it = you'd better off buying one in OK condition for 2-3k more.

My advice, get a job first.

If you've only got 5k it would be cheaper to look at 180's,silvia's etc..

but no job no car dude... seriously.. a tank of petrol is about ~$75-80 for 300-400 kms on most skylines, as im guessing your first car will be your daily, depending on how much you use it, could be 1-2 tanks a week...

thought about public transport?

17+turbo+skyline+no job??? sounds like my tax money is going well at centrelink, sounds like bankstown here in syd ;)

but my advice, buy a normal car stock standard, not even a skyline, just some small car, cause i can bet that by the age of 20, any of your cars will have been involved in quite a few accidents.

if that money could buy experience in life, it would be a greater benefit

i use 2 have a skyline R33 but sold it because it was auto lol so now want R33 manual turbo and i only go out with the skyline friday to sunday so weekend use only lol

Last time I checked, Police Officers doesn't have weekends off.

Rule 1) Don't buy other people's problems

Rule 2) Don't buy a car you can't insure

Rule 3) Don't buy a car that you can't on-sell straight away

Rule 4) Accept the advice of those who've learnt from experience

Rule 5) Buy a car you'd be proud to show your new G/F's mother

Rule 5 - My Fiancee's mother has always called my car the "man bag" - because it goes quick, looks nice, but I have no boot and I never have more items in the car other then a laptop or uni bag.... :mellow:

Again.. Stop being a dumb arse.. if you didnt go looking to buy that too cheap nigerian R33 you wouldnt have been scammed of your first $4k.. do yourself a favour..

I'm starting to think you're a troll

Well off you go then - @ $4,000 for that car - it's a bargain.

It's $1,000 under your budget!

Your right, so lets budget this for the young fella

50$

stamp duty, but make sure you fill the transfer formout to say you only paid 800$ for the car

50$

for a slide hammer a rubber mallet and some sandpaper

100$

bog, you will need quite alot

20$

some white spray paint, 3 or 4 cans should do a proper good job

40$

for a good set of beer goggles so you think you panel beating effort was adequate.

10$

for some new windscreen wiper blades very important.

50$

for a really dodgey roadwaorthy, you may have to share some of your beer with him aswell, and dont be surprised should he ask for sexual favours, just oblige

Thats 320 big ones which leaves you 680 buckeroos, just enough to pay the 12 months rego and get stoned..

Dont worry about insurance thats only for people who crash their cars.

Tooo easy :thumbsup:

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
