Hey guys,

Well I got 15K back, as it actually wasn't needed for the deposit....but the car is sold now anyway :@

I am currently looking at one, it's in very good condition, quite, smooth ride, went through the checklist on the "Buying a Skyline - What to look for?" thread, the only thing I noticed was some bolts were scratched on the engine, it was imported New Years last year, owner let me look at the import papers etc.

Here is a pic of the actual engine bay,

You can't see them in the pic, but they are along there.

They aren't worn or anything, the are actually in very good shape, but they have little scratches on them, should I be worried about this, or is it normal?

EDIT:

Also noticed the brakes don't have covers?

Like a "Nissan" or "Skyline" logo on them.

Probably wouldnt be worried as they were probably removed for maintence or to check something. Bolts get damage as soon as they are touched so seeing as its not brand new i would expect it to have had a few bolts removed and refitted. And i cant tell you but i would assume because its the base model??? it has cheapo brakes which generally dont have a tag on them

Thanks for clearing that up :D

It most likely is the base model, in that case there shouldn't be a problem.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
