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.

    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
