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.

    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.

    • It's all about the socialisation of the dogs. In that first 8 to 16 weeks of age they need to be taught to be nice and friendly with everything. That way they generalise it to everything. That said, some days you'll just never beat genetics, but 99% of the time dogs chasing cats is purely lack of socialisation, and then the chasing part can turn into prey drive.
    • I bench bled my HFM BM57 before installing, it leaked badly. Threw it in the bin, because I installed it 2 years after purchase.
