LS400 likely isn't legal. V8. If they were, I would've suggested it, I loved my old Celsior, shit was awesome.

Hence my suggestion of a GS300.

But it really sounds like he's made up his mind.

Go buy a 34 GT, cover it in stickers, put some shit wheels on it, and make some noise about a supercharger conversion in a couple years time.

do i sense some sarcasm dave..lol (I was waiting for the goldfish pond addition )

action plan

  1. get a skyline,
  2. get defected 4 times in as many months,P's are magnetic to red and blue lights on any car let alone a skyline
  3. get it stolen, forget to put in alarm,
  4. get .....oops...forgot .. insurance , couldnt afford it..
  5. kiss your 10k good bye. and the money to regency is just a bonus ass rape without vasolene ......only legal in the eyes of the state.. they are doing a public sevice keeping the roads and cars safe from JDM...lol
  6. thank you come again

its a twisted kinda a love affair in a way (love my skyline), aurgue about it (police/regency... but it was legal), then break up affair( found burned out ) start again with a new one(repeat proceess after loosiing a bunch of money)

so I'd wait a few years , end of the world next year anyway..lol buy 10k worth of booze and women instead for the end of world party

really I do love the car but if I was on P's in the nannystate I'd think twice

^^ As I said earlier

Let's just help him find a good n/a & mod it up etc, would still be fast.

Take a look at Luke's, his ENR34 will have 450rwkw, who says n/a is gutless :)

How'd u guys know?? Doesnt matter anyway I wont be attracting any attention from cops or thieves after I'm finished with it anyway: just paint it light metallic green, 20 inch chromies, white tribal vinyl on the sides and some white racing stipes :D

But seriously I've had it RAA checked and it's come up with a few things, was wondering if you guys could help me out by telling me how much these things will cost remembering I'll have to pay for labour.. Also any ideas where to get the best prices.. I've looked it up and estimated what I think the prices will be

Left front radius bush is leaking ($300)

Front and Rear shock absorber dust boots are worn out ($240)

Wear evident to left front tie rod joint. Also tie rod and ball joint and dust boots are worn out

Oil leaks to either; rocker cover, cam seals, crank seals and head gasket

Rear brake pads ($300)

Front and rear disc rotors are glazed ($300)

Drive belts

Passnege window and passenger side mirror broken

Cheers guys

Just checking, you are kidding, right?

On a more serious note, I doubt the headgasket would be leaking, would probably be the valve cover gaskets, they always seem to leak on RB's lol.

Rear brake pads don't cost $300.

Its all pretty minor IMO, what makes him say it needs drive belts?

Edit: Do a full '100,000km' service and that will fix up the cam and crank seals, and the timing belt (which he may have reffered to as a drive belt if he was old, lol)

Edit Edit: PM RubyRS4 on here, he would be able to do most, if not all, of that stuff.

Haha nah mate u kno it'd look mad :D hahaha.... Prob b the best skyline in SA don't you rekon?

Yeh he was fairly old so prob what he was meaning... Alright yeh I have to get a full service anyway so sounds good.

How much do u think the brake pads will cost? Because i was looking up one that were from GTTs n they were $300.. Yeh the bloke said it was all minor but I have to get brake pads and fix the radius bush, dust boots and tie rods don't i? Tbh ive got no idea wat tie rods are anyway lol..?

So all up roughly how much do u think it might all take to fix? And what would u pay for the car.. 130k on it.. Gotta buy new tyres ( buying mags anyway) and about $800 painting i have to spend on it

Cheers mate

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
