33GTRV Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 why was the re car resprayed? why was it rebuilt? why the new front bar? ask yourself this. If you are still keen, ask him/her this. Looks to be the type of car that gets molested often, but then again, most skylines look like that. i do personally know of one thats super clean, driven like its a dihatsu and is always garaged thats possibly for sale. Its my bosses wifes car. 33 gts-t M spec with 17x8 and 17x9.5's. standard EVERYTHING else. pm me for more info Cheers, Allan Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380962-ok-final-stretch/#findComment-6074981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinistaGTR Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Get both checked out, your comparing a 94 200000+km car with a 98 120000km car. The obvious choice is the 98 looks clean, newer car, less kms. As I said get it checked out by. Decent workshop. Also think resale, Newer car with less kms will always sell quicker over a modded older model with more kms Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380962-ok-final-stretch/#findComment-6075306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunta Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 The rebuilt one is tempting, IF it was done by a workshop I know and trust, there is more value there. That said the white one does have some nice high quality parts has recently had the expensive services done. Hmm bit of a toss up for me but I would probably go for the red one as it has some big ticket items that the white one does not, Ie the rebuild, the turbo and the computer which would cost you many thousands of dollars to buy and install Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380962-ok-final-stretch/#findComment-6076504 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflector Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I personally would be going for the 1998 40th Anniversary Edition. Going by the description (and the photos) it appears the owner has spared no expense at maintaining the car to a reliable standard. The owner has used quality parts for most upgrades and just having done a major timing belt service, new coil, plugs etc... suggests to me they have taking great pride in their car. The red one looks nice, very presentable underbonnet layout and has quite a few mods done to it. With what's been installed, it would more than likely be possible to get it tuned for a higher kw output. That being said like others have pointed out, why the rebuild? And I recall seeing this car on here, would be curious to know why the owner would spend $Xxxx on a full re-build then sell it... I think you'd receive more attention from the boys in blue with the red one. Ultimately it comes down to what YOU are after... Personally: 1998 - Clean looking, quality parts, well maintained, room for upgrades, newer model and (if genuine) less kms 1994 - Presented nicely for show, possibility of increasing power with additional tune, most mods (including wheels and body kit already done. Make sure you check log books and service history for both vehicles, and if you can, do a revs check to make sure everythings in order. My two cents.

Isola Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I agree that the red one looks like a cop magnet. And when they get you to open that bonnet and see all the blue and all the shiny... whooooo boy... hope you got a spare 15mins or so while they go through everything, then probably defect you for the boost controller. ...bastards Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380962-ok-final-stretch/#findComment-6078501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilorichie Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I would go for the 1998... The only thing that would make the red one more of a cop magnet would be no wing imo... With all the shiny shit under the bonnet I wouldn't want to drive it around too often lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380962-ok-final-stretch/#findComment-6078658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy-Bastard Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 From my experience once an engine has been opened that's when the problems start...I'd steer clear of the red one The white one looks clean and tastefully modified with quality parts, that would be my pick Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380962-ok-final-stretch/#findComment-6080023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
