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

The White one...

Just cooz I personally like the look of a Series 2 over a Series 1 but is your call...

im with this guy, the red one looks too....well....different. im always weary of a car that has been sprayed, patched or "refreshed". not always a bad thing, but are you willing to spend your money to find out??

Mmm yeah I understand, well really I want to be able to get in the car and drive it without having to fix anything or have to worry about things constantly

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

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

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.

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 :(

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

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

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
