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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

      Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

      I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
