New To Skylines

[suwidji]

Hey guys,

I'm in the marketto buying myself a manual r34 GT-T. It's always been my dream to own a r34, and I amcurrently saving up now, expecially since i just got my fulls recently meaning i can finally drive a turbo!!

I live in NSW, andi wanted to know pretty much everything there is to buying a skyline. I haveheard plenty of things from word of mouth and also by reading a few things onthis forum.

I have read thatthe km's are easy to wind back, but to inspect mostly the condition of theinterior of the car and not judge by km's, and i have also tried researchingwhich dealers have a good reputation.

So my questions are:

- WHO has a good reputation for selling imports (r34'smainly)?... i have heard Edward Lee's isn't very good (i read it somewhere onthis forum lol)

- HOW do i know if the skyline i am looking at islegitimately in good condition (can i perform engine compression tests byasking NRMA or something?)

-WHAT should i be looking for when buying my r34?

I want a decentquality r34, however my price range is between 14-17k. i'm looking for one thatis pretty stock (so i can modify it myself) but it wouldn't hurt to have a fewclean mods such as exhaust and body kit.

by the way, im notsure if this topic is supposed to be placed in this part of the forum, so ifit's supposed to be somewhere else, please let me know lol.

P.S i posted this topic in the automotive section, but i think it should be here. Sorry if im not supposed to double post, kinda new to forums.

Thanks guys!
