hmm.. well the skyline army grows!!

Managed to convince my mate to buy a Skyline, and after looking at crappy old magnas, lancers, etc which really were all pretty bland when he looked at this GTS4 he bought it! Its an RB25DE, but he wasn't really after the extra costs of a turbo. Had all the options, and well when you do the math basically the best featured car for the price really.

1994 R33 GTS4, with 10 stacker CD, manual, and the cleanest interiors i have ever seen! Factory floor mats were like new, and not one scratch on the interior at all.. truly immaculate. Definitely genuine 77,000km. Stock as an absolute rock, as it came in under the new scheme.

Now this is two mates who have bought skylines since i have - haha. My mate in Melb bought a R33 GTR end of last year after going in mine enough times. Guess they know what is the best car for the $$ out there these days :)

now I just got this other mate in melb, who was thinking of getting another car, and has almost being convinced to get a liner too :) although not sure whether he is going to sell his car now :)

Next on the list is a 97-98 GTR for me :) Not for awhile yet tho, and one of my mates will probably buy my gtst, cos i want it looked after, considering all the moolah and time ive spent on her!

Anyways, pred.. Hows dave going with your car?

My mate is on the goldcoast.. There would be a few around though, in fact there is a marone one up my road with a kit which i had a chat to recently. He is always driving around, 'nother bloody loud one for n/a too! :)

I reckon the non-turbo is a reasonable option, about $5k cheaper and things. Still a nice car, but only thing lacking is the power mainly. Looks the same after all.

Will be interested to see how my mates handles with the ATESSA GTS4 option. Stagea engine swap is also a possibility to give you a RB25DET 4WD -- but i doubt he will be in for that :)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
