Hi all,

I am in a position to purchase a stock standard (Exhaust and Wheels ok) Skyline. Here are my must have's:

  • Must be stock, with the exception of exhaust and mag wheels although I would prefer standard exhaust.
  • Must have less than 100k on the odometer and be able to prove it.
  • Must be manual.
  • Everything else must be stock standard and must have RWC. Whilst I would prefer one with rego I can fix that up.

I don't care too much what colour it is although I am not fond of the grey ones. I would prefer a car with no extra gauges in the cockpit, the standard ones should be fine. An after market cluster is fine but you must be able to prove the K's on it and before it was fitted.

I a have the cash ready to go but am happy to wait for the right car. I will want to test drive first and do all the normal checks (REV's and Car History).

Please PM me with details and photo's. Please include photo's of the interior and engine bay.

I am happy for a discussion in this thread on any prospects.

Cheers,

Richard.

Haha glad you can play along.

Anyways 100,000km on a R33 is very very unlikely

Even if you do find one the chances of someone being able to prove to you its correct are slim.

Just do the usual checks and take it to a place to do a compression check.

All the cyl show around 155-160 then its fine.

Or you could buy a 34 for a good price.

Why do you want a 1997?

I am after a 33 or a 34, just figured a 34 would be out of my price range of around 8 - 12k, preferably closer to the 8k. Also in the GTS-T and GT-T models I prefer the body shape than the 34's. Having said that I would give up my clubby for a r34 GTR. :woot:

Logbooks with < 100 000kms is going to slim to none!

Compression test is much more important than kms on a car i think.

I bought a stock 97 grey skyline only 2 months ago and i payed a premium! (No way its going to cost 8K)

As close as you will get!

There is more to a car than just the motor. Drive train gets affected by the number of k's a car does as well. Gear box wear, diff, bearings etc.

I have seen 97 models for sale at the 8k mark with about 100k on them, some a fraction over (which would be ok) and some a fraction under. I can go higher as well. Like everyone I want the world and don't want to pay anything for it. Not saying I won't. :rolleyes:

Yup, have seen that.

Again with the silver/grey.. Yuk. (Sorry pat). Just not my thing.

My preferential colour is Burgundy.

I have seen a few on carsales with under 100k on the OD at about 9.5 to 10k. I would assume I can get a little off that as well. Like I said in my OP, I am happy to wait for the right car.

Also I like the interior on the 97 r33 as well, the seats look neater than the velvet/velour in the older ones. Just sayin.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
