Hey guys,

New to the forum! New to skylines as I've been a Holden fan since I could afford one. But I recently moved to QLD (approx a month ago) and want to get into skylines as I've driven one recently and love them! I have no idea what I'm looking for (Absolute n00b), what price is reasonable etc. Any input on this:

Would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers guys!

Not as common as 33 coupes, so a little different, 4door practicality, RB25DET growl and go.

Win, win, WIN !!! It's a series 1 and you can put series 2 taillights on if you wanted.

17 year old car might be good or might be a money pit, is there a work shop in your area that knows Skylines ?

Does the car have service history, where was it serviced.

Can you take it somewhere to get it checked out, put it on a hoist, do a compression test.

It will cost you a bit but its good peice of mind, the owner should only complain if there is problems with the car as it will cost him nothing but a little time.

I might still go bang though, or it might not !

Sorry, but thats how it is.

Your rear end looks good :P haha!

But mlr you're more than right on that, didn't even think about those things, you would think that if it has a RWC you're good to go, but that's not the case, maybe there's a reason why it's so cheap, yet to call the seller. I don't know how to go about it, buy a stock skyline up to 8k, or spend 15k for something modded and well looked after. For me it's a toss up lol.

Again, thanks for the insight :)

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
