2.5L NA, 6 cyl, 140KW, 4WD, 1390kg

That power figure would be a little optimistic considering it would be 17 years old.

Not fast, not light, not fuel efficient and expansive.

I have had mine since 1998,

coming up to 196,000km and I am very very very happy with it.

Not sure why you want this as a first car. Boot is a bit small but I guess family isn't a consideration.

Rear seat doesn't have a fold down for a surfboard.

Question is , how well maintained is the one you want and what parts will need to be replaced in the next few years. Remember its 15 years young. Fuel is not as good as a modern car , and it likes premium better,but I have switched to LPG,anyway.

I would choose a turbo if I had my choice again, but it has plenty of power to get you into trouble if you haven't had a lot of experience.

The back is a bit light so be careful of it swinging out if you are careless driving.

The 4 door is not allowed into Australia unless you have owned it overseas then requested a special dispensation to import it, unlike many of the other skyline models

Huh... That's a shame, but an Autech R33 GTR 4door is ok? :wacko:

well the one I'm looking at has 83,000 k's and was imported in 2009 , need to take a drive up the coast to have a look at it but by the looks of the photos provided it looks like it's in good shape, a few scratches but what can you do really, it's pretty much stock besides the sound system and an exhaust.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
