Hi I am thinking of buying another Skyline. I did have a nice R34GTT however it caught alight and burnt to the ground. Thank God for Shannons. The question is what should I expect to spend. I have seen a nice 370 GT asking price ,private,$270000.Is this a fair price given it is 5 years old.

Cheers

Steven

Why would you not post pics, km and specs, so we can give you a real opinion? If it has 200,000km, then it is a crap deal. If it has 10,000km it is amazing deal, but has probably been wound back.

Welcome to the forums, but please use your brain when you put up a new thread.

I would try to negotiate down to $240K AUD, that would be a massive saving. With the $30K you'd save, you could even buy a second one - lol.

I notice you did not have a R34 GT base spec....so why go base spec V36?

Buy mine, I will take about $235K off what you are expecting to pay....

Just go to the carsales/whatever ad, select and right click all the text in the address bar at the top of your screen (the www....... bit), then in the reply window of SAU hit the 'link' button just above where you are typing (it looks like the link of a chain) and press 'control+v' keys to paste the address, hit 'ok', then hit 'Post'

For $27,000 it is going to be either deal of the century or an absolute piece of crap.

At that price i would imagine that it wouldn't be an SP, would have higher kms and/or have a pretty low auction grade.

Post up more detail though, who knows.

This must be the one that you mean.

Listed as Type S but based on the small wheels and lack or MT or paddle shift, as mentioned above I think that you will find that it is actually just a base model 370GT. For $27,000 its still not necessarily a bad buy but it is the lowest range 370GT that you can get.

      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?
