simonwood0609 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) NOOB WARNING Hi Forum,WTB: Skyline R32 / R33 / R34 Turbo or similar 6 cylinder Turbo (Silvia / Coupe) First post here, I've been lurking for a while. I've owned a few cars throughout my life, but always wanted a Skyline / drifting coupe. Finally that day has come. Recently married, kid on the way, this is my last chance to get one, own it for a couple of years, then sell it before upgrading to a tarago / people mover. With a stack of sweet talking, my wife has agreed to let me buy a coupe > and I'm keen on R33 GTS-T's (but open to other cars). My budget isn't great, she suggested 5k but I know it's going to take a bit more than that to get a good condition car. I'm looking for that "sweet deal" - so I'll probably have to sit back and watch forums/classifieds for a few months to find a nice condition R33 GTST (or something similar) for $6k - $8k. If anyone out there is selling their loved Skyline, and wants to help a depressed Ford EL driver out (I'm sick of my car going to the mechanic every fortnight), post specs, pics, and asking price below. If it's going to need a bit of money spent on it, list what needs repairing and how much it'll likely cost. I'm open to other cars, my first car was a KE70 and I'd love a decked out one of those. Priority? Fun + Sideways + sounds good. Any advice / help / offers appriciated.

DJBarnstar Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Be warned, whatever you pay for it, you will need to double the $ to keep it on the road. 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/456542-wtb-skylinesilvia-turbo-first-last-time-wife-rules/#findComment-7532243 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happier to spend money on a car I love than a car I hate. Little mods / upgrades / upkeep is fine by me.

zebra Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Broken oil pumps, spun bearings, blown turbos, dodgy crank angle sensors and flaky ignition systems f**k YEAH SKYLINES!!!@! lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/456542-wtb-skylinesilvia-turbo-first-last-time-wife-rules/#findComment-7532554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkie Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 s-chassis cars are fun for the money too. i have one so i'm biased, but the best value right now are the series 1 S14's, just buy a lightly modded car and keep it simple. not much breaks on them besides rattly vct gear and dud fuel pumps, rest is usual wear and tear from age and mileage Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/456542-wtb-skylinesilvia-turbo-first-last-time-wife-rules/#findComment-7532576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
