this is def for skids,

he ran his Monaro at a bunch of go to who's and motokana's and got a nice collection of prizes but it's gone up in value too much and he wants to park it up.

has a Commo for a daily and it will be locked off street every night.

this one is kinda jumping out as he likes the Nismo body kit (and has a friendly RWC guy)

https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1998/SSE-AD-5555201/?Cr=19

 

he's wanted a R34 for ages and now the kids have left school and got jobs he decided has some money for "another" toy car. 

 

 

it must be 2 doors, and not sure if skylines will work on farm tracks to tow stuff out.

 

(he is a country small motor mechanic so has to go out to farms and pick up pumps/mowers and such.)

So the commo wagon is perfect for the job.

19k a lot for a 20 year old 'non special' Nissan BUT that guy said original importer since 2005 which means it's at least been with the one owner since then adds a lot of value in my eyes. Looks decent enough if he has the dosh. 

One thing I don't like is the fact it got retuned in July.. does this mean tuner said it's about to go pop so sell it? or was the tune changed to make it last long enough to sell?

When work won't approve any annual leave (we're talking 2-3 months in advance) so I can't take my car to shops for mods & tune :(

On another note coworkers sending me all the Subaru Memes, so many memes, so much vape.

I had this once, 3 leave requests over 12 months rejected as we were short staffed.

then had HR come and complain to me that I had too much leave outstanding.

 

was fun watching the 2 argue, but I got rid of that boss 6 months later.

Went to that JDM picnic car show thing at Heidelberg the other day, was a decent turnout a lot of cars and variety.

It was no R34 GTR + TE37 only meet though. (feat. security guard)

Also why am I seeing Ukrainian single ladies ads on SAU (I'm at work) haha. 

Simon you been makin' some deals? ?  or has someone been browsing on my work computer ?

That's exactly what I've already got haha, the G920 is good budget wheel but really lacks the 'spin back' when you try drifting etc. You look at some of these Fanatec wheels and they behave exactly like a real car wheel would.

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
