When he had it for sale on gumtree about 6mths ago and was reposted many times.
i tried to go look at it i emailed called n msg him but it just seems like he didn't wana sell it, not even a few extra photos after about 10 attempt of contacting him i got a msg for him on how his banging n bragging thats its a top import magazine bla bla bla that it.....

Seem like his advertising for his own eulogy for own satisfaction.

Same issue, contacted many times, After a few back and forth and being difficult to contact He told me to come Take it, I  organized the money and right before booking flights he told me it was sold... 3 months later updates the price(lowers it) and photos on carsales.

He was also bragging about being a Cover car for nismo .,,,, yet nothing under the bonnet is nismo lol.

While i didn't contact this seller, i can tell that, not answering the phone, not sending documents, or pretending they do have documents until you show up seems par for the course when inspecting/buying a Skyline GTR.

What was completely amazing was some people hated you if you called their phone, while others wouldn't respond to anything but texts. I just can't fathom these people. I had money ready to go as soon as I got documents and could have the car inspected. I even told them I would give them a  healthy deposit the moment they could prove kms or could show import documents.

Sadly it seems that a fair percentage of these cars are not what they are advertised. The two I saw were beaten to death, yet advertised as "good condition, suit collector, professionally built". No mention of the ruined panels or missing interiors, or the fact that they were clearly built in the driveway (just bolt ons, and not done very well). The classic effort was the changed dash and speedo. My god, the number of these was insane.

One of the blokes kept going on about how I was a racist even though i have no idea what his background was. I only knew his name, nothing else, just because I asked for documents he blew up! 

I almost gave up at one point, but i persisted and found what I was after. Keep looking you'll find something!

Never chase the seller. If he was even remotely keen to sell he would do the leg work.

It's not like it is 1OAK. There are plenty floating around the net for sale albeit much nicer too. I believe this is the same car obviously some changes have been made since.

 

Well, hopefully the airbag has been removed... Otherwise that cabin will turn into a horrible shrapnel filled box for anyone in the car in the event of an accident. I shudder to think...

As per my statement above, this type of backyard engineering seems to be pretty standard among the cars up for sale. When I look at a car and think i can do better (and i'm not exactly the most capable with a spanner), i know that the person who installed it didn't think about it enough and certainly doesn't do that type of work on a regular basis.

its drift sales-worthy people with a car thats now worth something. I'm not surprised. would be very frustrating to deal with. If i was in the market I would shop through SAU unless I was super desperate.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
