Buying v35

Hi

Im not the best with cars but I'm looking to buy a 2002 nissan skyline v35 250gt.

I found one for sale from a private seller priced at $6000. I'm just worried about the odometer as its only got around 80000km on it. the guy said its an import and I've heard many imported cars have tampered odometers. the car itself runs pretty good and looks well kept though.

does this sound reasonable?

$6,000 seems quite cheap

I thougt the price wasn't cheap - it is an early model & a 250 (not 350) GT. The cheapest one on Carsales is $3500.

At that price range I don't think I'd worry about a history check, but I would want to have the car checked by someone who knows a bit about them.

250GT are pretty much worthless these days, its the base model of the whole V35 range and the least powerful... but, you get a lot of car for the money and they are a pretty damn good daily - quiet, well built, comfortable, fairly cheap to run and pretty decent to drive

ours has been pretty much trouble free for the past 5 years, only needing servicing and brake pads/disks. just keep in mind that they need 98 octane fuel and will also get carbon buildup due to being direct injected.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
