Hey guys bit of a newbie here but i guess we all started somewhere, anyway in the next month i am hopefull to purchase my first skyline, as i live in wagga wagga there isnt much choice down here so i was wondering what u guys recomend as the best way to purchase meaning, will cause me the least amount of hassle and still be able to get a good deal, either private buy, dealership, or importing, i am willing to travel to look at cars and to pick up after purchase but as i am working 2 casual jobs atm i would prefer not to do this too often, if it help iam looking to purchace a r32 gtst or a type m.

Thanks in advance guys any opinions or suggestions would be helpful.

what's your budget, depending on that you can go thru an import agent, or if you can spare the extra dosh and want some peace of mind, go to a dealer or make a private buy from Sydney.

A LOT of people are beginning to offload their R32's I've noticed due to their concerns over the 15 yr R32's flooding the market. Changes are coming in August that should see an end to that :( So now's the perfect time to buy as everyone's underpricing everything.

prob at the moment anything from 17k down, that would mean i could get its as soon as possible, obviously if i can get something cheaper say a cheap stock example, i would be happy then i could spend some money on some mods.

firesports.com.au and this site would have the cheapest skylines on it coz people know we know how much their car is worth and won't put bs prices on here.

      I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.

      200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.

      The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing

      Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
