I don't think the Australian contingent on here can really help answer the question of value, over here we would not pay more than 8,000 or maybe 10,000 aussie pesos but r32 gtst are readily available here....

Also don't trust the millage on any Skyline. Assume they all have had the clocks been wound back to what it currently shows,  then focus on the condition of the car, how well it's been cared for and how it's been used.

There is no way that that has been only 120k km since about 2002!!! Lolz.

Also, it does not have GTSt seats in it, so consider that it might have been built up out of something else. I  would check the VIN on the GTR registry. See what pops up. Nissan FAST also good for that.

The car doesn't look too bad. The oil weep around the HICAS solenoids is not great. But there's too little else to go on.

In the fourth picture, the left hand side looks a bit rusty and should be looked into - also the compliance plate is missing or did i miss it? The pictures of underneath do not look too bad, but overall i'd say do not rush into it. Better examples out there for sure.

You can always go for a japan car history report and save yourself a headache - normally gives km's, accident history etc.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
