Hi Guys!

Ok i've finally saved up enough $$$ to buy a car......with only one car in mind....a r33 skyline. I've had a look at one and i thought i'd run it past you guys first just to make sure its a good deal because i dont know much about skylines.

Here are the specs:

1993 R33 4 door

Gun Metal Grey

Non turbo

T bar Auto

160,000 kms

Air conditioner doesnt blow cold air...i've been told a $40 regass will fix this?

16 inch nissan rims ( 1 back tyre needs replacing.....weird i would of thought both back tyres would be bald at the same time?!?)

upgraded twin muffler exhaust

The interior is pretty good apart from a ciggie burns on the drivers seat

The body work is in good condition apart from a small dent on the passenger door

The price i have been quoted is $21,999. To afford this I will have to get together a few extra grand, what do you guys think so far?

let me know

Lamba

Non turbo 4 door auto?

i wouldnt pay 12k for that

Those things are lemons of the skyline world in terms of resale potential/demand

the car specs u listed and the price the guy is asking is way overpriced...

You could pick a 93 non turbo auto 4 door up for 12k to 15k depending on mods

however the one u listed is AUTO and NON TURBO FOUR DOOR...

Heres a general price guide obvously depending on condition and mods etc etc:

1993 - 1995 series 1 4 door non turbo auto = 11k to 14k max

1993 - 1995 series 1 4 door turbo auto = 12k to 16k max

1993 - 1995 series 1 4 door turbo manual = 14k to 18k

1993 to 1995 series 1 2 door turbo manual = 14k to 20k+ (mods)

Mate u are getting ripped hard!!!! I got my skyline for 24 and it was wored and only done about 3000km from engine rebuild (not fake km either) i suggest u have a look at this forum and have a read of it got some really good advise on buying a skyline... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=35129

keep looking around man till you find something a bit cheaper or with a bit of good work done on it and in a good clean condition...

i got my car for $14000 n/a manual 2 door.

so as everyone else has said, dont buy!

and check the link that the good man meggala has posted, think about it, $15000 on the car, and $5000 for everything else (mods, insurence etc)

SRV is a god!!! :P

ok that aside, that is the biggest rip ever. Is this a private sale, import yard?? If this is a business asking that much, if they are dodgy enough to put that price on, i don't know if you could trust anything else they have.

please stay away from the car unless he wants to chop $10K off the price :D

cheers

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
