Hi All,

In 19 days I'm beginning to go shopping in order to get myself a s14 200sx (I know not quite a skyline but hey its still a nissan).

At the moment I'm sifting through classifieds to see what ones are on the market. I'm running out places to look. (I'm after a stockish one [particularly no boost controllers etc] That has done around 100,000km - 120,000km MAX, my budget is around $20-25k.)

Do any of you know of some respected classifieds that aren't listed below?

Skylines Classifieds Section

www.drive.com.au

www.tradingpost.com.au

www.carsguide.com.au

www.carpoint.com.au

www.autoweb.com.au

http://cracker.com.au/

www.motorpoint.com.au

http://www.autoguide.com.au

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance

You missed my favorite one: www.carsales.com.au. Most of their adds have pics. As far as up-to-date'ness concerned Autotrader(trading post) is the best one.

Basically all those web sites would have about 90% of cars for sale. The rest are either not advertised or advertised through specialist forums (like this one).

Also try www.firesport.com I was pointed this way when i was looking for a car and found they have a lot of stuff on their, but i think once you look at the main 3 carsales, carpoint and drive, you will start seeing mostly the same cars again.

stretch yourself to 25k and buy an s15 :P

Yeah insurance would be even worse on it though and 20 is more my max but im looking at 25's to try and negotiate down to a more reasonable price

Btw, just out of curiousity, how would my premium be looking (comprehensive) with an s14

I'm 18.5 and have had no accidents or driving offences.

    • Sorry I didn’t explain myself properly, by free revving I meant if I just floor it, it gets to 7kish and will start to break up/not hit limiter properly, off boost I’ve driven the car until near on empty. I have a fuel pressure gauge mounted in the engine bay, holds fuel pressure consistently full tank or half tank even when revving, and no the pump sound doesn't change. all the fuel lines inside the tank are fairly new but will look into it, could that also be an issue with the lines outside the tank ?
    • Yeah maybe I got a bad batch that only lasted 6 years. Or conversely maybe I got a good batch that managed to last 6 years.    Either way I have sourced a set of OEM hub/bearing assemblies  so I keep hearing! Even from life long mechanics. Apparently this failure is unheard of…
    • I am trying to understand how that even happened to the hub... wtf
    • Hell, I'm sufficiently wary of the ZSS suspension arms, let alone something like a hub.
    • Got it back home and got started pulling the hub off and diagnose the issue. Axle was stuck after removing the 36mm nut so i used a 3 jaw puller to try and push it out and... eH5FXvJ8.mp4   spend the next few hours trying to remove the axle from the remaining hub as it was very much jammed in there when the spindle sheared off. resulting damage as below R53AIy6 - Imgur.mp4   Looks like the was already a stress fracturing in the spindle as can be seen with the darker cracked section My working theory is maybe when the pinion gear exploded last year the shock put through the hub was the initial crack. Then a few events later it finally let go. Just lucky it happened where it did and not 190km/h on the next sweeper or into the hairpin The bearing/hub assembly went in in 2019 and were non-genuine "ZSS" assemblies and no nails were harmed in the process. #BreakHubsNotNails
