Anyone who has a angle-mounted intercooler has to be a pretty keen drift fan. And it looks from the state of the seat that it has been used in that way for quite a few years, and often.

I think you're all being just a little harsh, someone has spent a lot of money on that car (V mount set-ups aint cheap), but yes it's obviously been driven very hard that doesn't mean it's crap or hasn't been looked after though. It's great how you guys (looks at siksII here)can make such judgements on cars from another country, without seeing it in the flesh, or driving it. BTW I'm not saying it's a great car, I'm just saying I'd reserve judment on it untill I'd either had someone inspect it for me, or driven it myself. So hard to judge from a couple of pics and a few line of description.

pft kids.. i could slap a $1000 paint job on a completely ****ed skyline, some nice rims, clean up the engine bay and you'd all say it was "oh wow".. that was till the engine or gearbox blew a few weeks later. And yet my 20 year old daily that is 20 years old, does look like a piece of crap, and i bought for next to nothing gets thrashed everyday and is reliable as rocks. So there is no definitive way to tell unless you actually take it for a drive or get a mechanical inspection.

There are two possible reasons why somebody sells a car like that:

a) They know something you won't until its too late

B) They simply got bored of it, or want the cash. Then generally a local buyer would have bought it i'd imagine.

Anyway, who knows.. who cares!

It depends what you want the car for. If you want a drift car, its probably great. If you want a daily driven street car, I would be very careful.

Personally I wouldn't touch it, but I don't want a drift car.

Edit: Oh, and replacing the RB with the SR makes quite a bit of sense for drift.

true statement :)

it all about what ur going to use the car for

but it sure isnt an everyday drive.. :mad: it doesnt even have a radio :D

i would only buy this car if i was a huge drift fan, but still would have second thoughts cause of its history

it would be intresting to see how this car will preform on the track and its power/weight ratio

      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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      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.
