They will not be the genuine Kms , they all come over like that ! never over 90,000kms , check what mods have been done and where they done ie: Which shop did the work , you could then ring them and ask about it .

Take it to a shop yourself and get them to look at it !

then all the usual used car junk that you do.

or you could just buy mine !!!!! Skylines Australia car of the month for October !

$25k is abit on the rich side especially since it is stock although it is from an importer/dealer so you may be able to talk them down afew $k.

For $25k i'd want something in absolutely mint condition, not a single mark or scratch making over 220rwkw before i'd even open both eyes at it but then again you may want a totally stock car.

Save your money and buy a '94-'96 for around $16-20k that already has a sound system, exhaust and maybe wheels etc. For example my '95 has 100,000km on it and is slightly modified and I want $19k. To take your '97 from stock form to where my '95 is (mods) would cost you a solid $8k ($25k + $8k = $33k for an R33 GTS-t = *ouch*) and it's still only pushing 190rwkw.

If I had $25k to play with i'd be looking at a '91-'93 R32 GTR or a heavily modified R33 GTS-t with all the work already done.

:P

thats fine, but its gonna be the missus car, i really dont want it doing 190kw, and i like that year body shape without going for a 99 model, and i do prefer a stock car and even if it costs more to do the little things that make a car, at least i know whats there, like if i was to get a car with 250kw at the wheels, you dont know whats inside of it and weather they took the cheap way out and used budget internals or decient stuff.

so i am the kind of person who likes to preform my own mods at my trusted mechanic, the main point is i am after a reliable car...

and in comments with the price, the window price was 29990, which i reall thought was high!!! and he has come down to 25,000, now i put this down to the fact that it is a 1997 model, they are going to put 19" Drift R wheels on it, and its only 66,000 kms, but like i said i am only new to imports and the last skyline i own'd was an 89 which i had no drama's what so ever, i only hope the new car will do the same.

But in regards to the power, i currently have a 2003 BA FPV GT-P with 257rwkw, but trouble is the car is really heavy 1.9ton to give a figure, but we are looking to sell it and then i will be purchasing a car for myself, just havint decided between TwinTurbo Supra or Skyline, mainly i am looking towards Autosalon and competing in the sound comp, and looking to beat the australian record of 163Db, a hatch is really good for this purpose, but i lub the look of the skyline, Damn why must there be so many nice cars around!!!!!

In that case being for the missus you could save even more money. Quite easily get a stock car (maybe air filter and exhaust at the most) for $16-18k (94-96 model). A $30k window price for a '97 (last year model of the R33 GTS-t's) is absolutely outrageous.

I'd suggest spending an hour in the 'For Sale' section and your eyes might open slightly wider.

lol, this car is from a dealer/importer, no work done, stock, except it had a remote start, but no remotes lol just antena.

can you e-mail or msn me some details...

just click on the link in my sig to see the mods , and click on the pic link on the side in my profile to see the pics , I would send you out the info , but it takes forever for me to type it out to each person seperately,

it's making 160rwkw on low boost , and at the push of a button it is around 180rwkw, it's very streetable as it has the standard turbo.

Just to put things in perspective, I bought my 97 GTST just over 6 months ago for $20k. It's in mint condition, was basically stock when I bought it (other than exhaust, air filter, Mines ECU and 17" wheels) and had been owned by a mature age owner. Had service records and receipts for timing belt change etc as well. He initially advertised the car for $23k, but I bargained him down to $20k. I looked at a lot of Series II GTST's over a few months and this one was by far the neatest example I had seen. I was prepared to pay up $23k, but by searching for a while and bargaining a little, I think I got myself a fantastic buy. My advise - be patient, look at as many cars as you can and be prepared to bargain a little. You should be able to score yourself something very tidy for around $20k... $25k is way overpriced for a stocker.

$25,000 is way over priced.

Im selling my car if u would be interested

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
