Hi Everyone,

I've just started to get into Skylines and have decided I want one. The models i'm interested in are the R33 GTST although i'd prefer an R34 GTT and it must be an auto.

Can someone recommend a trustworthy dealer I can buy one from?

Alternativelty if someone here has one for private sale i'd be interested too.

Thanks,

Mike

I forgot to say that i'm in Victoria and obviously am interested in Vic dealers or sales.

There are heaps of skylines on sale in Victoria right now. You could try carsales.com.au or autotrader.com.au

But browse through the forums here first. You'd probably be able to get what u want. I wouldn't buy from a dealer as they are known to charge heaps more. But that's up to you. Good luck with your search!

don't go near any dealers.

try www.j-spec.com.au - they import cars but they've had quite a lot of R34's up on their lists at the moment...

I think there are a few more floating around in the big list as well.

there are plenty of auto r34's for around $30K [some more, some less] listed at http://carpoint.ninemsn.com.au and http://carsales.com.au / http://uniquecarsales.com.au

I went to one dealer today and couldn't believe what he was asking when i saw the condition of it. Front spoiler had heaps of chips on it, scratches on paintwork, generally a very average paint job, gearshift material torn, rust on discs and well if it was being sold for $12,000 maybe, he wanted $23,800.

Thanks for the tips, i'll check out the J-Spec site, although I would prefer to buy one locally, one i can go look at, test drive and so on.

Thanks for the tips. My first experience with a dealer was funny, as i mentioned elsewhere he was asking around $23,800 for what turns out to be a very average example compared to what i've seen turning up.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
