okay, lets be diplomatic about this andrew  

i deserve it more because i havent had a car for the past 6 months...

whats your excuse??? :)

My excuse is.........

I'll die if I don't have a Skyline in my garage :D

Just got off the phone with the owner, apparently its a good car with a set of turbo's etc... He said that the mechanicals are perfect and any test is welcome. The only thing wrong with it was the drivers seat had a slight wear/tear and the paint work needed a bit of touching up here and there. He has actually taken deposit for the vehicle and said to ring him on Friday just in case the person who bought it cant get the money/finance organised.

i'm not that desperate andrew, you're more than welcome to it ;)

there is another grey one on carsales in victoria that is equally as nice. just doesnt have the same go fast bits - but atleast it has a clutch :P

i rang him and he never answered. left a message and has not replied. ah well. plenty more fish in the ocean :)

I'm in no rush to buy anything at this stage ;)

And yeah, I think every single 1989 GTR was imported into Australia in the last year, so there are a couple to choose from :P

That's where I found it mate, note the URL of the picture in the first post...

I wanted to know if anyone on SAU personally KNEW of the car, but it seems not... That's cool :P

:cheers: 77,000kms.... it's done at least 100,000 by looking at the gear and handbrake boots.

I would think that a worn gear and handbrake boot would merely prove the fact that the car is 15 years old and the boots have never been replaced. If you drove 100 000kays in two years I'm sure the boots would still look brand new.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the k's are genuine. far from it a 15yo car with 70 odd kays is always going to be suss. I just think you are reading too much into something... It might be an excellent car.

exaccery.... do your homework and buy a car based on it's own merits :)

Bad Luck guys I just sold it. That was my car. The new owner just picked it up about 30mins ago. Goodluck to him as he had an inspection done as well to make sure it was OK. There was nothing wrong with it other than a tear in the drivers seat and the paint needed slight touch ups. It had N1 turbo's, coilover suspension, HKS Intercooler, Tom's Air filters, HKS exhaust, G Reddy Gauges and the list goes on. It was a bargain in my eyes but had to sell it due to some financial issues. ($70,000 owing from a builder).

Sorry I didnt want to mention it before. I didnt want to feel like I was advertising.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
