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.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
