I had one guy look at the photos of it " Not hyperdrive" and he told me a few things but the most troubling thing that he said is that its very possible that the car is a chop job.. That explains why about 90% of the parts are from different series skylines.. He has it advertised for $15'000 as a Nissan Skyline Series II GTS-T M-Spec 1996. It has a series one front end, series II rear end, no passenger side airbag and what looks like some re painted pannels. Im not 100% saying its a crap car its just not what he is advertising it for.

The front bumper is a series 1 Mspec bumper unpainted, it vibrates HEAPS at 80km per hour.. and looks like about $600 - $1000 to fix that...AT LEAST

Hey guys,

All i can say is, anyone should jsut keep away from cars like this. Quite apparent from the word go that this car is dodgy (96 plates etc). There are plenty of great quality cheap skylines come up on the market if you are willing to wait (most of them are for sale to get out of debt haha what a suprise). I looked at a 32 last week the guy assured me it was fine. Had an racq check and it didn't turn up any good 200 down the drain. When buying any skyline or car for that matter it is 100% worth having a pre purchase inspection done espiecally with skylines as part often cost a fair bit. Thanks for starting this post Alpha big help for alot of people who might have bought this car.

Cheers, the shocking thing is that he is selling it on THIS FORUM aswell ! !

Have a look at this post:

He has messed up because he is using a different excuse for the front damage on the car.

sorry guys after all this fuss, the car has been sold, yes the car is a series 2 the vin showed 109900+ made, the brake lines and hoses all had corresponding dates too! yes seats and dash are series 2, steer wheel is series 1, what for no 1 knows, no evidence of a serious accident was found when put on a hoist and no evidence of being car alligned either. i agree the grill is different to most series 2's but some1 might have liked this grill better and put it in for whatever reason, and finally, as with most imports that you get from japan, do you really know the whole and entire story of the car you buy? can you honestly believe the k's are real? or even, as with this car, why would some 1 change small things without any evidence of greater things happening, you nor i have the answer, only the previous owner does

also guys, car was bought by an import dealer who has brought many cars in from japan, not all skyline but quite a few still, he gave the car the once over and gave it the all clear, except for a uni joint which he said cost about $100, and comparing it to both series 1 and 2 in his lot came up with this, "series 2, some series 1 parts, but definitely not a series 1"

yeah well adam, i guess lessons learned eh? you know promises are what makes a bloke, and is his word is how he is always remembered. no hard feelings, just go away with a little more of yourself and i'll be alright, cheers mate, stets

:rofl: :bs!:

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
