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!:

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
