Okay, the time has come to begin searching. with just over 2 weeks left of the financial year... Let the serious Skyline hunt begin.

Sadly, importing is not an option due to my proposed financier (Prosperion) not being able to finance a car until it's registered. After all, how can they ? When the car doesn't EXIST in this courntry yet... Sorry Geoff (prestige)

So now I'm on the dealer prowl for a:

1996 Spec2 Skyline GTSt

WHITE or Black, less than 80,000kms

Sunroof

ABS Brakes

GTR Rear wing

17's minimum

Suspension

S-AFC

Boost guage

Air-pod

Exhaust

Boost Controller (EVC or AVCR)

Turbo Timer

for around $24,000 would be nice....

oh yeah, it MUST be 96+ for prosperion.

If anyone has seen one, seen something similiar.... let me know. also, if you think this is possible..?

(FYI: ex-static's spec2, is EXACTLY what im lookin for, but in white + sunroof)

Cheers dudes....

Strich9ine,

Dude, glad your not too picky with the specs you are after!!!!:mad:

I'm thinking for the year you want and the mods you'd be looking closer to $30,000 for that, and you'd probably be better off getting a private sale with all those mods, car yards don't tend to have much more than exhaust, pod ect...

Good luck looking though man....

Damn!!!!!

I got my early 96 (with series 1 interior) with jap sus and jap exhaust for $34,000 2 years ago!!!! Can't believe how much the price has dropped for them. The car yard was asking $38,000 and I looked at two others from different car yards, same year for over $40,000.... But I guess back then there wasn't many around.

Lucky bastard....:mad:

  • 2 years later...

I know a guy with one thats been in the country for a while, it had some misfire problem which turned out to be spark plugs, but he fixed that. Its a white one. PM me if you're interested and I'll put you in contact with him.......... :aroused:

at motor forum in mandurah they have one exactly with wat ur looking for for 22k.Its a m spec with 17'' gold rims huge exhaust plus others.I drove it and its f****** fast eh.

That is a straight and clean car and it is a bargin price, the wheels are worth of fortune, it was bought by Mark Hocking of www.mytrading.org fame or you can see him on Hard Tuned Imports 3.

$22,000 with dealers warrenty and RAC can inspect it.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
