hehe rigga..yes the good old boulevard.....my mate stakked his skyline there lollllllllll

its a great time to buy a skyline atm. Its a SHITTTT time to sell. The only way you will get rid of it quickly is to sell it dirt cheap.

I advertised on carpoint & unique cars. Advertised the car for 17K, I was looking for 15K because i wanted to get rid of it quickly because of financial troubles. Had a few tyre kickers and ppl wanting to drive it etc. I personally think that 15 was far too cheap, because i purchased the car a year ago for 22K. It was quite a nice example of a r33.

Eventually sold it to a mate for 15K. Lost out bigtime! I'm never buying another skyline again. The fines/canaries/epa's drove me insane. The car was nice but the running cost of up to 300+ bux a week in petrol was bullshit. The car depreciated hard in one year and because of all the bad publicity etc ppl dont' want to buy them unless its shit cheap.

Prepare to lose out. Thats all i can say. But put it this way. The longer you hold onto your car, the more you will lose out again. you might as well sell it now. R33 will fetch you probably 14-17K for a mildly modified model.

good luck.

I've had my car for just under 3 years now and I've never been pulled over or defected in any way. I guess its probably because my car has more than a bees dick clearance and the exhaust is a legal sound level :thumbsup:

As for running costs, I drove it down to Phillip Island for the long weekend and got 283km to almost half a tank of fuel... says something about the tune its in :uh-huh:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
