hey riaz!!! everyone is telling me there is no way i am going to get my car back the way I was talking to you about it..... :D i guess I shouldnt get my hopes up

do you know what skylines go for at auctions - one with a rear end hit (about $500 damage)... is there a big market for them?

thanks so much for the advice though - I am still going to try

you dont find any skylines at any auctions unless they are write offs.

usually to find one at a regular auction means the owner is not online and thinks the auction is a good way to get alot of money for a car.

i reckon still make the phone calls, like we talked about. it ideally all comes back to what percentage the car represented in the loan agreement as to what they want for it. but seriously cos you know the value and roughly what you are gonna pay, dont stress.

put the question out there. how many people have been through your situation and tried to buy their car back, would you even get 1 answer thats a yes.

i havent done that either, but I do know what goes on behind the scenes 85% of the time

i think you will fine.

I am going to phone the guys case manager from the bank - the one I have spoken to at least oncea week and I am going to do what you said - offer the reserve... but this is a $18000 car for like a $30 - 40000 loan... dont ask me how, what etc hahah all I know is that he used the skyine as security for the loan or whatever. So the bank will want to get as much as poss... which worries me that they think they will get more than the reserve at auction.

Dumb privacy act is preventing me getting too much info - but the copper that i have pressed charges with was a cop with my dad... so he has been getting alot of info for me

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
