Nissan Skyline questions?!?!

[moka989]

Im looking at a Nissan Skyline GTS-t

R32 w/ RB25DET (swap)

car has original 50,000k

has HICAS all wheel steering, aftermarket exhaust, GTR spoiler / body kit.

Went to look today, it started up fine even in the cold, it sounds great, clutch is good, tires are good, outside of car is great, no rust, under the hood is supremely clean, not even any dust LOL

selling for $8,500 what do you think, should I take it?

[Shlade]

seems like a pretty decent price for a rb25 clean swapped skyline!

Take it for inspection and see what happens! If she passes id go for it

[moka989]

nice yeh, they said they would let me take it to a shop to get it checked out, luckily it is down the street from my shop! aha

[Shlade]

got any pics??

[inline6turbo]

I disagree, $8500 seems supremely overpriced for that. Sorry.

Offer them $6000.

Or buy a 95 R33 Gtst with the original engine (RB25DET) for the same price and then you know you're not gambling with swapped, unknown engines.

BTW, it doesn't have 50,000 ORIGINAL kms. That should never be a selling feature lol. Put a 2 in front of it, make it more accurate.

Yeah, $8500 is a little bit much for an R32. I'd expect it to be pretty near flawless at that price.

Don't get an R33 though, gaaaaaay (and slow).

Yeah it's only a GTST.

I was browsing the hell out of Kijiji today and some some wayyy better finds. 300whp S14 for 4g. 350whp 1g DSM for 6 grand. Both would knock the socks off a GTST, even with a decent amount of mods done to it.

If you're looking at buying it just to own a Skyline, well, that's your thing.

There's that DSM though.

I love 1g DSM cars.

[moka989]

it is pretty near flawless, what do u mean about oringal kms, im saying chassis has 50k and engine has less (but who knows)

[ercchry]

and onto the skyrine.... hicas is not good... you want that shit locked out... rb25 is nice... but you will need a new turbo if you want to run any more then ~12psi of boost since the stock ones grenade around there...

would it be faster then that s13 posted? hell ya... would it be more fun around corners then that fwd talon that was posted? you know it... would i pay $8500 for that car? heeellll no... but you could give me $8500 for mine

[SRT10Killer]

really do some homework on this topic man .. both skylines and JDM cars

for 8.5k you can get close to immaculate ACTUAL r33 gts, there was also a gtr with 350z wheels for 9k.

also think about if you really want a rear wheel drive car that you will never sell for that price again


I would take any of these car anyday bofore a non-GTR for 8500.
That talon is a hell of deal too, you will have way more fun plus it has a rebuild.

I would look at AWD cars like wrxs, celicas, talons and even a non-turbo GTO(AWD), first because while owning rwd cars you will not have a great time in winter

buy my skyline for 14g

No way it would be making 300 without a upgraded maf and injectors.

Lol


Do some homework. We shouldn't have to teach you

Tip: 99% of Skylines and Supras have odometers that are turned back. There is actually a company that offers importers the OPTION of having the odos turned back in Japan after they purchase the car for like 100$. The only cars I trust mileage on (in my experience) are GTRs and all trucks/vans like Hilux and Delica.

[msommers]

I agree, go R33 GTS or R32 GTR...or R33 GTR... Personally I like the look of R32 more than R33 but whatever.

GTR's are notorious to have to be rebuilt around 100k. Here's what you do, buy a GTR with a blown to shit engine and hopefully tranny. Then, buy a brand new GTR engine and tranny and you're good to go!

[chris746]

dont listen to these heros. if the car is nice and you like it get it. not all j cars have changed odometers...
