Yea when I was taking the photo I saw the word maintenance and thought that was probably the reason. Not a not a bad thing though.

Thanks mate. She looks pretty much brand new in the flesh. Usually a foamer at every set of traffic lights and gas station haha.

Chassis number starts with 31 so looks like prob not

Boost restricter has been replaced with a boost controller but it's had been raised from stock yet. Ill take a build plate picture now.

How do you know it's its a nismo? I got a plaque on the firewall that says some shit about nismo, a build number and some other crap saying omori Mines got tomei cams and cam gears, mines ecu, aem fuel pump and cusco LSD and an exhaust. Still running factory boost with stock turbos. Prob going to buy some steel wheeled turbos and crank the boost up. Goes pretty damn hard as it is. I can do 180k in third and lights the tires up when you give it a big first to second thrash.

Couple of pictures. Will make a thread when I'm finished thrashing this all over Auckland.

Looking good. Much done to it? I was originally after a darker color but after seeing white with my own eyes I was sold.

just discharge it yourself outside, not in a garage. spend your $163 on greenie save the world products and your have basically equalled out the damage. edit: its a track car, your saving the environment by not driving it daily. already a hero

Cheers guy looks like the general consensus is that gtrs are welcome. I will take some photos tomorrow night. She's pretty mint. Don't get much change for a good one from 30gs though which stings a bit. Still got to put my evo 5 on trademe to get some dollars back. Have wanted once since I was about 15, am 30 now and with Auckland house prices I thought fuck all this saving for an impossible purchase I'm buying a gtr. Tempted to see if I can sneak this into the Christmas drag day up here in Auckland..

Ill put some pictures up. Should be interesting enough. Not game enough to join a skyline forum for fear of becoming a munter.

I brought one, picking it up tomorrow. Worth making an other projects thread? Or are RB's banned from here?

Governorsam was most helpful and as he's a gc he wouldn't accept my dollars for his time and wanted it to be donated to the Chris American fund and have done so. Yea car wasnt quite what I was after, I do agree seems like a good deal and seller did text me today saying some purchased it. I'm going to just spend the extra for a better example. Looking at two today in Auckland which are 3-6k more expensive but depending on issues probably cheaper in the long run. The search continues.

Thanks for all your assistance guys. Governorsam's got this one covered. Will let you know how it goes.

Thanks Kyteler, I have PM'd Governorsam so will see how that goes. Car is completely stock so there isnt any half arse mods on it Fingers crossed shes a good one. Ill bring that home then probably sell the evo and spend the money from that on the Prince and probably a some extra ponys for the skyline.

Hi guys, I know its not oldschool but I am looking at buying a 1994 Nissan Skyline GTR from down in Christchurch, only issue is I am up in Auckland. Anyone able to have a look at the car for me? Go for a ride along with the owner and make sure it is actually not a lemon? I am mainly after any mechanical issues or rust. I will pay you for your time if you can take some notes and actually send through some info regarding the quality of the car. The owner has been very cooperative with me so I do not doubt his claims but I have been burned before. Thanks in advance.

had first test drive this weekend. went fine, no issues except a bit of hesitation when getting on the gas. can jandel your way through it so no worries there. had an oil leak where the line to the oil pressure gauge got a pin hole so just disconnected that for now. had to fix a few exhaust leaks where i welded the flanges on, was expected though. heres a video. looks fine on a phone, was facebook messaged to me so looked a little crap after that now youtube has made it look like it was filmed in the early 90s. oh well.

Getting closer to on road status now. Since last update I have made a new exhaust, fixed all the remaining rust in the inner wheel arch and sealed all that up. New starter solenoid. Still need to get some crimps and connections to rewire a few things that are twist and tapped to just get it going but that will be taking place Saturday. Also got a spare engine to have a play on as have never pulled one down. Got a stand for it also just need to attach it at some point. Pictures Exhaust looking nice and new. Ignore the muffler, hasn't been replaced. Fixed a big hole here and was difficult as a few areas meet here. A lot of little patches on the inside then welded a big patch over and sealed it all up. Engine all ready to go. Hopefully a driving video this weekend if it stays sunny and the car actually works. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/36619-daves-prince-b200/ Discussion thread here if you want to have a yarn.

hey sheepers, the guy peter who did the replacement panel to remove the sunroof did he come to your house to patch that? how much did this set you back? I am about to tackle my 80s spec sunroof mod delete mission and would rather pay someone to do it as I feel im going to ruin it as the roof is a rather large part of the car. pm me if it works for you.

well you cant paint over phosphoric acid so you got to wash it off, get a damp rag to wipe down the panel after its done its job then wipe with another rag with some spirits on it to clean the panel then paint it. I think the comment of splashing water everywhere is when it gets in your seams and you have to get that shit out. if you panel has too many scabs and is really rusty use mechanical means of removing it first via wire wheel (or even a brush if you cant get your drill or grinder in there) as the acid doesn't eat through half a mm of rust in my experience it only really works the surface so you have to remove as much as possible before hand. if your panel is really shit just cut it out and put some new steel in there. step 1: find some rust step 2: mechanically remove as much as you can however you can step 3: brush on some phosphoric acid (or wipe it on with a rag) make sure you wear gloves as it isn't that good on the skin or any cuts you got from removing the rust previously. step 4: drink a beer or two or find other patches of rust to fix. step 5: check your rust patch to see how it looks, apply for acid if needed. step 6: wipe down with a damp rag to get rid of the acid. might take a few wipes to get stuff all nice and clean. step 7: wipe down with spirits to clean the panel. step 8: paint it. step 9: cavity wax etc if needed. also I like to work out why that shit has rust out. if there is a drain hole make it bigger/actually work. if its getting there from somewhere else that has been compromised your repair will be in vain and rust will come back. automotive seam sealer works great for sealing stuff up. EDIT: also rust kill when you are ready to paint that area. there is no point rust killing the area only to leave it sitting for 2 weeks/months. rust starts as soon as you stop converting so don't let it take too much hold of your panel before you paint it.

careful using it around the seams on your floor. try not to get it into any places where you cant then neutralise it. I just use the 250ml supercheap crap, I didn't find it too expensive and the bottle lasts ages. you can buy it in bulk from chemical suppliers, have also seen it on trademe in bulk but if you were to buy a 20l bulk container it would last the rest of your life plus the next few generations.

the tar stuff never sets. its suppose to be like that to "self repair" when it gets pummelled with stones etc. to stop it being nasty and all the dirt sticking to it I just went over the underseal in my arches with a can of black spray paint.

Just clean the underside, fix/neutralise any rust and slap some underseal on. I use brush on, currently using some stuff that smells like tar, mendent underseal. It's cheap as too and didnt take long to brush on. It is a nightmare if you ever want to remove it again though

Sorted. Cheers

hey guys. anyone around east Auckland or even the Auckland area in general have an engine crane I can borrow for a bit? need to put my engine back in, usually takes 45mins to an hour. will return same day plus beverages if your that way inclined. I live in pakuranga and will arrange a vehicle to pick it up unless your a overly GC and can bring it over for some gas money etc. preferably this weekend also. cheers

Got some tube and made up the gaps in the last 3. Got a welder here so will weld shortly They all line up pretty good for not really knowing what I'm doing. Just made them out of cardboard tube, made it fit then cut down the centre of the tube to wrap it around my pipe then cut it with a grinder. Came up almost perfect first try then just needed a bit of grinding to make fit better. Slowly getting there...
