:cool: but :( at the same time....

 

Bought my replacement for the Skyline this morning.

 

Pick her up in a week or so, 99T S14a 48k miles with the white leather :)

As I've said, the Skyline never gets above 40mph in the rush hour traffic I use it in so its wasted on me *sobs!* So selling for the 200 and getting a bike too, so that should satisfy the speed kicks!

 

Just gotta sell the Skyline now, currently running at 3 cars and 3 pushbikes - 1 person can NEVER have enough transport - though the folks are less than amused! LMFAO!

Cheers guys :D One thing for sure the standard 200 is alot more comfy and easy to drive than a raw Stage 1, lowered skyline! LOL!! SO the 200 should make more sense on the commute. But will defo miss the GTR. Still don't know if I'm doing the right thing but hey ho, decision now made!!!! LOL!

 

And no Ro, you can't have my Skyline for £50 :p LMAO!!! Thats barely my average fare :p :D :D

Ro, your such a joker that's too low, Neil i'll give you £100 :D

 

Seriously it looks a very tidy car there mate, very nice. :clap:

 

i know mate, it's worth a good £14k maybe....but the fact that Neil owned it knocks about £13950 off the value! :D

 

s14 looks lush mate :D

Looks nice mate, what bike you gonna get? :)

 

I'm hoping to get a ZX6R mate (always been my fav bike), commute on that where possible, and use the car when it isn't :) I did want the 636 model, but I had to pay a little more than I wanted to get the car I wanted so will prob just get one of the 599's instead, still good enough for me! :cool:

Looks good :)

 

Went out in my mates s14a the other night, running 270ish with what he's done so far.

 

Have you got plans for this one?

 

Not too much really mate, I've put ALOT of money into my old Scoob, Supra and GTR and this time I'm trying to leave kinda alone ;)

 

My R34 GTR rims fit, they are going on, Blitz SBC-ID will transfer. My EDFC will fit if I get Tein Sus but will prob sell that. Then really just gonna do Apexi Intake and Exhaust, leave it there. (all cars need a zorst after all!). A few Whiteline bush bits just to sort the slightly iffy suspension ;)

 

That should see me with 240-250bhp and still reasonable mpg so that will be plenty :cool:

Sorry to hear the liners going fella :( But you made a good choice. Mate has just bought one too :cool: i do like em as well :cool: How much did you get it for?? And how much you hoping to get for the skyline?

 

Yeah mate, thats been a VERY hard decision to make! Ta tho :)

 

This cost me slightly the wrong side of 5.5, but it does come with 6 months warranty, decent F1 tyres, service just done, MOT just done, Tax etc, so its not too bad, shouldn't need anything spending on it. :cool:

 

The Skyline would be around 14-14.5k if I left it, but as I'm taking a few bits off I'll prob advertise it for 13-13.5................

Willson, its not a bad bit of kit for what it is and the interior is quite nice, as I said above the sus is a bit dicky but you can fix that for not much :cool: Engine is pretty much bulletproof like a Type-R is really - and as it runs a timing chain, no need to worry about cam belts! :)

 

And to anyone else I didn't reply to directly - thanks for the comments :cool: :D

Nice! those S14a`s look hard as fuck, How much you pay for it? I was looking at getting one of these when I need a cheaper car. Slam it on the same wheels as the drift works car would look the nuts! Shame about liner rare midnight purple as well!

5.5k :D

They are damn good value !

 

Yeah mate, I had a lot of thoughts, but theres nothing that comes close IMHO of what you get for the money. Only other would have been a Celica GT4, but that would have been 5 years older................

First thing you need to do is fit a walbro fuel pump in there mate, they all fail at 60k :)

 

Apart from the odd manifold cracking and the turbo gaskets going they are virtually bombproof and can take loads of abuse :) Mine did and is still running strong :)
