hesh

details posted, ....it was kind of a cheeky offer but you never know

really? oooh like wow?!

ev'nin phil ta mate, this is looking more and more like the way im gonna go, so if i find any local to lookat i may be taking you up on that offer of an "expert eye"

ok cheers guys

well ive been mooching the "for sale" on here for a wee while, and some are around what my skyline is worth , bout £3500, is this low for a good one then?

ok several simple questions lol thanks...

hi all, i currently have a skyline gts, and having seen some really nice 300zeds at a recent joint event, im interested in owning one. so one simple question, when buying a used zed what are the common problems and pits falls i should look for? do they have any water traps and potential rust problems? engine weak points or special service needs? ive spoken to one or tweo forum users on here before so thought id ask? oh and a rough idea of price for good unmolested ones would be an advantage as at present i know very little about these cars

just re read your second post too... 5K will get ya gtr but an r32 and it may have been (ab)used hard ....youd get a nice r33gts (t) or na fro under 5k and have change to spend on interesting bits

im gonna do some riging round at weekend and get some prospective dates etc ...ill post up next week if i get anything back

hiya mate, im from the skyline owneres forum, and happen to know about the gts as i have one .... firstly there are several gts types botom of the range is the 2.0litre sohc ...so well discount that if youre used to a tt zed. next is the normally aspreated gts with twin cam 2.5 liter rb25de that makes in region of 200 bhp. nice car ..if you can find one with a manual box. mine is a auto and is relatively quick , but in comparison with apache's na zed its a little tame ..(factory stadard) these can go up to 230bhp ish with minimal mods. top of the gts tree is the single turbo manual ...one ran 302 bhp last weekend on rr... these are very nice cars and relatively easy to live with as a daily driver (tho turbo issues as usual) if ya went for gtr youd mebbe get 350 bhp, but at cost of 13mpg and two turbos that need lookin after . final note there is an nice 245bhp auto normally asperated for sale at mo on our forum ...£3500 if ya interested ... hope that helps

apache, i cant get my pms on the skyline forum the systems down due to server hack, so ill repely tothe one i just got sent (but cant open 0when its fixxed

oh and the "track day" may now be a saterday on the track with a drag strip run on the sunday.....

lol we (the skylines) got our colective butts kicked only one gtr there to be fair and it was making 390bhp ...the closest after that was a gts t at 302....the i think 275 255 and me bringing up the rear with 183.....still was good laff

some of the guys on SO.com have suggested oulton park .....might suit both cars ...

hey if it works then an air field will sufice! so elving tons is onthe short list then ... im asking the same question on our forum so we shall see ...ill get a list of afew and prices etc ...

ok not croft then , but where is there within a days drive that wouldbe good for you guys? anyone ever done a good track day (relatively) locally before?

we may have to revise the leaderboard after the slipping clutch gets sorted.....grins ...i think the skylines have some catching up to do .....

nice day me thinks? so do we actually have "leaderboard"? Im cooking up another idea of a track day sometime in the summer... need to research prices and tracks ...any preferences on tracks for you guys? someone interesting but with long enuff straights to use the power

whata bummer.....dont think anyone down heres gonna have that size instock ... "it be yorkshire lad what you wanna be gettin one o them thar foreign bloody things for ...." etc etc....

see ya all there folks, shops open from ten, remember to bring some wrm kit, it may be dry and sunny but fook me yorkshires cold.... ahh burgers big turbos and bhp ... add a dash of mates and sprinkliny of laffs and thats a recepie for a cool day..

hi apache, got yer phone message mate but was outta the area unfortunatley....see ya next week! oh regarding running order the guys at the shop asked if we could run all "similar "cars in groups to reduce set up time..so we need to see who turns up ..and work with them on running order ....but if anyone needas to get off early for work .....or perhaps something important like beer then im sure we can sort it!

hi all, just returned from a trip north to sell my old mans MGB so missed a few posts.... see ya soon .... we may have some spaces on the day so even if ya turn up and aint got deposit you may possibly get a run ...just "pay on the door" sortathing?

oh yeah apache has asked me loads of times about a start time ...how does ten- ten thirty sound? any earlier and its gonna be a little baltic (cold) and mebbe even icy this far up north!

hi guys, me again, just thought i say hi, and clear up any confusion. this day will go ahead, just that 15cars is the ideal and the number on which the price was quoted so if we only get say 9 it may cost more..... as it is at the mo we are looking at around twelve running which should make it a nice chilled (and chilly as its still feb) day looking forward to seeing you all there.....

hi all one of our guys (skyline forum) just got back of holiday, so thats 6 cars plus your four.....thats still at the mo some way short of the 15 we need...so if ya think this might be laff send yer cheques "your club need your car"type thing i guess...... or is it your all afraid of a few skylines? grin!
