Hey chaps,
I've got an itch that I need to scratch in the form of either a phase 1 or a genuine cup car.
I've advertised the skyline but all I've had are penniless idiots and chavs enquiring about it so I'd rather try to swap it for a car that I'd buy with the funds anyway.
Its a 1990 Gtr that I've owned for the last 9 years and have done less than 2,000 miles in.
The clocks still read in kmh which is how they should operate to give the correct speed measurements to the 4wd system.
The mileage is reading exactly 98,000 km or about 59,000 miles.
The car has been off the road for a good 2 years now due to needing a new front diff. Its been one of those jobs that I've been 'getting round to'
The car still drives fine but the front diff is whining.
The brakes will need replacing due to being stood. I took it for a trip round the block 3 weeks ago when the pics were taken and it felt like the discs had turned into 50 pence pieces!
There is rust appearing on the rear arches and the end of the sills.
Wants a pair of rear tyres
That's the bad points out of the way.
Now the good.
Maybe 3 weeks after buying the car the oil pump failed resulting in a knocking bottom end. At a cost of £3,200 I had the engine striped and rebuilt with a reground crank, new rings, new oil pump and the cam buckets re-shimmed
The engine is in rude health and sounds fantastic but please don't ask for any receipts for the work undertaken. This was over 9 years ago and I lose things frequently so the bill is long gone. The guy that rebuilt it was a bloke called tony who ran a garage called ART in Wakefield. If he's still on the go I'm sure he'd remember doing it.
Its fitted with:
HKS air filters
Mecca G ecu (original included)
De cat
3" cat back
HKS EVC 6 boost controller
JIC magic coilovers
As it stands I'd value the car close to £4k but will listen to any deal involving a phase 1 (silver preferred) or a cup car.
I already have a phase 2 which I'm trying to make as close to mint as possible so not looking for another. Just a phase 1 that I can have fun with.
Hopefully you should be able to see a few pics of the skyline here:

I'm not so computer literate so I won be supprised if that doesn't work. Those pics are only 3 weeks old by the way.
Thanks
