Hi everyone.
I've recently been spending ALOT of time looking around the site after it being recommended by a friend of mine who is one of your members by the name of Kingsley. If you know him like I do then I'm sure he'll be well known on here
Anyway, as Kingsley knows, I've been wanting to buy a skyline for a long time now but have had to put the idea off for various reasons...mainly the financial side. Things have finally got better and I am definately buying a skyline but wanted to make sure I don't jump into anything headfirst.
The skyline I'm looking for would ideally be a GTR33 preferably V-spec. If I could afford it, I'd love to get a 34 but I have to be fairly sensible. If you can spare some time, I'd like to know of any typical faults to look out for, good and bad points e.t.c.....all the usual stuff when buying a car...especially when its one you don't know much about like myself.
Also, I currently own a highly modified Calibra which I know is nothing in comparison but I have always done ALL the work on it, both mechanics and electrics myself and am reasonably competent in that area. With that in mind, is there many people on here who do the same with their skylines or do most people tend to leave it to specialists?
I know this is my first post, and a very long one at that but any and all help is greatly appreciated and you can be sure to see alot of me in the future when I have finally got the car I have always wanted.
