I dont know to much about ebay but with only a required 500 deposit when the biddings at over 13k already it sounds alittle questionable. No flames please but Im just saying I personally wouldnt bid.

That is a very uncommon coloured GTR.. and i think you'll find that the reason why it'll catcha high penny...

I seems to be missing quite a bit on the passenger side front, and i'd be hoping that when you get it, everythin else for the engine will be there..

apart from looking at the photos on the 2nd page they give you to look at, i think theres quite a lot more to what they are telling you.. why is the interior stipped ?

Although, those HKS hyper drag coilovers are awesome.. and thats from experience !

yea i was also wondering y the interior was stripped. they said that they needed to take the whole thing apart to check for other problems, i think, which i guess is legit, but i dont get y they had to take apart the interior for damage to the front engine bay part of the car. yea there is probably more wrong with the car than could be seen.

the parts thing was another concern, cause i was thinking it may not be that bad to fix if u could find a front clip of a skyline. but then i realized that that would be almost impossible, lol.

this car was just my ideal summer project car, cause it was probably my only chance to own a skyline, lol. i just thought id share it with all of u.

and poor skyline indeed

The front clip issue is not a problem.. If you lived in Australia

Still unsure of the interior thing though.. you should be able to see the chassis stress from underneath the the car, as if it hit from there, you'll see it.

Good luck if you do purchase it, that'll be a big summer project.. and i mean big !
